Can Manny Pacquiao Surpass Sugar Ray Leonard in the ATG List?

[PAC-BOY]

ofcourse....some already think he has surpassed him......and pac aint even done yet.....

Absolutely . Some boxing experts ,writers and historians have already P4P got him surpassing SRL . I believe a few more great fights and hands down there can be no argument

Lets flip this for a minute. Are Barrera, Morales, JMM, Hatton or Cotto even top 50 fighters? Do they compare all time to Hearns, Duran, Hagler and Benitez? I've re-thought this and no, it isn't going to happen. Pac is great, He's just not Sugar Ray Leonard great.

cosign.................if he beats cotto, PBF and mosley though.............i think he can............

how is it ridiculous when rating atg's are all based on opinions?.......he's being compared to hank armstrong who is the best to some and 2nd to many......pac is labelled as the arsmstrong of this era.....

ofcourse you will always find someone who will say nobody should be mentioning pac in a same sentence with hank and all that bs.....the thing is the ones who are giving all the praises to pac are mostly boxing fan whos seen many many fights like merchant and bert sugar...and you can say they prolly have something to do with the atg list also...

being compared to armstrong is a mere flattery but it doesnt mean that he can go that high in the atg list. good post still

Its not impossible, though I would say its improbable.

I think Pacquiao is more comparable with Duran than he is with Leonard, and at the moment he all ready got the better of two A.T.G in Barrera and Morales, and we wont count the ODH one, If he beat PBF, then surely he can get in the top ten ATG

Pacquiao did step up and beat Marquez, Barrera and Morales. You have to give him credit for that. Those three are potential hall of famers.

If he beats Cotto and Mayweather then he should be ranked higher.

wow....r we really just talkin about pacquiao surpassing the great sugar ray leonard..

I cant believe the pacquiao threads these days..

better belive it........multiply the praises pac is getting now by 10 after he retires......

He really doesn't have opposition like Hagler, Hearns and Duran around but a win over Mayweather would be huge.
