    This makes him undisputed at 147 at age 42/43. Where would Pacman rank ALL TIME?

    I remember these threads that said "If pac were to beat ODLH, where would he rank all time?".

    Then it was, "if Pac could beat Cotto, where would he rank all time?" - keep in mind the possibility of this at the time was considered 1/100.

    He has a realistic chance of beating both guys though. Crawford will be much harder.

    People move goalposts, what's the point.

    It's true, but I think with Pac's career coming to a close (whereas he was just entering his prime during his initial run at the higher weights), people will be forced to give Pac his due.

    Right now, most people pick Spence and Crawford to smoke Pac. Yeah, they did the same with Oscar and Cotto, but like I said, it's the end times for Pacquiao.

    Undisputed used to mean all the major titles, then when we had four, many outlets started to accept 3 of whichever 4 that became commonly accepted. So, I'm not sure about the undisputed matter. I'd actually consider it so impressive he'd probably move into around the tenth spot for me. It'd be outrageous, really. It's one of those things where you logically know he could have another great win because he just beat Thurman, and yet, the chances of beating arguably the top 1-3 p4p fighter in the weight class he fights at, at this age, in a unification bout...just outrageous. It shouldn't happen...but it could. I picked top ten but it's a 10-15 somewhere thing, I would say.

    Pac would hold all four belts. That's the modern day interpretation of undisputed. It would be insane.

    Spence holds the WBC and IBF. Crawford the WBO. And Pac has the WBA.

    The only person moving goal posts is Pacquiao. He smashed what people 'set' for him, and then sets new ones. Everyone else is playing catch-up.
