    Asero 2 weeks ago you would called him a hater overlooking the timelessness of Manny...now he is the most credible boxing historian of all time?

    I guess he just forgot to add a "0".

    Seriously, Pac is awesome, he has a great career and achievement wise he is close to the best but he lacks the resume to be ranked up there. Put his resume into context, compare it with that of the other fighters in consideration, fire up your brain, use some common sense and you´ll see.

    I agree, but let's say he beats Mayweather and Martinez before retiring, where do you feel would be a credible ranking for him then? I don't think top 10 is out of the question at all.

    If he beats Mayweather and Martinez I think it'll be hard placing him outside the top ten.

    I don´t think he will beat either one. Both are favs for me, so if he beats them it would be huge. I´m very sure it won´t happen though. If Williams beats Martinez, I can see Pac beating Williams for the mw title. That would be huge too. Achievementwise he would be up there with Armstrong but his resume still lacks. Top15 I think would be fair.

    Top 3? Could he defeat a prime Roberto Duran. Ray Robinson or Ray Leonard? there are a few more in the Light. to Welter. divisions who would be favored over Pacquaio. He's a great fighter, but not top 3 IMO.
