True, but how many of the ORIGINAL weightclasses did Pac win belts in, 4? And how many Lineal divisional titles has he earned? Those feats alone are ATG material.
but there are like 5 belts in every damn division..back in the day there was only 1 title per division...wow..people are actually taking ts seriously

Even though there are a million versions of titles during these days, the Lineal titles are of most worth. Flyweight, Featherweight, Super Featherweight, and Junior Welterweight Lineal titles? Who else has held more than 3 Lineal titles?

not knocking manny..but this is overating at its finest
Well, if Pacquiao is a true Welterweight, I would give him a decent chance at those guys, but I feel 140 is Pac's true weightclass. I definitely don't see Pacquiao surviving against 160 Hagler. Out of those guys, I think he might be able to take on Duran since he wasn't a big WW, and has an aggressive style most of the time (which Pacquiao eats up).

Duran would most likely beat Pac but I agree he has the best chance against him.I think Pryor and Alexis beat's Pac.I won't even mention Hearns or SRL.
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.
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.
