    Name some currently active fighters that could someday be considered all-time greats?

    Who among currently active fighters have a chance of people looking back in 25 years and considering them to be all-time greats?

    Jones very possibly. Pacquiao perhaps? Maybe Calzaghe?

    Maybe Linares will accomplish great things in the next decade...

          Pacman is a sho-in win or lose against Dela Hoya. He'd end up around #40

          Juan Manuel Marquez if he wins against Casamayor convincingly probably as high as #45

          Calzaghe....barely. If Mike Tyson is at #50 and I was to choose between Joe and Mike...I'd take Mike.

                  Maybe Boom Boom Bautista, AJ Banal, Z Gorres, Donnie Nietes and their trainer Edito Villamor?
