    He's near the top ten, between #11 and #15.

    A win over Mayweather now and he's definitely a top ten ATG.

      Low 20's, if he beats Mayweather then I will put him 10-15.

      10-15 on my list has the likes of Jimmy Wilde, Armstrong, Greb it's a pretty elite bunch.

      Beat SSM too and he can replace Locche in the top 10.

        Inside the top 25 I don't think I would go inside the top 17 or 18 though. He would be on the edge of my top tier of fighters (top teir meaning you could argue them as the best ever). I would not quite put him in that tier but he would be inbetween tier 1 and 2 closer to tier 1.

          I don't think any of us have our own list...you guys think he's passed someone in the top 10 on ESPN's list?

          1. Sugar Ray Robinson
          2. Muhammad Ali
          3. Henry Armstrong
          4. Joe Louis
          5. Willie Pep
          6. Roberto Duran
          7. Benny Leonard
          8. Jack Johnson
          9. Jack Dempsey
          10. Sam Langford

          And that list excludes Sugar Ray Leonard, Whitaker, Emile Griffith, etc.

            I agree people are getting carried away here.

            LOL exactly. Pac still IMO needs to accomplish way more to be between 2 and 5. Even if he beats Mosley and Pac. I would not put him between 2 and 5.

                Let you know when he's career is done. Although if I had to rate him now, I'd definitly put him in the top 15.

                  Yeah that would require a Floyd triology with him winning two out of three, SSM and then Pwill at 154.

                  in the extremely unlikely event that happens i'll put him No3 and never question his right to be there.
