who all does pac have to beat to be considered the greatest of all time?

[Dambala]

Too late for him, Father Time won't let him do it. All the possible wins he has won't take him there.

Anyone that beats Mayweather would be considered an instant ATG not because Mayweather is so great but because is so hated......

Ok, but we're talking here about the #1 ATG. I think beating Hatton, Mayweather, Cotto, Margarito will be enough. 50 years later ff. Some1 would say hey its unbelievable the greatest fighter of all time was a former flyweight champion who rose his way up just to beat the most feared fighters/champions on the welterweight division . Go beat it.

The greatest ever? Get a time machine and go back and not get KOed twice. Then take that time machine and beat MAB and Morales in their primes. Then beat JMM CLEARLY (which he has never done in my mind or many, many, many others) and then beat Hatton, then beat Floyd, then beat someone like Cotto or Margarito. Then I would consider him the best that ever fought. Jesus be with you.

is this even possible?

I don't think so. Nobody fights enough anymore. How's he gonna go 150-odd fights (or however many it was) without a loss like SRR?

[Ryn0]

Don't think it's possible to get number 1, I think Robinson will always hold that spot. But he can break the top 10 All time by beating Hatton, JMM (convincingly) and Floyd.

[pbftxrs316]

he would have to beat floyd, which won't happen, so let's say he were to fight margo, and cotto, and beat them in a very tough battle, by sd, md, or of course ud, then fight hatton and maybe even paul williams which i don't see happening. he wold have to beat the most skilled fighter overall of his generation, no contest, floyd joy mayweather jr., which won't happen at all to even be talked about.

[Im Horny]

pac is already great. each fighter has their own greatness. greatness doesn't have a carbon copy.

if pac beats hatton and mayweather then what else is there to say?

[Da Hammer]

he would get serious consideration if he beat JMM again (i dont think he has to since he beat him twice IMO but not everyone agrees), beating Ricky Hatton, beating Floyd Mayweather Jr, and some top welteweight like Cotto. he would for sure be top 5 all time!

[MANGLER]

Don't think anybody's toppin SRR.

By 2010, Pacman has to KO Hatton, KO Mayweather, KO Marquez, move up to welter and win over who-ever is the current linear champ be it P-will or Margarito. I think that seals #1 ATG status for Pacman.
