    Canzeroni came damn close...had he been fighting in the multi title era there is little doubt he would been able to achieve that.

    Gotta have that perspective asero..its not always black and white.

    :good Agreed its never been done and people it seems are forgetting about his earlier career. Bottom line No One Not one little guy has won a fly title and Welter. That would have sounded crazy a few years ago.

    But he still hasnt caughten up to Duran. But i will consider Placing him in the same elite league if he beats Mayweather especially if he kos him. I put Leonard higher than May but Duran won his first title at 135 not 112.

    That would be understandable except for a few things:

    1) Zarate proved his ability against opposition more or less on par with the guys Barrera beat. Not as often to be certain, but in a more dominant manner.

    2) If this were the case it wouldn't make much sense for him to have Greb in his top 5, seeing as there's no footage. Langford as well, though there are a few indistinct clips of him out there.

    3) I very much doubt he's even seen any footage of Angott, as there isn't a whole mess of it out there. In circumstances regarding fighters where plenty of footage is available to assess and compare, I think it's perfectly reasonable to judge their merits based mainly on what level you see them to be at ability-wise. On the flip side, when there isn't much footage of said fighter to judge conclusively, the records and reports are more or less what you have to go by. If he puts a lot more stock into rating fighters with footage as opposed to those without or with little, I ask again, why does he had Greb, Langford, and Leonard in his top 10?

    I blame Sasakul for this ******* method of thinking. If only he'd been a bit more disciplined down the stretch. But no, he had to coast and get caught by a big shot which spelt the end for him. Manny would then go on to lose almost immediately afterwards by one-sided KO before moving up 3 weight classes.

    He was no world beater at Flyweight, or even a very good fighter at all. He was getting schooled by a world class technician and landed a big shot. His limitations at the weight were exposed in that fight and directly afterwards. Unfortunately not before he gained the lineal title at the weight in the Sasakul fight, which has since hampered the views of many in regards to Pacquiao's class at every weight he's fought. A great accomplishment, as he did what he had to do, but it doesn't tell the full story.

    Exactly. There are countless Flys that would starch that Pac.
