Beat the #2 p4p in the world (Marquez), the #1 p4p in the world (Paquiauo), then ended his career defeating the welterweight champion of the world (Mosley/Cotto)? Where would you rate him in this era and ATG?
Hes already top 30 to me. so doing that he might get top 15 but its rough these days. alot of great boxer back then.
Depends on who the man is and when he fights him, if it's Mosley and it's three years down the road then it wouldn't be as well regarded as if he fights him by the beginning of next year, and if it's Cotto it will depend on what he does after his defeat. I'd probably rate him the best since Whitaker and in later years he may even get rated higher than him as his legacy ages.
So the guy who took Pac the distance twice. And came back almost win, some think he won. IS a joke fight? Please..
