Can Manny Pacquiao Surpass Sugar Ray Leonard in the ATG List?

[strugler]

Its not impossible, though I would say its improbable.

what will clinch it for pacquiao is PBF.................Cotto and shane could be argued ruined and old...............if PBF looks impressive against jmm..............an "if" he loss to pac and beat some legit WW.......itll make PACS resume at par if not better than SRL imo..........

[JM1]

i should have added a poll since some people think that pac can surpass srl. my bad

[TheGreatA]

Mosley and Cotto would of course add to his resume but I don't think they are Hagler, Hearns or Duran level wins.

[baracuda]

being compared to armstrong is a mere flattery but it doesnt mean that he can go that high in the atg list. good post still

....some might be a lil too scared right now to rate him as high as they see him coz bad things can still happen until he retires.....

No...off the top of the head I'd have him in the 30's somewhere currently...

Duran, Hearns, and maybe Benitez(aint seen enuff of em) are better than anyone Pacquiao's ever fought...

And Morales, Barrera, and Marquez are all very good fighters but none are considered ATG's...

If he were to beat Floyd, Cotto, and maybe Mosley you may be able to make a case...Mosley's past it so I wouldn't but its possible...

And another thing Leonard beat every style of fighter you can basically go up against. He beat a defensive fighter, pressure fighter with boxing skills, a physically taller and stronger man than him...

Leonard's the best complete fighter of recent times...

lets not pretend he didnt have controversial wins............against hearns and hagler...........MAB, JMM, Morales, PBF, Cotto, doesnt exactly have the same style..............

personally i think trying to compare pacquiao to the top 20 atg's is ridiculous
i mean pac is a great fighter but cmon...
