Where does Manny rank all time?

dan actually knows about as much about boxing as anybody else on the sight
if we ranked/graded everybody here he'd get an A
we've all got our biases. we are human
that said, you'll find many more legit boxing people who don't rank manny pacquiao in the top ten than those who do. i cant think of any expert who thinks manny pacquiao is in the top 10.
there's a reason we wait for fighter's careers to finish as well, and for their opponents to finish. you get a much better idea of their accomplishments when they're done accomplishing things / losing fights.Comment

i should probably add my .02, instead of just being a negative nancy.
i've got my top 10 worked out. my top 25 is there in name only, and not in order.
pacquiao isn't in either of those lists.
he's probably in my top 25-50. certainly no higher than 75 or so.Comment

Definitely number 1. I mean, he's beaten like 5 HOFers, one or two even in their prime! He's even beat modern ATGs like Cotto and Clottey. Those old school cats haven't beaten any HOFers. If it ain't in colour it didn't happen...and if it did then it was ****.
What does it matter that there are about 72 titles to win compared to only nine back in the old school days. Or even back like 50 years ago when the world title split and became the WBC and WBA, plus there were a few extra divisions, it added up to about 25 titles to grab!
Now there are 72, it's so much easier. The more the merrier I say. Isn't it great to be able to just ask for a fight at 150, or whatever and get a title thrown in for free with it, without either guy ever fighting there, being champion or beating a top ten ranked fighter? It's awesome.
Even modern ATG Clottey got to grab a freebie title with that vacant IBF belt because he just couldn't seem to beat any 'real champions'. If you can't win one against a champion, they can just put you in against someone who isn't a champ so you can get one. It's great!
