What does beating Spence do for Manny Pacquaio's overall standing?

Manny is ranked right up there and will be nearly 43 at the time of the fight. Regardless who we feel wins between Spence and Crawford I am sure we can all agree Spence is a beast. He also dwarfs Manny. What (roughly) would such a win (And I do think given the circumstances it would be one of the biggest wins in history, I am serious) do for him and his already stacked resume? Top 10 ATG? Would that be unreasonable?

If he wins its like Duran beating Iran Barkley or davey Moore. An older seasoned veteran beating a young champion.

No Pac's sticks to boxing and becomes GOAT! Froid becomes the best of his era but not GOAT.

He'll be even with KingMay in terms of number of individual champs beaten, that's all... If Pacquaio does beat Spence who is next? Has to be Bud! I think he'll fight McLoser, Tenshin or Logan to follow KingMay's greatness...

But if Spence doesn't win the Pacquaio legend grows. I think some of you fear that. Prior to Thurman, there really wasn't much to rave about @ WW.

Absolutely huge win. Probably puts him in the top 10, top5 of all time. That would be an insane win at this stage in the game

If he beat Spence then it's bigger than Muhammad Ali - George Foreman upset. We all know that's the fight that made Ali the greatest ever. :boxing: Ali was great before he became Ali. You won't find too many Brandon Rios types on his resume.

Pac beating Spence in any non controversial manner and it's huge !!! Spence is not ''green'' or damaged. He's young and also a lefty. Big assed W if he could pull it off.

You Manny fans go too far and us fight fans take it out on Manny instead of you guys lol. It would be a really good win for sure. It's not like Spence is seen as the undisputed best at 147.

barrera, morales, chavez sr and other boxing legends already considered pac as the GOAT and if pac beat spence at the age of 43 where he is very old, past prime, part time boxer, full time senator and 2 years inactive i think he is the GOD of boxing. If he beat Spence then it's bigger than Muhammad Ali - George Foreman upset. We all know that's the fight that made Ali the greatest ever. :boxing:

I can't see him beating Spence but I'll be rooting for him. What a crazy little man taking such a fight at this stage.
