    In my opinion no to many catchweight fights struggle at times with men his own size do you agree.

    He's not in mine but he is close. He will by the time he retires though.

    No. No current fighter is in the top 25.

    He is in there like swim wear. 2 catch weight fights and 8 division titles..... The kids made history and has dominated for years against the best. He's a lock but everyone's got an opinion.

    He's certainly the closest to breaking the top 25, but he isn't quite there. Top 35-40.

    I really like Manny those two fights with Marquez his lost to Morales and just to many catchweights fights just subtracts him, he didn't fight Valero at 130, didn't fight Corrales at 135 or Freitas, or Casamayor, or Castillo.

    Its impossible to crack these lists filled with oldtimer that fought 200 times, you cant surpass a guy with 300 fights, especially since there is no footage of some and they become invincible myths.
    For example khan is 24 and has how many fights? about 26? while pep was 24 and had about 120 fights already.
    Its not possible to surpass them, its also impossible for a boxer to become the goat.
    most positions in the top 10 are locked.
    I have great respect for Ali and Duran to actually get that high up those lists.

    He certainly deserves to be ranked higher than Money though. Definitely.

    Doesn't matter that he didn't fight Edwin. Valero wasn't on the radar during Pac's time at 130.... He was simply a prospect with a lot of hype based on his KO ratio which remained perfect. His loss to Erik was avenged twice over and Pac merely stopped through 135. He only had a single fight and then moved up. Corrales, fads and castillo weren't anything compared to DLH, cotto, marg, MAB, JMm and EM. Freitas shouldn't.even be mentioned.
