    I got him somewhere around 70-80 now. A win over Mayweather would be huge, but it might not be enough to catapult him that many spots unless it's an extremely impressive performance, or supremely dominant win. If he barely scraped by I think I would put him in the 60-70 range, if he dominates I'd probably put him somewhere between 49-55.

    I've got him in the sixties right now, if I remember my list correctly. I'd move him up several spots for sure, but I don't know if I'd have him that high...That's pretty damn high, considering the unbelievable careers that have gone by.

    yes but PBF would lose alot of credibility if he gets his ass kicked by an old man.

    If he did that i might put him in the top 20. ALthough Pac is the pfp guy right know i think a win over PBF would be more impressive since Pac is physically a lot smaller than Shane.

    I can't see a Floyd win shooting him up *no pun* 40+ spots on my list.

    IF the same Shane shows up that fought Margo, i dont think so. If Shane loses to the type that showed up against Cotto and Mayorga i would agree with you.

    Yes. I really think we'd see how NOT a welterweight Pac is if he fights Mosley. He's a great fighter, fighting past his weight class as a welter. His whole campaign at WW, title or not, is on thin ice. I think Mosley would knock Pacquiao out because Pac trades without coercion. I agree PBF would be more impressive because he's not playing Shane's game and most likely doesn't have to. I don't think he will have to and I don't think Shane wins. But I'd love it if he did.
