    He's in the top 20 by the vast majority of the boxing world. But if he did dominate Floyd he'd be top 10. Beating Floyd wouldn't see Manny jumping more than 20 spots on the ATG list. 10 maybe.

    I think top 10, personally id like to think that this fight will only enhance either of them just a little and everything else they have achieved in the sport is plenty to elevate them to the correct positions.

    Very different styles and different attributes but quite similar achievments from where they started their pro careers to where they are fighting at now. Id like to think where ever they are in the all time list theyd be pretty close together, this fight could decide who ends up above the other in that list.

    So i went top 10 which is far from a critizm, i could never knock Ali off top spot in my list.

    WOW! I respectfully disagree.....PAC is fighting the best fighters of HIS era...but the level of comp in the era Leonard fought, with guys like Hearns, Hagler and Duran outweigh any fighter on PAC's resume. It was an incredible time for boxing and one of the best era's boxing has ever seen.

    The fact that PAC is moving up in weight adds to legacy b/c it's history, but boxing has seen better days as a whole. The lower weight classes in boxing right now are tremendous and it's keeping boxing alive. But I can't see how Manny is top 5 beating DLH, Hatton, Cotto, MAB, EM, JMM, Diaz, ect... Even if he beats Marg and Floyd he's not gonna crack the top 5 ATG.

    Yeah thats what Manny says now but quite honestly when he only makes another 10 million for this Margo fight he'll be saying otherwise. Freddy drives a Mercedes,spends 100 dollars on a hair cut every week and has a house out in Hollywood Hills(not to mention the hookers). Micheal Koncs wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for Manny. Ariza wouldn't have a job. Bob has no one else who can earn as much as Pacquiao in all of his Top Rank stable. The fact of the matter is Manny is all these peoples meal ticket and this is while also being signed to GBP as well. My point is they will push the highly gullible Manny to fight Floyd. Manny only has a couple fights left. Bob's in house options are coming to an end. He's all out minus a rematch with Cotto for the 154 title. But don't be worried. People will get to see the real Manny and what he truly fights for in due time(he already is showing his love for money fighting a man who doesn't deserve to be in a ring again). Floyd knows he ****ed up and his actions are precursors to it. Right now I'm sure that urge is building daily and the fight with Manny is looking like a haven right now compared to his personal life.

    Margo and Cotto ain't great boxers. They wont beat anyone as good as they have done before their shattering defeats. Sure they will get future wins. But against B class fighters. It's all down hill from here.

    I guess we need to spell it out for you - this is a hypothetical discussion. Second, Cotto can't beat anyone better than Margo? Pretty sure he beat SSM and we all know how superior SSM is to Margo.

    Again, you are just being disingenuous. You are just pressing your agenda. What ever that is.

    He'd just creep into top 20 at best.

    A competitive victory over Floyd would help his standing more than a beatdown.

    Did you say "yup" to the accusation that you hate Pac? I can understand if you think that Pac is scared of Marquez. I mean, I don't think he is scared but we can never tell, really.
