    duran was close to doing it less weight divisions but about the same weight Chris Bird also did it, is not very common im just saying that some people think he's the only one to have done it and just like FLoyd his opponents at the higher weights have been carefully chosen. to me both Floyd and Pacquiao are even until they fight each other then the winner can go up a couple of spots

    Catchweight fights count. Many may not like it, but it is recognized and official.

    :deal

    A vacant title, at a catchweight bout, between two fighters unranked in the division is absolute horse manure.

    Like I said, not popular, but official. Sugar Ray Leonard won 2 weight division titles in ONE catchweight fight.

    Pacquiao. They're accomplishments really aren't all that comparable. There'd be a good 20 spots between them on my ATG list.

    He takes all kinds of **** for it too. Leonard's brief time post-Hagler was a disaster: Said CW fight for 2 titles, Hearns II "Draw", Duran III farce, Norris ass whoopin'...

    Lol poll's never public when it counts.

    It's Pacquiao clear but not too wide a disparity. Floyd's Cotto win brought him closer.

    maybe 40-50 spots. Floyd is soo over-rated! I had the Cotto fight a draw.

    Then you should never score a fight again.

    I'm glad you can take everything at Floyd's word and repeat it. Maybe you can get a job as a human parrot in his entourage.

    I voted Manny because there were only two choices available in the poll.

    To be fair... I can’t honestly rank one above the other unless they face each other in the ring.

    If one were to decisively beat the other, I think he -- as the winner -- would be disserving of the higher ranking.(IMO)
