No ****, he actually fought a good lot of top elite fighters and was competitive in all or won, compared to Mayweather's much weaker resume and performance level at that. See a prime Hoya struggling with JLC?:yep

DLH's should be wins over Trinidad, Mosely 2 are better than anything Floyd's ever done. His win over Vargas is better than anything Floyd's done, his win over a prime Quartey is a better opponent than anybody Floyd faced and he cleaned up B levels much easier than Floyd did.

:huh This is why the more you try to sound smart, you just end up sounding like a fool. You really think DLH's win over Vargas is better then anything Mayweather's done? Are yo ****in serious with that? Vargas had looked like **** after the Tito fight, compared to how he looked in wins over Ike and Winky. It's like night and day really. Vargas being juiced up didn't erase those memories. He might have won some fights after the Tito beating, but he still looked bad in the process, even if they ended early. He looked lethargic and unsure of himself. Floyd's wins over Castillo were better then DLH's win over VArgas. So was his win over Chico IMHO especially how Mayweather demolished him.

Just looking at those fighters era. Only Pac has fought the best and at the same time Tops them all.

Oscar can't win the Big ones

PBF avoids the next best opponents.

Bhop was there but Didn't beat RJJ, Taylor and Calzaghe.

Calzaghe's undefeated but wasted a lot of years fighting no names. Just look at SRL-Hearns era, they fought each others when the were in their 20s. Beating 43 year old Bhop won't do it. He was a Champ for years and could have fought Bhop, RJJ and Tarver when these guys are on the top of P4P ratings.

Pac takes the best Flyweight at 19. Takes the best 122 titlest at 21-22 in 2 weeks notice, takes P4P top 5 MAB at 24. Takes EM at 26-28 yrs old. Now taking another wt class at age 29 and want to follow up another with Hatton at 140. Pac fought some easy opponents but not more than 2 consecutive fights. He did it only in in-between Big fights. And he is the busiest among those Great fighters.

Pac tops them all in ATGreatness. Because he fought Great fights against Great rivals and then beat them all.

Pac
DLH
PBF
Bhop
Calzaghe

Pac
PBF
BHOP

I agree with Pac at the top, but him and floyd are still active and it can change depending on how they do against each other and what they do for the rest of their careers.

No it wasn't, that 'can't win the big ones' criticism is just stupid. He beat a whole host of HOF fighters, and really he easily beat Trinidad and should have gotten the nod over Mosely.

If these fighters would to retire today, where would you rank them on the ATG list?

Oscar De La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquiao
Bernard Hopkins
Joe Calzaghe

It would probably take a lot of time to think about where they should be ranked respectively, but what do ya'll think?
