    pac will have to get a lineal championship at 130 and 135 to crack the top 20-25 atg list. a lineal at 130 together with his previous ones at 112 and 126 will be enough to get him comfortably within the top 50.

    No, learn to read. He said Pac is not an ATG, I said I think he already is....then I said for B-Hop to be TOP 10 atg he would need to beat....etc, etc...

    reading comprehension 101

    Pac is already an ATG. One evidence is the current Sept 07 issue of Ring Magazine where they have a Feature titled "Pacman Against ATGs". It happens Here also in this forum,we always compare & Match Pac against ATGs. We match Pac against ATGs because he is Percieve to be an ATG. Barrera & Morales are on the way for all time greatness and Pac just dominated them. I see Pac dominating Barrera & JMM in their coming Rematch. After that I see Pac takes on Guzman/Soto Winner Then move to Lightweight for Diaz/ Casa. Just enough to take top 20 ATGs maybe top 10 if he keeps fighting & winning.

    No fighter today could crack the top 10 with just 3 more fights. Floyd (Hatton, Cotto, Mosley) and B-Hop (Wright, Calzaghe, then beat a top Crusier) could get into the top 25, maybe even crack the top 20, but no way top 10. Every fighter in the top 10 has such a deep resmue I would be hard for any modern fighter to get there, but it is possible.

    The only fighter right now that can move into the top 10 of all time within three fights is Holyfield. The rest have virtually no chance.

    Yeah, if Holyfield managed to clean up the current heavyweight division he could be there. That's a huge IF though.

    Pac and many of these other small guys get into HOF and ATG under the radar. Most people don't really give a rats ass about what goes on below 135 (for many it is 147 even), so the mexicans and now pilipinoes virtually can hype their fighters and make a case for why this and this "great" fighter has just beaten these 5 other "great" fighters and therefore should be in HOF or ATG. Once they succeed the following just have to beat that guy an dsuddenly they too are up there and so on..

    And most people don't care enough to argue with them.

    Personally I am not convinced.

    WTF?
    Holyfield is already an ATG.
    One of the greatest cruiserweights and best Heavyweights

    I don't think you can call Pac under the Radar ATGs. He is a PPV fighter, Can Fill Arenas all the time, #2 P4p, Hailed as the most exciting Fighter today, In the Front Page of Ring Magazine multiple times. Pac surpasses Sanchez, Gomez, & Hamed in Popularity during their era. Pac Now in in Arguello Level of popularity & Nearing Duran's in his era. Pac just need to beat up English speaking thrash talker(PBF) to be in Duran's Level of Popularity.

    If you disregard how he got there and only look at the titles then Mayweather's resume looks stunning. So for a superficial boxrec oppinion, Mayweather would be highly thought of.
