    Duran is a complete non factor here as far as I'm concerned.

    Agreed, its laughable to mention Duran as a FWT.

    If it weren't for Sanchez and Nelson, Gomez may have become recognized as one of the best.

    No place for Morales IMO. Naz at no.10, Ernesto Marcel should be in there too.

    there is no way MAB and EM could be ranked higher than PAC

    unless you ranked joppy over trinidad at 160

    Career wise, Pacquiao`s weight jumping achievements will have him ranked higher than Morales & Barrera more so than the 2-1 & 2-0 h2h fights between them, the new overthrows the old, thats the way it has always been & boxing experts usually take this on board.

    Pac had one great fight of note at FWT, vs MAB, he did practically nothing else except throw away what should have been a guarateed victory over JMM by letting his reckless ass get out boxed after a brilliant 1st round.

    Pacquiao would never have beat any version of Morales pre Raheem, never mind the 126 lb version that was sharper than the 130 version that did beat Pac. I also dont think any FWT version of Pac would beat the Barrera that beat Naseem.

    Morales & Barrera were better FWTs than Pacquiao.

    Are you simple??

    I'm guessing you rank Leonard over Hagler at MW??
    Berbick over Ali at HW??
    Spinks over Holmes at HW??

    Also...by your logic Pac is only as good as Sanchez at SBW as they drew???

    What a stupid comment!!!

    All that needs to be said.

    By Asero's logic, which is completely absurd, Pacquiao would also rate higher than Hatton at 140lbs. Not how Boxing works, not at all. If Pacquiao was to stick at 140lbs and dominate for a number of years there, he'd have a case otherwise you don't rank as the best Junior Welterweight of the last decade with a victory over Hatton, who himself wasn't even the best JWW of the last decade.
