If Pacquiao wins tonight, where will you rank him?

Wait, what? Pacquiao is fighting for a title? Like a real title, not some weird interim regular IBA kind of thing?

 

Yes, Pacquiao will be attempting to win the WBC welterweight world title against Barrios.

Regarding the topic question, I think Pacquiao will remain one of the greatest boxers of all time, win or lose tonight.

 

I think there is no reason why Pacquiao winning shouldn't boost him at least slightly considering his age also.

 

I’m quite literally praying for him, I don’t pray often, I don’t believe it but if there is a above 0% chance it helps I’m doing it, Pacs a godly man he’d appreciate it. I want Pac-Man to win so badly and if he winds up on some insane PED fueled comeback for even one more bout I will travel to the beautiful US of A and see his very next fight. COME ON MANNY!

 

This might be the greatest win of all time if it happens.

Pacquiao is retired for 4 years on a loss. He is a natural bantamweight. Him coming back at 46 and beating the WBC champ at welterweight is the type of stuff you see in movies. Unfortunately he'll get his ass kicked and I can only hope he walks out of there alive.

 

Lol what. Mario Barrios is in no way Pacquiao's best win - Pacquiao could be 376 and it wouldn't be his best win - and a natural bantamweight? Lmao, he didn't even fight at Bantam and was clearly huge at 122, 126, and 130. Pacquiao is a natural 135er at the lowest.

 

Win lose or draw, Pac's status has already been solidified. He is truly a generational fighter but a win today would just be another notch in an exceptional career.

Today should be a great day of boxing with Pac fighting and of course, Uysk.

 

GOAT.

 

Behind Mayweather.

 

How has he got a title shot?
I don't think he's fought for a few years?

Edit.
No,he hasn't fought since 2021 and that was a loss.
This is like sending Ali out against Holme's
or Larry against Tyson.
A mismatch imo

 

He's already #19 on my all time p4p list and I doubt a win tonight would bump him any higher.

I suspect the question will prove irrelevant, whilst Barrios is nothing special, I doubt Pacquiao will win.

 

What’s your top 30 P4P look like? Top 20 if you don’t have 30… I feel like Manny doesn’t typically get that high on some folks lists, like to see who you’re putting him beside.

 

I'm not home to consult my notes, i'm certain on 1-20, may have misremembered 21-30, but it wont be far off:

1. SRR
2. Greb
3. Langford
4. Armstrong
5. Charles
6. Fitzsimmons
7. Duran
8. B. Leonard
9. Louis
10. Ali
11. Pep
12. Walker
13. Gans
14. McFarland
15. Ross
16. Wilde
17. SRL
18. Mayweather
19. Pacquiao
20. McGovern
21. Moore
22. Tunney
23. Ryan
24. Jofre
25. Monzon
26. Spinks
27. RJJ
28. Burley
29. Canzernori
30. BJW

Can't quite remember whether I've misremembered and whether one or more of Conn, Hagler, Griffiths, Napoles and/Bivins make, or are just outside, my 30.

 

Absolutelydiddilyscrumptiously horrendous take, Pacquiao could fight limbless whilst suffering the effects of a stroke and it wouldn't be the greatest win by atleast 50 light years
