    being top 20 is what I think he will end up in, maybe 15.
    Which is incredible comsidering how many atg's there are troughout boxing history.
    There is no shame at all in being top 20/25 though, for a modern day fighting its about the highest you realistically can get.

    alot of old timers get overrated, like LaMotta is in top 50 on most ATG, thats based on 1 fight, fighters like calzaghe should be higher than LaMotta but he barely gets into top 100

    No he's not, not on most people's lists anyway. Pac would probably end up top 15, top 10. He'd have beaten 3 ATGs still at their best from 126-147, not including Morales, and a stack of HoF level guys.

    Thats true, the more time passes the higher guys usually get rated, I have seen this happen with lennox,calzaghe and de la hoya.
    It will happen with pac,floyd,hopkins as well.
    Eventually a lot of the negative stuff will be forgotten and the skills and accomplishments will stick out more and future great fighters will be laughed away as now where near the atg's of the early century.:yep

    Calzaghe's resume is ****(compared to other ATG) and will always remain that way, the only reason he is rated is because H2H at 168 only RJJ beats him in a close competetive fight.

    Muhammad Ali in 1977 was rated as the 7th greatest heavyweight of All time by Ring Magazine - Now he's 1st on Most

    Well there are a couple of glaring errors. For one De Jesus is better than anyone on Pac's list, but don't take my word for it, watch him fight. Secondly Duran was 76-1 when he left the lightweight division, what's Pac's record now??

    Thirdly, Duran almost beat Hagler an ATG middleweight and did beat Barkley when he was 37 years old, and Pac is saying that Margarito was too big for him.

    Imagine if he had to fight either of those two. As for the Cotto win, do you really think that's more impressive than Duran's win over Moore? cause I watched them both and I don't. Duran's fight against Moore was an absolute infighting clinic, as was his fight against Barkley.

    Floyd and Manny dont make the top 50 ATG's so im not sure either beating each other would put them any higher.
