    HYPOTHETICAL: If Mayweather DOMINATES Pacquiao, where does PBF belong among ATG's?

    Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. Achieving things that have not been done in the history of the sport. Pacquiao is an unquestioned all-time great fighter.

    Let's say for a moment that Floyd dominates (stops, or wins wide decision) Pac when they fight. After a nearly 2 year lay-off. What does that mean for Mayweather's legacy? Where would you put PBF among the all-time greats?

    Umm...it would mean nothing. He would have to fight Cotto and Mosley to be even considered an ATG. Just my opinion though!

      Do you consider Pac as an ATG and probably the best fighter of this generation?

        if pbf just happened to dominate against pacquiao, it would be pac out of his closer-to-natural weight class. but, it would be impressive still if he dominated.

        pac is not a big guy naturally though. this is one reason why pac is considered as great as he is. also the fact that he has foguth so many top guys compared to floyd choosing his own time to fight guys or not risking enough like pac has done.

        i would still be fairly impressed if he dominated pac.

        those are my neutral thoughts.

          Pac weighed 147 for Diaz, 148 for Delahoya and 148 for Hatton. Please help me understand the size difference he is giving up to Floyd.

          Thanks in advance.

            Cotto quit. Floyd's never lost.

              If Floyd beats Pacquiao(even if Floyd goes in as the underdog) People would come up with **** like this.

                  He'd be somewhere in the top ten for me.

                  With the likes of Robinson, Ali, Leonard, Duran, JC Chavez, Whitaker, Roy Jones.

                    ***** boy Floyd is a welterweight, therefore he should fight welterweights.

                    Beating Pacquiao ain't gonna cut it for me, that's a given.

                    But if it's Williams, Cotto, Mosley, etc., then it's a different story.
