      Shiiiiit....Both Roy and Pac should be around the top 40 ATG list.

      That's not too shabby for them being overrated and overhyped.

      And, both rank right now would rank higher all than Floyd, Holyfield, Hopkins, and the 3 Mexican Muskateers. That's not too bad at all.

      Granted both Floyd and Hopkins are still going strong. So they can catch up and surpass. But, as for today both Roy and Pac rank higher and by a solid margin.

        Pac as top 40 I totally agree with, maybe even top 30...but this #1 or top 3 garbage is utter lunacy.

            And, being anywhere in the top 100 let alone top 30-50 is a great compliment. Just shows you how great and awesome these fighters are.

            No doubt that Pac is not in the top 10 and may never be in the top 10. I would not put him in my top 10 if he beats Floyd and Martinez. Because, is just so hard to get on that level. But, the reason you have the new fans believing all this is because Pac is the flavor of the month. It happens to every fight big time fighter.

            From Tyson fan base, to JCC fan base, to Roy fan base, to Tito fan base(I'm guilty as charge with this one), to even Floyd fan base calling him the greatest skilled fighter of all time the greatest defensive fighter of all time and this and that. To now Pac.

            And, then when the next flavor of the month comes along the same thing will happen.

            It is what it is.

              And, both Harry Greb and Sam Langford have a case to being the fighter of the century. As they also have a case to being the P4P GOAT....Yes they have a case to being rank ahead of SRR.

                i'm reluctant to put Harry Greb in my top p4p list only because

                I haven't found any footage where hes actually fighting

                ...most of the stuff we know about him is from records and books

                still pretty impressive though

                  That's why i also rank SRR ahead of him. But, ranking greatness the main criteria is resume and accomplishment. And, what Greb resume and accomplishments can be matched up with any fighter.

                  I don't like to put Greb in fantasy match ups cuz' I never seen a fight. So don't know his style(even though by reports he somewhat had a Duran style) skill level, talent, strength, weakness. So it's hard to put him in a H2H match up.

                  But, with rankings and resume and accomplishment being the main criteria is hard not to rank him. He beat double digits HOF'ers. How many HOF'ers he beat? 14 or 18? Some ridiculous number like that.

                  Also there are footage of fighters such as Gene Tunney(who was a very skilled fighter), Rosenbloom, The Gibbons brothers. So we know how good these fighters are. So for Greb to beat them and do it mainly with just one eye. Then you know he must have been an effin beast.

                    Pacquiao was already Flavor of the Decade in the past decade. Flavor of the month is the wrong description. Right now, Canelo is flavor of the month. Donaire just a few months ago. When Martinez threw that KO punch on Williams he was flavor of the month and for that year.

                    But Pac was already Fighter of the Decade last decade.

                    Which puts him in great company. Dempsey, Armstrong, Robinson, Ali, Leonard were all fighter of the decade.
