    I am a Pac fan and I don't think he's the greatest of all time.

    I do believe he's top twenty five though.

    Alltime ?

    On the basis of two bouts (Marg and Clottey), I couldn't rank him at all.

    Right now, he's either the best or second best WW.

    And he's clearly #1 p4p.

    If Pacquiao is the GOAT, does that put Marquez at #1(b) seeing that Pacquiao has never clearly defeated him? :huh

    Why not have JMM come to 147 like he did for Floyd ? Manny fought him at his best most comfortable weight and JMM still could not get the best of Manny.

    Manny only got better and more confident. JMM not so much.

    Pac is a top 25 lock right now.

    If you have him in your top 10 all time, at welter or otherwise, I feel bad. I think he could be considered a top 10 FW maybe.

    Don't forget he has only been popular in the states mainstream wise for 2-3 years. He is completely on PAR and considering the short time and his huge Asian following he will be the most popular athlete in history in the coming years.

    Pac beat the man twice.

    But leaving that aside, your logic is faulty.

    Would Ken Norton be 1(b) alltime HW ?
