Is Manny Pacquiao a top 15 all time great

I don't think top 15 can be justified yet. I think anywhere from 20-30 is fine for now.

 

This. Like I said way before the fight, Cotto should NOT elevate anyone to the top 20.

 

Not yet, but getting there fast.

 

i'd say top 20-25

 

Yes. I believe accomplishments wise he's in the same league as SRL.

 

Top 15 now, if he beats Mayweather then retires we will be talking abotu him as a top 5 in 10 years time

 

imagine pac was hit by a bus and could never fight again. atg wise i would say he matches well against haglers and leonards as far as what he has done in the ring. 106-147 is a tough climb, and i don't see any ducking.

 

look, i'm no historian, but i've been watching boxing since i was a kid, and although i'm only 20....thats a lot of boxing i've seen in my short life

so i'd like hear to the reasoning behind these 20-30 fighters being greater then Manny.....

now dont take this the wrong way, cuzz i'm not saying there aren't any, but i'd just like someone to pinpoint me reasons of why they are.....cuzz obviously Manny's the greatest fighter of my generation, so i'm curious to know what he's missing that these other guys have

is they're any1 who can fill me on this? and i dont mean just youtube footage, cuzz i've likely seen that already...i'd like to hear about achievements, resume, etc..

 

Top 20-30, if he fights and beats Mayweather definitely within the top 20.

 

GTFO :good
Compare their oppositions and you'll see that it's not close.

 

I'm interested on seeing your list. Please? :bbb

 

Off the top of my head (not in any specific chronology/order

SRR, Armstrong, Joe Louis, Ali, Duran, SR Leonard, Hagler, Barney Ross, Greb, Gene Tunney, Pep, Benny Leonard, Joe Gans, Langford, Dempsey, Ezzard Charles, Jack Johnson, Pernell Whitaker....

So Basically to answer your question---NO WAY!

 

Pac started at 108. Cotto was 145.

 

Top 30.

 

Not yet. PFB or Mosley win is maybe around 12 then.
