    Someone feel free to straighten me out here, but I fail to see how Pac isn't on par with Ray Leonard at this point. A lot of it probably has to do with my holding Hatton in higher regard than many of the folks here, and I'm not sure I'd rate Leonard as high as some, but I'm pretty sure that most of the arguments people are using against Pacquiao now are the same arguments you could make against Leonard. They should be in the same vicinity of each other. Leonard might deserve to be a bit higher because he did face a few more good fighters in their literal prime instead of just past their prime, but Pacquiao probably also has better second-tier victories than Leonard, and overcame a greater weight difference to do so.

    Guess what anyone who has Sweet Pea in their top 20 should just slide his boring ass out and put Pac in.

    While I agree Pac is not top 20 (yet), your crediblity/sanity concluded with Pazienza.

    ATG standings is always debatable . . . my personnal opinion yes.

    First ASIAN to capture 5 divisional titles (6 unofficially)
    First ASIAN to be #1 in P4P ranking
    Highest paid ASIAN fighter. :deal

    Not one prime fighter there. One of those got up and schooled him 2x. One of those beat him fairly easy too.

    Hatton is over-rated.

    Oh come on man . . . the best that the guy can do is get up from the canvas and survive the 12 rounds :D

    . . . but then . . . that's already an accomplishment. :good

    The one your saying who schooled him kept kissing the canvass and tried to go to Pac's country to cry for a rematch. Fairly easy? I believe that was a CLOSE UD. Are you watching the same bout?
