Pac was and still is miles ahead in the ATG rankings Mayweather getting this "win" means nothing Pac was very declined anyhow
Mayweather is looming near the 20 spot now. Probably 21, but I haven't really looked into it if i'm honest. Weirdly, I'd have Pacquioa a little higher now than when I last did a detailed list a couple of years back...probably about ten spots behind.
i think the tainted win actually put floyd a lot lower than he already is than pac. not to mention that he ran for 12 rds against a midget. a fight with vada on and with international judges would prolly get him at least equal to pac. but then again, pac would stop him in that scenario. so a tainted win is better for floyd's ego even if he gets lower in the ranking. a win against pac in 2009-10 with no bull**** blood draining, would prolly bolt him to atg rankings. but then again he would get demolished by pac.
Still 25ish for Floyd, Manny 27ish. Pac moves a notch down since I thought it would be much more competitive. I'm not bumping Manny down too much for losing to Floyd. I would not disagree with both of them being higher. I feel they're in the wrong era. And you can only be judged by who you fought.
Ask again a few years after he retires. Boxing 'pundits' love to sound smart by bringing up history time and time again.
After last night, he's way up there for me. You can't fault him for the era he was born into. The one where fighters fight twice a year at most. His resume (yes, it's pretty stacked), longevity and most importantly skills and never being beaten have to rank him way up there.
cant blame a guy who knows who to fight and when to fight. floyd could prolly the only atg who regressed after a win. well, it was a tainted victory. no surprise there.
I haven't actually thought how high they rank, but I know that Mayweather should easily be ranked higher than Pacquiao.
Mayweather's resume (Pac, JMM, Mosley, Cotto, DLH, JLC, DC, etc.), longevity in the P4P Top10 (1998-2015), weight class jumping (130-154) and ATG skills make him a member of the Top10.
I am not sure if much changed after last night. Both definitely top 100, and probably both safely top 50.
