    If he KOs Broner and then one of the major PBC welters, or beats Floyd officially, he has to be Top 5 ATG.

    I have him as the GOAT, but understand that most have him Top 10-20.

    I think if he looks good winning this one, he will go on to either fight mayweather or thurman or mikey. Spence or shawn porter would brutalize the version of manny we've been seeing.

    Spence, yes. Not Porter. How do you think of a Pacquiao-Mikey showdown goes?

    He’d be 47 y/o by that time.

    At 40 above his best weight class it'd be impossible to achieve. IF he did pull it off he is God incarnate.

    Just fully read the title, thought you meant beat ALL of them before retiring. I'd give him a chance against Garcia and Garcia but not Thurman or Spence at this point.

    If he blows through Broner, beats one of those top welters AND gets the nod in a Floyd rematch......he deservingly would be in the GOAT category

    Pacquiao has a 2 fight deal w/ PBC... And he has expressed that his final fight be in the Philippines after, so it's not gonna be a big name... So it's looking like:
    • Broner
    • Floyd/Mikey/Danny/Spence/Thurman/Porter
    • Bum (farewell fight)

    He ain’t beating Floyd I’m sorry it won’t happened. If he KOd Broner and unified he still wouldn’t be the goat because Mayweather beat him and that was his equal in the era

    i dont know. i dont consider two guys past their prime to be equally past their prime. guys age at diff rates. i prefer to judge as prime vs prime. and we saw (sort of) that.

    nonetheless, if he did pull that off, broner, Floyd, a third champ...id be willing to call him in the convo for #1 ever. hes close now anyway.

    The Floyd fight means nothing now, a win over Spence would be a lot more impressive.

    Except Mayweather was naturally larger with a reach that rivals that of some heavyweights. A prime Pac would have beaten Floyd but a washed up pac was at a severe size disadvantage.

    It's too late for Pac to be the Goat. He wasted too many years 2011-2015 doing little of note. Guys like Duran/Robinson/Armstrong have better claims. But beating the young guns when he's past prime is a nice way to spice up a resume.

    You swear like Floyd isn’t older and was in his prime. It’s a styles thing, Floyd beats his ass worst in his prime. Besides that Mannys shoulder was injured so he had a handicap. He could lift his arm for selfies and pictures but using it in the biggiest fight of his life he couldn’t... it is what it is Manny “48” Pacquaio
