I asked this question after the Diaz fight and before the Oscar fight. At the time I was laughed at. Now I'm two thirds of the way towards laughing back at everyone else. IF Manny Pacquiao could SOMEHOW manage to beat Oscar DeLaHoya, Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather, adding those names to a list that already includes names like Morales, Barerra and Marquez (among others), would you consider Manny Pacquiao one of the Top 5 fighters in the history of the sport? IF Pac beats Floyd where do you rank him all time... Top 5 Top 10 Top 20 Outside the Top 20
Who gives a ****? This question is ****en weak & very redundant here on ESB. Who cares where a fighter stands in history, just enjoy. there is no definite answer. If he is your fav then he is your #1. If you don't rank him, then don't, why do people care what others think?
Well he has already defeated Hatton and Dela Hoya. So he should be in the Top 20 now. If he beats Gayweather he could be easily in the Top 10 or Top 5.
i made a thread about this in november i asked if pac beats hoya hatton and then floyd would he place himself in the top 5 p4p of all time and the majority people said yes but theres no way he can do it
Top 5 if he beats PBF, Cotto and Mosely. Although Sugar Shane isn't prime anymore he's still a very dangerous fighter. I think Pac can beat all of them but forget about catch weights, so there's no excuses.I watched the postfight press conference and Mosley challenged Pac at 147 and Arum interrupted and Pac didn't get a chance to answer.
