Cesar Chavez or Pacquiao? who would you rank higher?

Dependent on Pacquiao's next few fights for me, personally.

 

Chavez ranks higher. However, it is not inconceivable that Pacquiao could overtake him before the end of his career. Wins over Hatton and Mayweather would certainly take him above JCC in my eyes. If Mayweather never comes back, I don't know if Pac could close the gap. Would a win over Hatton and a decisive win over Marquez do it?? I don't know. I think so.

 

As of now I have Chavez higher on account of he was more dominant and thorough in his cleaning out of weight classes. However, Pacquiao's career is still unfolding and that view could easily change depending on what comes of his career.

As of now though, I have Arguello over both of them.

 

I agree that Arguello should be above both.

 

Like many, as of right now I'd have Chavez higher, but there's a chance that Pac could overtake him by the end of Manny's career. Manny will need to kick things into overdrive even more than he is now and close his career with some big wins, but it's certainly possible, and given the way he's been performing in the past few years I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled it off.

 

Chavez by a fair margin.

 

Just as an aside, i wonder if there would be all the cocksucking on the general forum if it had been Marquez(who pac has proven to be bout on par with)who had moved up and beat the shell of Oscar.

I think a win against Hatton would be very good for Pac, but tend to think it would do more to solidify my current opinion on hAtton as one of the least talented BRitish world champions(real champ not WBO)there has been.Hatton is a decent enough, solid world class 140 fighter who happens to be the best around in the division just now, not imo someone that will catapult anyone miles up the all-time scale.Even if the fighter who beats him is naturally two weight classes or so, smaller.

 

Pacquiao definitely does NOT rate above Arguello, nor Chavez at this point. He still has a fair way to go before getting there, though it's not implausible I guess.

 

Chavez.

 

Chavez is slightly above the best Asian fighter ever..... Pancho Villa.

 

I'd rank a good 5 or so Asians above Villa.

 

But surely not Paciquao?

 

Is this a serious question?

Julio Cesar Chavez, even if I don't think he was the greatest Mexican of all time. Sanchez and Arguello rank above, in my opinion.

 

That gringo Alexis Arguello?
