    A prime Pac yes but, at the stage Pac was in his career, I'd say ND was better at the time Rigo beat him.

    Hatton and Alvarez are good fighters. They are, however, NOT ATGs or even HOF worthy. Don't get it twisted...

    There's no way Floyd is as great as Ali. Just count how many great wins Ali had ...

    Well Floyd is definitely not the greatest. Personally i don't even have him in my top 10 but based off his longevity as a P4P fighter and the 5 weight divisions he traversed throughout his career, putting him inside the top 20 is reasonable.

    As far as Ali goes, Floyd isn't really that far off with his rankings. I personally think Ali is somewhere around 4-6. No one can make me believe he should be ranked higher than guys like Ray Robinson, Armstrong, Greb, and even possibly someone like Duran and Pep as well. You can also make a strong case for a few other guys including Langford and Benny Leonard.

    If Ali never lost those 3 years of his absolute prime, than who knows how much more he could've accomplished. I personally think he would've been able to beat Frazier in their first fight had it happened maybe a year or so earlier (around 1969) with a more prime version of Ali fighting him.

    But whenever anyone calls him the greatest ever, I wonder if they saw footage of Sugar Ray Robinson. That guy is the greatest ever and someone Ali openly admitted on several occasions to being the greatest of all time.

    He was the ring no 3 p4p i believe at the time.rigo had 10 fights or so.
    Whatever your opinion on donaire,he was a monster in his division and to take that away from rigo is beyond harsh.
    And to say hes not avoided,is not harsh its plain stupidity
