If he were to retire right now top 15-20 atg. Manny Pacquiao is one of the most exciting and acomplished boxers in the history of the sport. He has won tittles/championships in 5 diffrent weight divisions that puts him with some very good company. His stock is hurt by some bumps in the road. Losing to Eric Morales and strugling against Juan Manuel Marquez ofer 2 fights comes to mind. He has an oppetunity to move up when he fces Floyd Mayweather. A win over Mayweather would in my opinion put him in or very near the top 10.
He would have lost to all of those guys, he`s to open & best of this era will be decided on march 13th, that shits not set already.
Dam right, Im sure I laughed so hard tears came down my face..... & I was only halfway down the fkn page :|
Top 10, not 5, you have guys like SRR, Armstrong, Ali, Pep, Duran, Louis & Ray Leonard & thats just the men with decent video footage, most posters (not me tho) will have the greats with 0 or poor footage on their lists like Benny Leonard, Greb, Charles & Langford. Top 5 is pushing it IMHO.
Mid level ATG.. The catch weights and beating fighters coming off of knock out losses at higher weights. His best win is Cotto b/c he moved up and beat one of the best welters. The ODH fight is not cement. The Hatton fight.. is good. The other fights... you can nit pick b/c he lost to Morales the first time and beat him a second time after he was already dominated by Raheem. He fought David Diaz.. He is being severly overrated at this point. BUT the fact that he has a exciting style and brings the fight puts him in a class of those same guys from the past. And moving up in weights and improving as a fighter is impressive. But no god damn way is he the best fighter of this generation YET. If he beats an undefeated Mayweather he will catapult head and shoulders with the best of them.

If this is not some cockamamy going too far ******* spin. People say ODH was dead at the way like they say Marquez was slower in the Floyd fight. ODH was dead at the weight b/c we seen the ****ing fight and seen ODH looking drained and sluggish from the first round. He said he was dead. We believe him. You can tranny tuck and spin it all you want... but the fact that you are blinded by Mr Miyagi jr's balls is apparent. You are a ****ing *******. You cant hate on that which is imperfect...Pacqioua. He has been defeated decisively and he has been on the receiving end of more than one controversial decision. Morales retired after the Pacman fight... ODH retired after the pacman fight. Ricky Hatton has been talking retirement... Barrera retired after the Pacman fight... Majority of the big names on his resume were guys on the way out and past their best. That is fact and not ****ing fiction.
He has as many catchweight fights as fraud and he didnt come two pounds over the weight for his catcheweight fight like fraud did.
Sorry, not my article. You have me confused with Steve Lewis. Go complain to him. And, please, stop embarrassing yourself. Wrong again genius.

If he beats Mayweather then you can put his name in stone alongside Leonard, Duran and Hearns. At this moment top 20 ATG
