Is it too early to consider Manny a modern great?

[J.R]

After all he has beaten the best below light welter, (feathers, lightweights and so on.) He has De La Hoya on his victim list. And destroyed the best in the 140 division. Can we safely say he is an all timer?

Naw man, Pacman is the ****.. I just think Mayweather is better.

Yea he's top 50 all time in my opinion. And has the shot of being fighter of the decade...

no its not too early. just look at what he's accomplished.

[Foodie One]

With all the imcoming praise by the boxing experts, he is without any doubt a modern day boxing great. JAT

Hows about an all timer? where would he rank in peoples ATG lists?

It's most certainly not too early to define him as a modern great, oh fearless leader of the Others who has miraculously risen from the dead.

Sorry, just a rare treat to see a fellow LOST junkie on here!!!

But I'm already calling Manny the greatest fighter of his generation, and he's bordering on the point to where they should put him in the HOF the moment he retires, rather than make him wait five years.

As far as ranking Manny as an ATG - I believe he's already there, though it's tough to rank active fighters. The problem with it is that you start to rank them too high, then suddenly they tumble down after one loss.

If he were to retire today, I don't think it's unreasonable to give serious consideration for Top 20 (perhaps even higher). The remarkable thing is that he has a genuine chance to make a run at (in my personal order, from #4 to #1) Louis, Armstrong, Ali and SRR.

oh yeah, he is great fighter. Got to give him credit...he made is pt in the ring. But the greatest fighter in this era...i don't think so. But he can find that answer in the ring too!
