Just joking above, that donkey Tarver wouldnt crack a 300 list but if Pac beats Floyd he does make my top 10 list, no doubt.
He will be after one more big win (Mosley or PBF) or two lesser (Cotto, Marquez, Bradley, Diaz, Valero)
Asero, your really hot & cold as a poster I must say.... your in ****in antartica just now mate. If Pacquiao Kos a 35/36 yr old JMM, he is better than Duran ? That is some serious ******ed bull**** right there :-(
Well, I think Pac looks absolute peak at these higher weights & certainly has carried all his attributes up with him, its gonna take a special fighter to even run him close let alone beat him IMO so if Floyd can beat Pac, he is definitely top 15-20... if he beats him clearly or KOs him, he could be argued top 10. Since there IS a natural size difference between FMJ & Pac, Pac automatically gets top 10 for a Mayweather win in my book tho. :good
Just to play the devils advocate, why cant Pac be on par or even overtake Duran in terms of greatness? Let me see, Durans best wins: 103-16-0 Buchanan Esteban de Jesus*2 Davey Moore SRL Cuevas Barkley Pac: 49-3-2 MAB*2 Morales*2 ODLH JMM Hatton Ledwaba Larios Sasakul Pac gets ripped for loosing some fights not entered his prime yet, Duran lost a lot of fights in his prime and past his prime. Is his odds defying win over Barkley greater than Pac's over Hatton's? Both moved up a lot of weight to beat the so called bigger man. Are his wins over Jesus, Moore & Buchanan just that much better than MAB, JMM & Morales? Pac lost to Morales, Duran also lost to Jesus first time...lost clearly to Duran, was KTFO by Hearns and although slightly past it, still lost to guys like Laing & Benitez. Granted their very good fighters and Im not even holding the Hagler fight against him. One thing that stands out about Duran mostly is his win over SRL...he lost to him too. I guess if Pac beats Floyd, he would have a win of simmilar standing.
Why is Cotto less of a win than Mosely when you consider Cotto beat SSM fair & square & Cotto is in his prime yrs & Mosely is several yrs past his own prime ? :huh They should at least be even.
Hopkins is a good fighter but you overrate him a little, he has been surpassed by Pac & Mayweather IMO... Im not even sure Hopkins should be above Morales or Barrera who were 2 excellent fighters in their prime aswell as 3 weight champions & all in much tougher divisions than Hopkins.
1] Sugar Ray Robinson 2] Henry Armstrong 3] Langford 4] Greb 5] Duran 6] B.Leonard 7] Wilde 8] Ali 9] Louis 10] Pep 11] Charles 12] Fitzsimmons 13] Gans 14] R.Leonard 15] Hagler 16] Walker 17] Moore 18] Jofre 19] Tunney 20] Jack Johnson 21] Monzon 22] Whitaker 23] B.Ross 24] Saddler 25] Canzoneri 26] Salvador Sanchez 27] Babadoes Joe Walcott 28] Ketchel 29] I.Williams 30] Burley 31] Marciano 32] Jack Dempsey 33] Roy Jones Jnr 34] Holmes 35] Dixon 36] Cesar Charvez 37] E.Griffith 38] Arguello 39] L.Lewis 40] Kid Gavilan 41] Hearns 42] Napoles 43] Packey McFarland 44] Freddie Welsh 45] Driscoll 46] C.Ortiz 47] Holyfield 48] Mayweather Jnr 49] Harada 50] Britton No Michael Spinks, Olivares or Hopkins on this list so Pacman still has some way to go. If Pacman can continue winning he will crack the top 50, if he beats good quality opposition during that time he could crack top 30 even top 20 at a push, but at the moment he is outside the top 50 ATG's. Floyd Mayweather has a better chance of cracking the top 20 or 30 than Pacman.
Not even close ... you base it on in the ring accomplishments ... he's not even top 50 ... because if you take a deep look into his resume ... none of the fighter in which he beat were at the top of their game when they fought him ... he's never faced a slick boxer ... he's racking up championships from fighters who didn't even deserve to be champions at the time. His most credible wins are against Marquez and Morales ... Barrera was done at the time ... DLH was done ... Hatton had been destroyed by Mayweather ... David Diaz was just holding the belt for him ... before Pac and After Pac David Diaz hasn't done anything worth talking about. all those other small fighters didn't have much clout they were just belt holders ... he's a great fighter, but to put him as high as top 20 is ridiculous ... I can name more than 20 fighters who have either fought and or accomplished more than him in the ring. he's not even top 20 over the last 20 yrs. if you include HW's he's not even top 100 Not in any particular order Lennox Lewis DLH Tito Trinidad Roy Jones Bernard Hopkins Floyd Mayweather Julio Cesar Chavez Joe Calzaghe Pernell Whitaker Wladimir Klitschko Mike Tyson Michael Spinks Sugar Ray Leonard Roberto Duran Willie Pep Ray Robinson Joe Louis Larry Holmes Thomas Hearns Marvin Hagler James Toney Evander Holyfield Henry Armstong Wilfred Benitez Roberto Duran Carlos Monzon Rocky Marciano Vinnie Pazienza Aaron Pryor Alexis Arguello the list goes on and on and on
Yet another classic from the worst list-maker on ESB! :happy Jimmy Wilde at number 7 - Ezzard Charles not in a p4p top 10 - atsch
