    Both Pac and Mayweather Jr played the " Get every advantage possible " card during the mid to latter stages of their career thus, neither deserve to be in anyone's top 30, much less top ten.

    I know lol. That was just a short list. Also, would you favour a Green Gavalin, Gans or Ross?

    Besides Jimmy Wilde, I'm sure we could find many other flyweights throughout history, who would beat a 19-20 year old Pacquiao… but what has that got to do with his all-time standing?
