Pacquiao Is already a top 10 ATG, a win over Mayweather puts him ahead of SRR.

Defeating Floyd would place him number 2, before SRR. Right now I would have Manny anywhere between 5-10, Mayweather likely in my top 20 somewhere.

With all due respect, you don't know **** about boxing history if you have Manny in the top 10 all time. You can't just bump other fighters with greater historical resumes, and you can't just assume he belongs there without doing your homework. SRR, Greb, Armstrong B. Leonard, Pep, Langford, Gans, Charles, Duran, Ali, Louis, Moore, etc, etc., etc., all have much better claims. Than there is McLarnin, Ross, Canzoneri, Conn, Burley, Holman Williams.....I can go on here for awhile. Pac is great, but there are many fighters in history who simply had better careers because they beat better fighters.

Pac has won a record 7 world titles which is incredible considering he missed out at least two weight classes. Could go on to beat Cotto which will make him an 8 weight champion, a record that noone will ever come close to beating.

Wins over Morales, Barrera, JMM, Hatton, Cotto, DLH show that he delivers in the big fights. The Henry Armstrong of our era.

A win over Mayweather will mean he would of beaten another ATG. We should all apreciate the greatness that is Manny Pacquiao an inspiration to his people and a true global icon.

The likes of Duran, Hearns, Hagler would not be able to cope with the P4P king. I can see SRL outboxing Pac early on in the fight but Pacs awkward angle punching will mean that he stops SRL late on.

SRR would be a 50/50 tossup. However who better than Roach to come up with the perfect game plan to beat him. I can see Pac posing the same problems Jake La Motta did.

SRR is the GOAT - this is some nuthugger thread

it was because of SRR that the term "pound 4 pound" was invented.....

Just remember there wasn't as many weight classes when robinson was fighting.

And remember Roy JOnes going from 160 to fighting a guy who weighs 240 is and 80lb jump. Pac hasn't even gone 40 lbs yet. Roy also beat a guy who outweighed him by 50 lbs in the ring. Pac is weight drainin people and fighting them even. Roy is much more amazing statistically and visually. Pac is not better than Roy Jones Jr.

Jab there's no reason to try and have a rational debate with some people on here, this guy is one of them, he clearly won't even know the name of some of the people you listed.

The term p4p was used long before Robinson my friend, though I believe it fits him the best.

The term pound for pound was used earlier then SRR for Bob Fitzsimmons and Tony Canzoneri in some newspapers.

I agree with the original poster that is Pac beats PBF he will be above SRR.
He keeps doing things hes not supposed to do, and more impressively than anyone could ever imagine him doing.
At this level there should not be any easy fights, but pac is making it look easy.

He batters greats like Barrera, and Morales for his warm ups. He then does the business on Hatton at his best weight, and then DLH and then Cotto. Perforamances that cant be bettered by anyone in the sport. He then beats Clottey like he has never been beat before. Clottey has fought WW's all his career and it took a 116lb guy to say that is the only time he felt he lost a fight. And was in survival mode the whole fight.

Pac is above SRR ability wise. But just to be polite and not offend anyone we will say he needs to beat PBF to cement it.
