    So he'll need to go up to 147 and beat a few of the top guys.

    But no way, at the moment is he Top 30.
    not for me anymore, that was real, De La Hoya just couldn't touch him.

    The guy is the fastest, but crucially he's carried his power up with him.

      Anyweyz as for top 10-30 all time, I saw ESPNs list but I don't know how one can argue Pac's placement without having much knowledge of every single fighter on that list. I mean how many people can honestly recount Stanley Ketchel's achievements and significance victories without checking out Wikipedia....
      Even if you leave out a few of those guys we could sit here and bring up 10 more who have better resumes than Pacquiao.

        I hope he pulls a Gatti like performance and shuts everyone up......It does not have to convice anyone because if he wins a UD and then beats Manny what else can you say

          yeah but think of who Pac is going to add to his resume.

          A smaller guy has a better chance of beating Pac, he's too quick for these big LWs, and WW. They're too slow.

              1. Sugar Ray Robinson
              2. Muhammad Ali
              3. Henry Armstrong
              4. Joe Louis
              5. Willie Pep
              6. Roberto Duran
              7. Benny Leonard
              8. Jack Johnson
              9. Jack Dempsey
              10. Sam Langford
              11. Joe Gans
              12. Sugar Ray Leonard
              13. Harry Greb
              14. Rocky Marciano
              15. Jimmy Wilde
              16. Gene Tunney
              17. Mickey Walker
              19. Stanley Ketchel
              20. George Foreman
              21. Tony Canzoneri
              22. Barney Ross
              23. Jimmy McLarnin
              24. Julio Cesar Chavez
              25. Marcel Cerdan
              26. Joe Frazier
              27. Ezzard Charles
              18. Archie Moore
              28. Jake LaMotta
              29. Sandy Saddler
              30. Terry McGovern

              I know some don't like this list but who on here that is notable to you outside of maybe Chavez(and he even has a billion wins) would you put Pacquiao ahead of?

              And please, this thread has nothing to do with Mayweather cuz he aint in the top 30 either.
              You had a good thing going until you used the ESPN list as an example.

              Nevertheless, it's a worthy debate. Manny Pacquiao is an ATG IMO and is fast moving up the top 50. I'd put him in there already and he could potentially slide into the top ten with a win over Mayweather. God forbid he beat another welter champ too.

                As in not happened yet. When he does it, we can move him up the ATG list. For now to me he doesn't crack the top 30...

                  You guys just haven't heard of Sandy Saddler and a few others...that's why your saying Pac is in the top 30...
                  A filipino fighter named Elorde beat him and he beat Elorde in a rematch because he fought dirty. Manny is considered greater than Elorde.

                    I aint buying it...no way does Pac move into the top 10 ALL TIME by beating Floyd Mayweather...

                    So ur saying he jumps 30-40 spots by beating one man?
