He was the lineal champ at 140. The LINEAL champ. I don't care what people say about David Diaz, who was a paper champion. Hatton beat the man, that beat the man, that beat the man and defended for 5 years. Hatton has my respect as a champion, whether he held it for 2 months he still beat the man. You put buster douglas as a highlight in the resume of Holyfield and I really cant argue because he beat the man.
Manny Pacquiao is not top 10-30 all time...

And there is no place in a ATG list for runners up bein ahead of fighters that were the best of their era just because they are old school, highly regarded throwback fighters.
Pacquiao has already done things several guys on that particular list never came close to touching achievementwise....and he's not done yet. I believe he is beating floyd....and by the time he faces Cotto or Mosley it'll be for the undisputed welterweight championship and he's beating them too....and possibly getting an alphabet as high as 154. giving him a total body of work that even the immortal roberto duran who is so high on that list couldnt come close to.
The man is obviously special. Let's just enjoy the ride while it lasts and wait til it's over before we critique harshly.Comment

Its either Bernard, Mayweather, or Pacquiao.
Everyone has their own opinion...Bernard beat a lotta guys but he usually put them at disadvantages...
Pacquiao beat a drained Morales, Barrera, JMM, and Hatton. And a drained DLH...
Mayweather beat Castillo, Corrales, Hatton, past prime DLH...Comment
