    Top 30 if Pac retired today. Top 20 if he beats Floyd.

    I'd imagine yes but I'm not familiar with all the legends. I wasn't alive for those so I only know the impact they have now rather than the impact they had back then. All I know now is, people tend to overrate legends as though they're invincible. But Pacquiao is definitely a top ATG, I just can't put a number on it.

    There are so many boxers --- especially in the past that were so much better than PAC. Just imagine Pac vs Bummy Davis. I think Pac would have no head left.

    Rodney nailed it

    Pac hardly ever tested himself

    Too many catchweight fights. It cheapens the sport.

    I would put Pac somewhere around the top fifty mark. It's very impressive how he has remained an elite boxer as he moved up through so many weight classes.

    Yes without question. Manny is easily top 25 while Floyd would crack top 50.

    I have Floyd scratching at the door to the Hall of Fame, but nowhere close to being an ATG.
