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

[-EX-]

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

How was Hearns a controversial win? He was beating the **** outta him in that round...

And I was speaking for right now...as of right now he hasn't fought as many diff styles as SRL...

And Hearns and Hagler are clearly better than Floyd, Cotto, Barrera and the others...

And then you throw Benitez in there...

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..........

I Have to respectfully disagree my friend. At no time will Pac have beaten a fighter the caliber of Benitez or Hearns at their peak like Ray did. Throw in a top 10 All timer and a top 25 all timer and his work is cut out for him even if he were to beat Floyd who just barely cracks the top 50 IMO.

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

....is that all you could come up with why pac could not surpass leonard?....

the second fight............................

And I was speaking for right now...as of right now he hasn't fought as many diff styles as SRL...

And Hearns and Hagler are clearly better than Floyd, Cotto, Barrera and the others...


And then you throw Benitez in there...

But fact is SRL didnt rematch hagler..........

yeah but pacquiao had controversial wins also

exactly my point...............just like SRL had his...................

[GrandMasterP]

hows that ridiculous?

dude are you serious!!!
ok how do you rate JMM on atg's if you even rate him as one

[-EX-]

But fact is SRL didnt rematch hagler..........

That doesn't diminish his resume...maybe his legacy a bit


Even if you take away Hagler...you still have Duran, Hearns, and Benitez...one is a top 10 maybe top 5 ATG...

dude are you serious!!!
ok how do you rate JMM on atg's if you even rate him as one

im serious with my question. why dont you go ahead and answer instead of throwing a question back to me

[baracuda]

yeah but pacquiao had controversial wins also

[GrandMasterP]

....is that all you could come up with why pac could not surpass leonard?....
