Rate Pacman ATG List

Semantics a ***** aint it, he fought at light middle...but yeah you get the point. I'd probably be telling my grandkids that this Pacquiao superboxer faced a 200 lb Margaritio and nearly decapitated him.

 

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at **** like this

 

If at the age of 79 I am still suffering conversations about Pacquiao, ****ing page Dr. Kevorkian III.

Remind me when he "tore through" lightweight? :think

I seem to remember him beating David Diaz.

If it stands up to the test of time. Hence my earlier post.

Well...yeah...those who saw him perform in person will probably all be deceased. :blood So there won't be reminiscing...but if you mean to imply that people will hold Pacquiao in higher "ATG" regard than Ali...I guess I don't want to live to be 79 if humanity is going to bottom out to a double digit average IQ.

 

Best of his generation. When he went up from SFW to beat Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, after having already sealed his legacy as an ATG in his wars with Morales, Barrera and Marquez, they were calling him this era's Henry Armstrong. They were ranking him top 20, possibly future top 10 with the hype and sensational manner of his victories fresh in people's minds.

Then the tall poppy syndrome hit when he became the face of boxing, and hate set in for certain fans after the Mayweather fiasco, and now his ability and achievements are grossly underrated and hardly any see him top 20, or for some even 50.

It will take a few years after he's retired for the illogical and irrational hatred and bias against him to die down for his career to be properly assessed and for fans to properly reflect on what he did.

Seeing as no-one will likely ever go from light flyweight to welter and succeed like he did, a good % of his best wins coming as an underdog proving most people wrong, after overcoming adversity of his bad early losses, to go on to dominate top fighters across so many weights, especially late in his career as an undersized WW/JWW, he stands to rate very highly, in the higher-echelon of ATGs. My guess would be top 15 atleast.

 

There ya go again trying to start **** while failing to see the actual point. This must be standard ***** behavior. You mean to tell me that when you're 80/90 years old you're gonna be telling the lil ones about fighters you know jack **** about or the ones you actually watched during their prime? Lemme put it this way, the first time I heard about Ali/Frazier/Duran was when my pops talked about them coz those were the fighters during his time. Hmmm, I can you picture you now in yor rocking chair telling BballChump da III, yeah son that Henry Armstrong was the best to lace 'em up. GTFOutta here......

 

yes I'm going to tell my kids about Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson while I'm at it. Why the hell wouldn't I?

 

That or people just refuse to look at or acknowledge what Pac has actually accomplished (see below what he's done and comparisons to the Top 10 ATGs according to The Ring) and just focus on belittling everything he's done for the sake of hating him or his fans.

They only killed like 200 people. Most of them evil bankers.

 

78, why?

Uh oh. Everybody STFU about Pacquiao already!!!!

 

This would be around his H2H status for sure.

 

:rofl:roflatsch

oh **** my bad. You guys are right.

I can't wait to tell my kids about the great Sergio Martinez 50 years from now

 

I think some people believe Pacquiao's 8 titles is impossible. There are plenty of fighters before him that could have achieved the same had their been so many titles back then. I would put him somewhere below the top 10.

 

Sooo, now you have to physically live in the era of a fighter to be able to compare them or rate them highly? :think

 

:rofl:rofl

 

Above 20 because the top 20 is so crowded with topnotch talent, opposition and legacies.
I mean you can shuffle the people within the top 20 but booting someone off of it would need some pretty long and tedious justification.

I'm thinking anywhere from 21-30 is real appreciation, 30-40 is ok, but 40 and above is taking the wins over EM, MAB and JMM like they are nothing.
