Would the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight seal a top 10 ATG ranking?

    If Manny beats Floyd...Top10 of all time.

    If Floyd beats Manny...Top15 of all time.

    However, probably they will fight some other times, and have a couple more good wins, so I think the winner of Floyd/Manny will definitely end up in the Top10 of all time.

    Floyd took 3 years to be P4P #2 and has never since left that position since 1999. Over a decade of being P4P #1 or #2.

    Manny is a recent Top 5 P4P fighter in comparison, with losses, draws, bad decisions and people want to act like his resume is more impressive? Cmon. Don't kid yourself.

    And who's fault was it Pacman didn't enter the P4P rankings before recently? Ring magazine?

    Floyd was P4P #8 in 1998, and #2 in 1999.

    However, his ranking varied between 2000 and 2003. He was, for example, #8 in 2002.

    In 2004, he was #2 again. Then, he became #1 in 2005.

    That is insane. Even at the most generous level I can't see that happening. They need more than 1 meaningful fight.

    Pacman appeared in the P4P rankings in 2003, after beating Barrera. He was ranked #5.

    In 2006, he was moved to #2.

    In 2008, he was moved to #1.
