    Leonard
    Pep
    Walker
    Walcott

    Arguello
    Jones Jr
    Monzon
    Ali
    Saddler
    Moore
    Canzoneri
    McLarnin
    Hagler

    I can't see a good case at the moment for ranking him above these guys. Probably a few other's I've forgotten at first thought.

    I think I'd have him ahead of McLarnin, Hagler, Saddler, RJJ, Arguello and Tunney.

    It's all subjective though and, like I said, it doesn't really matter. Pacquiao is a great fighter who can be mentioned alongside anyone.

    Far from it. Great fighter but there are more than twelve, more than twenty and arguable even more than 30 fighters who did better things than him.

    Since the 1970's, can anyone rank any boxer above Pac?

    The only ones in contention are the top 25 ATG: Roberto Duran, Julio Cesar Chavez, George Foreman, and Muhammad Ali base on ESPN's 50 Greatest Boxers of All-Time.

    I won't touch pre-1970's boxers.

    I love how some people(must be *******s) say yes, and I bet that most of them don't know **** about the other ATGs.
     
  14. Not saying this is my list, but arguments can be made for:

    Oscar
    Whitaker
    Tyson
    Leonard
    Mayweather
    Hagler
    Roy Jones? (Maybe I'm reaching with this one)
    Lennox Lewis
    Holyfield
    Hearns


    I probably missed another 10 or 20
