Some say 35 some say 20 some say 25 some are even going top 10. So were do you think he stand now as being the only man to win 7 titles at different weight. Were have you got Pac now
Top 10 easily, and with a few drinks, I'll tell you why he's in the top 5. Really, he's at least on level with all of the fab four, the best boxer below heavyweight in the past two decades.
Top 20. Not top 10, not yet at least for me. He could retire and be in the top 10 in a few years as historical perspective seems to be relative to time. But not top 10 for me.
ask this in a week or so... right now pac's great performance is to fresh in the mind. Need to get some perspective, although right now i'd say top 15 at least
I think that the 7 titles thing is a bit overrated. There is a lot more titles now than there was before and he didn't really beat the real champ in every weight class. I rate him very highly but more because of the impressive resume than because of the alphabet titles. top 15 at least.
Top 20 is fair, but to make a serious list you need a bit of time to sit down and think it out. I can barely name my top 5.
Yeah but if you look at it from the old weights it still means and how many old fighters do you know went from Flyweight Champ to Welterweight Champ. You know how many NONE. Look at it that way and you see what it means. And the fact that he may have just beat his count 6th count them 6th HOFer. Barrera Morales Marquez Dela Hoya Hatton Cotto
i have him around 10. if he beats mayweather in one last fight then he belongs top 5 or top 3. he is ridiculously good.
Outside the top 20....his 7 titles at 7 weights is overrated, since when did the WBO, at a catchweight count???? There are so many great fighters who fought stiffer comp. The belts are great but after 130 he fought tailor made competition. my top 20 1)Sugar Ray Robinson 2)Henry Armstrong 3)Harry Greb 4)Sam Langorde(from 135-heavyweight) 5)Ezzard Charles 6)Benny Leonard 7)Willie Pep 8)Roberto Duran 9)Sugar Ray Leonard 10)Muhammad Ali 11)Pernell Whitaker 12)Kid Gavilan 13)Joe Louis 14)Archie Moore 15)Sandy Saddler 16)Barney Ross 17)Jimmy McClarnin 18)Tony Canzoneri 19)Charlie Burley 20)Julio Cesar Chavez
