    While the PacMan express is rolling full steam allow me, a self admitted "*******, PacHugger, etc;" to introduce a WET DREAM scenario.

    Let's just say (this COULD happen, though not likely)...

    1. Pacquiao rematches JMM and KOs or decisions him clearly.
    2. Pacquiao stops Ricky Hatton on cuts
    3. Pacquiao unretires Floyd Mayweather and KOs him
    4. Pacquiao retires immediately after 1-3

    WHERE do you place him on the all time p4p list???

    I know it's a big IF, but what do you guys think?

    I can't even fathom how far he'd move up if that happened. Floyd's already securely a top 100 ATG and the much bigger fighter, Hatton's a borderline HOF fighter at a higher weight, and Marquez would get him props for me because he's facing the worst possible style again just to prove a point.

    He's already, as far as I'm concerned, in there with Hoya and Trinidad. Let's see what happens from here. If he cements a win against Hatton it will be sweet. If he keeps going we might be seeing a goat in our time and age. I know many people will think I'm crazy for saying this but I'm very certain the real "little tyson" is gonna surprise us a bit more. If he knocked out Hatton and beat Marquez a third time where would this put him? Stratosphere, imo.

    I didn't read the part about Mayweather. I can't see Pacman beating him. It would take a big guy like Cotto to do that, if Cotto could do that. A revamped Hoya had a good chance imo, though people think he's aged considerably (I never thought his age was this drastic, I thought Roach was an idiot).

    Pacquiao has said he would go to 147 to face DLH. I think Mayweather is a big enough attraction to draw him to that weight too. But it would be a massacre. This would be like fighting JMM with great defense and more power.

    Not only that I think Floyds speed at 147 will negate Pacs advantage as well. This was actually nice scenarios until it got to #3. And honestly, PAc dont need Floyd and vice versa..we're stretching it here a bit. apples and oranges

    That's the big issue. Mayweather would be just as fast and taller with a reach advantage to go with some of the best counter punching skills ever. It's not a fair fight. And that's not to diminish Pacquiao, but it's wrong stylistically and amplified by size. Hatton couldn't move Mayweather backwards, and guys like Castillo and Judah couldn't hurt him.

    I would rather see Pacquiao stay at 135 and see what he can do.

    I think that JMM is ever slightly a better counterpuncher than Floyd but Floyd would be so much harder to hit and a has better skillset as well. Notice that Pac wasnt using that left quite abit Saturday night..Diaz if you observe were rolling with those punches when it came in straight (best thing he did in the fight) ..Its the right he couldnt avoid. We all know Floyd and rolling with the punches..hes the best

    Only scenario I can see is if (a big if) Pac for some reason gets comfy with this weight and surprisingly wipes out the division.And gets better and (contrary to our belief that hes on a downward trend) performs at his peak the next two years and floyd comes out of retirement at 33-34..I can see an upset..alot of stars have to align for Pac to pull a miracle..yes it would still be a miracle
