    Pac cannot beat any any top fighter at middleweight. Way too much weight for a 5'7.

    I agree. If he beats Margo, Floyd and the top guy at 140 a year from now, he would be pretty much a lock for top 10.

    If he beat a full MW then :think I'd say top 2 if not 1st.

    Its all moot at this point though

    He couldn't get Numero Uno but could get Top 3 by cleaning up the 140 and 147 division. He'd need beat to the wannabes Bradley, Alexander, and Khan and then that freakishly tall giraffe PWill.

    When there's no one left to dispute him, then maybe he gets the top 3.

    Pac won't be fighting anyone for the MW title unless Martinez beats Paul and offers a 155 to Manny the way he did Angulo. Then people will cry about how Pac shouldn't have accepted a catchweight the Lineal MW offered him.

    But no. Pac won't be fighting MW and I doubt he will have that good of a claim to best of all time. Definitely top 25-30 as others have mentioned, definitely up there in Welters, a lock for best Asian.

    He's already almost inarguably top 30. Are you suggesting winning an 8th belt - paper or not - beating Floyd Mayweather Jr (another ATG) and then winning a 9th belt and 5th lineal title wouldn't move him up at all?

    One thing *******s have learned over the years is never to say "Manny can't". There are numerous threads here in ESB with posters saying the exact same things, but were eventually proven wrong.

    Pac may lose to Margo, he may lose to Money, he may lose to Williams/Martinez. But winning all three bouts is never beyond the realm of what is possible when it comes to Pac.

    Greatest ever? No. It would obviously move him up in the rankings and I guess it's not inconceivable he could crack the top 10. He's already achieved legitimate greatness though, regardless of anyones subjective placing of him, that should be enough.

    Yea i mean its not like his title quests are tainted. Let see he fought Cotto for the WW title at 145. Margarito for the LMW tittle at 150 and if he fought Martinez or Williams for the MW tittle it would be at 154.5

    And no no one ever beats SRR. Maybe with 50 more fights he can.

    Pac is already a top 25 fighter, and should be a lock already in the 20-10 spot in my own opinion. He will arguably the NO1 ATG even if he just beats Mayweather.

    Ray Robinson & Henry Armstrong are P4P Numbers 1 & 2, respectively, in history! Those position's are bolted, locked down, in my opinion.

    If Pacquiao beats Margarito, Mayweather, then the winner of Martinez-Williams, I would place him top-5 NO DOUBT!

    If he were to win all three, then I he would be the greatest live fighter I've ever seen!

    I don't think Pac is as skilled as SRR. I don't see how this could happen.

    I would have agreed wit u if pac beat Cotto and the welter limit not that bs catchweight and if he would have fought Oscar at 154 not 147 and be fighting Margo at 154 not 150 for the light middleweight crown. All his recent titles are bs titles. Makin his apponents come into the fights at catchweights. He would probly try to get Martinez down to 147 and Williams down to 135 since Williams can make 147.... haha
