    I have him at number 30, so naturally somewhere between 25 and 35 sounds about right to me.

    Top 30.

    Yes he's a multiple weight champion and the wins over Barrera and a slightly faded but still elite Morales was great but he also lost to a prime Morales, got lucky decisions against Marquez and as for his escapades at the higher weights well for me the silhouette of his freakish balloon head hangs like a dark and suspect shadow over his accomplishments during that time.

    I have him at bang on 30 as well but I'm redoing my list with the new Thurman victory.

    That’s about where I’d have him. Fantastic fighter and a great career.

    having a poll where pac ranks with 2 of the choices inside the top 5, one inside the top 10, and one inside the top 20 leaves out about 100 years of boxing .. anywhere from 30 - 45 would be OK with me

    To me I think he's done enough to warrant Top 10 - 20 right now. His career will look better over time once he retires. I can still see him winning against another top fighter.

    He is confortably in the top 50 or so at this point. Slightly higher than Mayweather.

    Hard to rank him for me. What was his best weight? It's been a while since I watched the Marquez fights but didn't think Pacquiao won any of them.

    Top 30, slightly higher than Floyd.If he beats someone like Spence or Crawford, he cracks the Top20 or even Top15.

    It’s disappointing some fans think if you don’t rank someone in the top 5 all time you think their a bum
