Let me guess why :think... mmmmm..... The placing of ragged ass Manny ? No need to confirm I guessed right
I agree with this, I`ll have more respect for the loser if they fight than I will have for both combined if they dont fight.
Skills, ability & versatility rank highly, thats why Pac is at the bottom because he is looking good vs slower come-forward fighters as of late but that **** aint enough to catapult him over those other guys on the list who have shown me much better variety & skill vs different styles than Pacquiao has. IMO.
Do you really think that Mayweather has done enough to be rated above Jones and Pacquiao?? Seriously he may be a very talented fighter but his resume is overrated. Leonard also crafted his career around brilliant management, nobody in their right mind feels he beats Hagler prime for prime. He never gave Hearns a close to immediate rematch despite there being huge demand and managed to somehow get the draw when he did grant one. The Hagler victory is also massively overrated, he managed to get everything in his favour and still lost from my point of view. Despite that you can't knock his record or deny his greatness when you watch him fight so he is a worthy number two.
Fair enough, but do you also factor in the fact that he's climbing up and beating guys who we all thought he had no business being in the ring with? IMO one also has to take into account that his climb up the ranks natually makes these bigger guys look much slower. These fighters would look rather silly trying to pitter-pat a much smaller person so perhaps their tendency IS to come forward and try to crush the midget. Answer me this....just for the hell of it. I know it'll probably make you cringe BUT say Pac goes on to beat PBF, what will your ranking look like then?
50 Cent fought as an amateur. 50 cent > Pac. Jay-Z talks about fighting people in some of his songs. JayZ > Pac. lol I'm just messing with you
Exactly all these guys on the list have faced more different styles than Pac has. Pac has faced guys who he holds advantages against all the time. Not to mention the guys on the list were more skilled as well.
You too Pimp....just for the **** of it. What would your ranking look like "if" by some damn miracle...Pac beats PBF. I'm just curious.
I already have Pac in the top 20 and I don't think a win over Floyd puts Pac in the top 10. Only if he really destroys him like he did Barrera.
If Pac manages to beat PBF a guy who actually holds an styles advantage over him and a guy with handspeed and defense then I would move him up to 4 or 5 because he would have shown grreat adaptabilty to overcome someone who should have given him fits.
