    pac... as it stands today is def a top 50 fighter.. even the die hard haters must admit that

    but top 10 i think is saying a bit much
    i seem to treat pacquiao and mayweather the same as i do barrera and morales

    wherever i put them on my all time great list they must be next to eachother (or atleast until pac and may fight if that happends)

    today i would have both fights in my high 20's off the top of my head

    Post-Fight analysis of Pac-JMM 3:

    Jim Lampley: "If JMM was able to counter Pacquiao all night, Mayweather will counter-punch Pac to death if they ever fought!"


    E. Steward: "He possibly could but I think Floyd does still have doubts in his mind if he can beat Pac but it's a fight that I think Floyd will win!" :happy

    you happy? :rofl

    Both lists are very questionable, but it's their opinion and so be it.

    Big fan of Tommy, but his list shouldn't even be discussed because of all the punches he took to entertain us over his ATG career.

    Nah not really. Unlike alot of peeps I dont need trainers, media, or promoters to make my decision. I try very hard not to be influence by it. Pac is great there is just alot of Asterix on his whole career to be place top 10.

    I have Pac in the top 10 at number 9 also and I have Floyd up there too but Floyd needs to beat Cotto to take Pac's position.

    Can you really think of 10 fighters better than Pac and Floyd? And if Pac beats Bradley and Floyd remains undefeated and beats Cotto they both should be in everyones top 10 on resume alone.
