    He isnt an ATG in any particular class, its his weight jumping & ability to carry his attributes up the weights that have made him an ATG overall.

    he bounced around a lot, and moved through a lot of divisions, so to be fair, just look at him as a whole....obvious ATG

    Hey man you really don't know what you are talking about. How am I a troll? Where does it say that Manny Pacquiao sucks or PBF is better or some ****? Im just trying to have a friendly debate about boxing.

    I remember I made a poll for this a long time ago asking which weight will be most associated to Pac, I'll try to find it. I think the highest votes went to the "weight jumping option" with 122 coming it at second. I guess I agree with the results, his most dominant streak was at 122, he stayed there for a while before moving up to 126.

    He's an ATG across all these weight classes that he has been elite it. He's one of those guys that you can drop him in any weight class from 122-147 and pit him in against previous ATG's even at their best weights.

    Certain matchups he won't fair well in, but others he can hold his own easily and win.

    Pac vs Gomez at 122, Pac vs Sanchez at 126, Pac vs Arguello at 130, PAc vs Chavez at 135, Pac vs Pryor at 140, Pac vs Emile Griffith at 147.

    ok, I my memory was totally wrong, the 2nd highest in terms of voting was 130 lbs with his 8 fights (including all Morales fights and 1 Marquez fight). I completely forgot he had 8 fights there... still I think his 122 reign isn't getting much love.

    Anyway, here's the the thread with the poll:
