right now i would put pacquiao at #50 or so as an ATG. certainly below roberto duran, julio cesar chavez jr., alexis arguello, salvador sanchez, wilfredo gomez, or ricardo lopez.
Is Pac an ATG?

how many boxers can say they got 5 titles in 5 divisions (3 lineal)?
how many boxers had a flyweight title (lineal) and also had one at superfeatherweight (lineal) or lightweight (ABC)?
how many boxers can say they beat 3 guys that are also in the HOF?
not too many. he's in very good company.
we'll see how high he comes depending on what he does in the next few years.Comment

I believe you can only be considered for ATG status once you've retired. Pacquiao could go and achieve even greater success, e.g he could clean up at 135, drop back to 130 and take on Valero or beat Hatton at 140.Comment

jcc sr.
i hope you rate manny higher than jr.
yeah, i meant to say chavez sr.
i think pacquiao is a great fighter for the moment but no way is he even in the top five of any weight division he won his titles at!Comment

that's debatable. maybe top 5 at 122 or 130.
problem is he started out at fly and didn't stay in any of the 122-130 divisions long.
he has the titles in different divisions going for him though.Comment
