Has anybody on here seen all the great fighters of the past to compare them with Pacquiao? Does anybody actually rank the top 100 fighters or even the top 50 or the top 20? Some might rank the top 10 but that's about it. I will just say Pacquiao is an all time great fighter and leave it at that. I haven't the slightest idea where he ranks compared with every great fighter who ever boxed in the last 116 years or so.
He won't be fully appreciated until 20-30 years from now when people realize the rarity of what he did. Flyweight-welterweight....
To put it into perspective, it's like seeing a small guy like Magdaleno at 122 go to 147...or Oscar Valdez go to 147.
Or consider this,..Pacquiao and Lomachenko are close to the same size. PAC's walk around weight is about 2 lbs more... Given that Pac is older, that's natural. They're comparable in size.
the best way to gauge pac's rank on the atg list is... the easiest way to put it, pac will be at least 10 to 11th place in front of fraud mayweather jr.
for example if fraud jr is at # 20 on the atg list then pac should be at # 10 or 9.
