If Pacquiao was to beat Mayweather...IF would he be the GOAT?

[Boxing Goat]

Yea that KO to Marquez ruined his legacy/aura. He shoulda just sat out after the margarito fight until the floyd fight. Cuz hey if he lost to floyd nothing would happen to his legacy, but losing to a lesser fighter would.

But that KO of May would def put him back on top over may. May has took the lead recently with pac slipping, tripping and falling flat on his face

Nah, his 2 (should be 3) wins over Marquez make up for the lone loss.

I'm sorry but Pacquiao will never beat Mayweather because Mayweather will never fight Pacquiao. Mayweather worshipers would rather see him beat Pacquiao in their dreams. It doesn't have to happen. I understand.

If pac is American then there's a chance. I think floyd has a chance to be the goat if he continue fighting the best.

[revs1227]

no ...as ric flair says "to be the man u gotta beat the man " wooooooo"

having said that "the man" is SRR and hes dead so no

If you take all factors into consideration, coming back from a bad KO loss, being written off etc. Would it warrant GOAT status?

There are no circumstances under which such a thing could even be considered. Mayweather doesn't have the neccessary talent nor other intangible qualities to qualify as the road to a conqueror being an ATG. Hi record is far too full of carefully chosen guys who had little chance of winning, like Bruselles, NDou, Gatti, Baldomir, a well-past-date Oscar and Mosley, etc. And who the hell are victor Ortiz and Guerrero to give Mayweather the aura of an ATG or near ATG.

His whole career has been carefully steered, to give a credulous following the smoke and mirrors effect. None of the above opponents was better than average, some a lot less, and his best opponent by far was a Cotto already on the slide.

He got a "gift" decision against Castillo whose main claim to fame was that he was the sparring partner of Julio Cesar Chavez for 6 years. If Emanuel Augustus with 18 losses, had had a punch, we'd never have heard much ore from Mayweather, at least or a long while, because Augustus hit him more than any other fighter until maybe Cotto.
Popularity of some of those opponents has nothing to do with their skills, though a few may get into the HOF.

It'd do nothing because even if Pac beat PBF IRL, he'd still lose in fantasy fights.

[Warrios]

absolutely not. first of all floyd has already lost, castillo tapped that ass when floyd was in his athletic prime. beating floyd is an overrated concept....he hasn't done so much to warrant that much acclaim if one were to beat him, officially at least. now, if a post-marquez, post rios pacquiao were to defeat floyd, that would be a little impressive, I'll admit.
