If Pac beats Hatton and Mayweather Jr. in 2009 is he a top 25 ATG?

    He's already top 25 ATG to me, if he beats those guys then he jumps way more.

    Manny is one step away from being the new version of Henry Armstrong.

    He defeats the two of them and he is at least top ten.

    He is already top 30-35. If he beat Hatton alone he moves into the top 25. Mayweather would move him into the top 20. Perhaps even top 15

    If he were to beat PBF I would probably have him in my top 15 atg list, I need to take a look at it, but What he is doing is crazy. This guy started at 106 lbs, this really is a present day Henry Armstrong ... Roach also shows is quality as a trainer , he really did call it and set up a beautiful gameplan.

    If Pacman beats PBF , Hatton and continues to defend his titles ... I would put him top 10, we are witnessing true greatness, and we all should be very happy that we can watch a legend at work.

    Top 10 ATG. I've been blessed to witness Michael Schumacher and Michael Jordan dominate their respective sports and now we have the chance to experience a legend-in-the-making in Pacquiao.

    Pac is Top 30 right now. Hes the eternal fighter, impossible to doubt against anybody.
    Hatton is a more realistic fight for Pac, if he beats him..he'll join the likes of Armstrong and Duran.

    Merchant summed it up best, not only does Manny win..he excites us in the process..A true living legend

    Dude, is this ****ing serious? If he beats those two he's the GOAT. If you don't think so I guess you'd need to see him beat Vitali (but only if he KO's him!) or you don't think it's possible for any modern fighter to gain the recognition of nostalgic old time fighters

    I don't give much for the ODLH win. He is just outside top 100 ATG in my book.

    If he beats Hatton he will move just inside top 100.

    If he beats Floyd he moves into top 25 - as this would be a fight where the truth will come out. Either Pac is or is not the truth. If he is - he will reap tremendous benefits.
