Pacquiao has beaten 3 guys on ESPNs top 50 ATG list

SRR yes (not sure if you mean him), but Leonard, well not really. Leonard only had 40 fights and even though he fought mostly top competition, his prime was short because of the eye injury (1979-1981). Duran on the other hand was at the top of his game from 1972 to 1980 and only lost to Esteban DeJesus, a loss he avenged twice. Even past his prime he managed to win the light middleweight and middleweight titles. Leonard's comeback is considered to have been successful but his split decision win over Hagler and the draw against Hearns could've gone the other way, actually the draw should've gone the other way. That draw was a daylight robbery to say the least, everybody knew including Sugar Ray that the Motor City Cobra won that one...

im cool with that.. its a matter of oppinions..... but we cant deny that the majority will claim srr deservers to be higher than duran!!!..

I actually agree with that particular ranking (Duran above Leonard). A lot of people do. I agree with Duran being ranked higher that Sugar Ray too, it doesn't really matter where Duran was ranked as long as Leonard is a notch below him. The big difference was where Duran started his boxing career and where he ended up after he retired, from the Earth to the Moon...

:lol1:............ thats the only argument you need to know is a shitty list!! but u can find hundreds of them..!! :boxing: I actually agree with that particular ranking (Duran above Leonard). A lot of people do.

Sucks definitely. Duran at no. 6 and Sugar Ray Leonard at no. 12??? :lol1:............ thats the only argument you need to know is a shitty list!! but u can find hundreds of them..!! :boxing:

espn list sucks... Sucks definitely. Duran at no. 6 and Sugar Ray Leonard at no. 12???

espn list sucks...

46!........

just for the record the list isn't just on skill and accomplishments alone, they also take other things into factor like how popular/appealing one is for the sport. That's why oscar is on the list, because his greatness isn't simply measured as what he accomplished in the ring, its also measured as what he has done for the sport and how he appealed to the masses like no other (in our time). As always, great gif you got there dude! :boxing:

Just for the record, I have no complaints Oscar being there, but I do agree with Soir with Iron Mike higher in rank (or lower in the numbers rating) against Oscar if we based it on your take. Tyson was more popular than Jordan and Gretzky in their time, and that says a lot...

That list is a steaming pile of crap! If your going to rank Oscar De La Hoya at 39 then you ought to give Mike Tyson the 38 spot at the very least. Oscar and Tyson have an equal amount of million dollar pay per views. Tysons record is 3-3, De La Hoya is 0-6.

I'm not sure if I would rank DLH, Barrera or Morales that high but Pacquiao is certainly a All time great fighter. :boxing::boxing::boxing:

I LOL'ed at Oscar being on the list, which is why I wonder who takes ESPN seriously as a boxing authority.

I'm not sure if I would rank DLH, Barrera or Morales that high but Pacquiao is certainly a great fighter.

Manny is a legend and a future ATG and if JMM doesn't make the cut then it will be a joke. Manny v Floyd would be amazing
