If you consider Manny the GOAT, top 10, top 25, or whatever, get in here.

Manny Pacquiao is 8-12 P4P ATG

 

Lots of IF's just like your hero Floyd :yep

If Floyd were to fight SRR he'll beat him
If Floyd fights Pac it's gonna be a wide UD
If Floyd choose to KO his opponents he could, no doubt about it
If Floyd was fighting in the 60's 70's and 80's he will still dominate
If Floyd fight Sergio he will school him
If if if if if if if if if if if and more ifffffffffffffffffff :|:|:|

 

Listen just because Floyd or let's say someone else beat Manny doesn't make them top 10, 20, or 25 ATG. You have to look at their achievements too! Even if Floyd beats Manny, Manny Pacquiao will be still ranked higher than him because of his achievements.

 

Cant say I disagree with any of this... good post.

 

If Manny stops Shane without being in any kind of trouble he is etched forever as a top 10 lock GOAT at worst without the chance of that changing regardless what he does in the ring after that.

If he then goes on and fights JMM a 140 or 147 and wins convincingly and then beats a young guy like Ortiz he is the greatest of all time.

He does not need to even fight Floyd. Floyd is no where near the skill level he once was and being he is not a KO threat at WW and Floyd having to go 12 rounds with Manny having had huge trouble if only for a round or 2 vs Mosley and Judah there is no reason the best conditioned offensive fighter will have any problem putting floyd in a spot he has never been his entire career.

A fight vs Bradley or Ortiz is much intriguing because Manny will have then faced bigger, stronger and with one of them, younger champions.

 

Exactly. So true. Yet in 3 years at WW he fought one fighter who had more than 1 Welterweight fight lol. "IF" he was what his fans thought he would be doing it. Floyd fans have been saying that for years and Manny became the fighter they spoke of and now they can't even enjoy it because it is not Floyd.
