    talk about ducking the question

    let's put it this way then : what the hell is Marcel Cerdan doing in a (your) top 50 AT P4P ?

        You cannot pass judgement on a fighter using 1 fight. Marcel Cerdan is arguably a Top 5 middleweight and a fighter who is mostly brushed aside.

          The greatest southpaw? Last time I checked Pernell Whitaker and Marvin Hagler were southpaws and Pacquiao isn't in their league (neither is Mayweather).

          While it's true that Armstrong's holding of three belts at once was insane at the time, Pacquiao can't really control that. And at every instance except 135, he's gone after "the man" at that weight. Whitaker and Hagler are better than Pacquiao, but I wouldn't say out of his league - Manny Pacquiao can ****ing fight.

            the video was meant to piss you off a bit

            as for the rest, hell no, Cerdan is nowhere near the top 5 AT MW

            Boxingscene rates him at no. 12, which rank sounds fair to me

              I agree Pacquiao is a hell of a fighter and the best p4p in the world right now. I don't blame Manny for his belts, I blame his most rabid fans for bringing it up as something superhuman and unheard of. As for comparisons to whtiaker and Hagler, I'm sorry but I just can't see Manny beating Pernell.....no way. Whitaker is a totally different class of fighter: A top-10 All-Time p4p. Hagler is pretty damn close to that level himself.

                  A great list. Obviously everyone has different opinions (JCC top 20, LOL), but overall it's accurate IMO and it's a fantastic thing to do creating such a big list (especiallywith no ****** Mayweather etc bias) and i have a tonne of respect for you.

                      You just said you guess it's all opinion then you question some fighters' position? It is his opinion and everyone could swap some of the fighters in that list around to the order they think but thats one of the main things about opinion everyones is different.
