    I personally dont know... i think the rankings for boxing suck because
    people always rank fighters from 100's of years ago who faught
    100-200 fights but honestly they probably couldnt compete in
    todays world .. technique and strength in athlete change
    so much over time those old school fighters for the most
    part probably couldnt compete but anyways.... im just going to
    go out on a limb and say... beat cotto, paul williams, & paqiuaio (spelling)

    that would probably boost him to top 3 all time..

    what do you think?

    Cotto Williams and a MW. Cotto and Williams make him top 10/15. If he were to beat Pavlik well then how could you argue with top 3.

    He won't get that much credit for Pac Man - but if he beats the top WW - don't see how he doesn't make it in the top 5 or 10 at least.

    beating Williams and Cotto would be enough to me to seal top 3 easily, no need to move up considering he came all the way from 130

    He´d need to at least either dominate for some time to come (beat Cotto, Williams, Margarito, Mosley etc.) or move up and win a belt at middleweight

    You know what I mean. :patsch

    The top Welterweights - meaning Cotto - Williams - Cintron - Margarito - Mosley.

    He beats at least two of them - with Cotto being one - it's a wrap for him.

    So then your top 3 would be:

    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Winky Wright
    3. Floyd Mayweather Jr

    :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Beat Cotto, Williams and one other...take a pick from Mosley, Cintron etc. No way does he have to step up to Middleweight, he started at ****ing Super Feather. Winning at light middle is incredible as it is.

    We are talking top 3 all time. Think of all the fighters he would be ahead of.

    So either the win at middle or clean up lightmiddle. Plus Cotto and Williams.

    beat cotto and other top WWs, stay active and dominate for 2 more years would put him up there with SRL

    What fighters? Honestly I think he is technically as good as anyone I have ever seen. Ability wise I already have him and RJJ in my top 3. Achievement wise they both drop outside it, but PBF has a better defence than Sugar Ray Robinson, I don't care what anyone says and how much waxing lyrical about the past fighters gains people kudos here I have stacks of old fights from back to Dempseys day forwards.

    Robinson is number 1 and was a brutal offensive fighter too, but who are the reel of other guys who are more gifted and achieved more than PBF?

    You can make good cases for Leanard, Ali if you want...who else have you watched 4 or 5 fights of and who has a record and ability that clearly puts hima head of PBF?
