    Big no. Pac never even beat a fighter as great as Olivares, let alone fight one.
    But wasnt olivares kinda on the slide, still very good, but not quite at peak, similar to manny beating morales,,,
    Manny beating MAB, jmm, were all great wins, that stands up to any other win that arguello had.. plust overall, manny has much more depth on his resume than arguello does, he fought more "big" fights, and went thru more division..
    No disrespect to arguello because he was a great fighter, i just think manny has done more overall in his career

    Non taken, I just think Dempsey was the most dominant heavyweight of his era and the most feared fighter of the decade. When he eventually faced Tunney, he'd been out of the ring for 3 years and was never the same again. Arguello has great achievements but yes, Manny overtakes him but I think, from the fights I've seen, that Arguello was more skilled, better combinations, terrific speed and agility (Manny trumps him on speed) and good solid power.

    TBH, there are names in my list from 35-40 that could easily be interchangeable. If you place him higher, no problem but he shouldn't be any higher than 30.
    Yes i will agree that arguello was more skilled and precise than manny,, I figure that if manny and arguello would fight, it would be just like the jmm-manny fights, with manny's knockdowns saving him from loses

      Pacquiao belongs with the likes of SRL and Ali. top 5 at least. We won't see another Pac in the future so enjoy his last few fights as you can.

        If Pacquiao did those things I would rate him as the greatest fighter of all time.

          Win or Lose Mayweather will do anything to duck Pacquiao. For me, Pacquiao is still the best.

          Fighter that he has beaten:

          JMM (twice)
          Morales (twice)
          Barrera (twice)
          Diaz (K.O)
          De la hoya (Quit)
          Mosley (UD)
          Hatton (K.O)
          Cotto (K.O)
          Clottey (UD)
          Margarito (UD)
          Bradley (Definitely Pacman beats Bradley)
          next Rios

            Top 15-20. Beating Floyd would be huge. He's already up pretty far up there if he lost to Rios and retired right after.

              top 5 but forget the Mayweather fight, Floyd's a coward b!tch expect him to duck Pac more than ever if he sees his performance this coming Saturday still on the elite level.

                No doubt one heck of a resume, the best in my lifetime in terms of opponents faced. I'd rate him above Floyd, win or lose because Floyd doesn't have a resume to match that, plus it's not just the wins, it is the manner of many of those wins. Destructive performances to say the least.

                  Im a huge Pac fan... I feel hes the best of the last 15 years... If he did all this he would be in the top 10 ATG list, maybe a spot in 8-10

                      rematches and beats Bradley or Marquez convincingly
                      then fights Mayweather as his final fight and beats him before hanging up the gloves
                      Funny to read all the past posts before these fights occurred.
                      He added undefeated Algieri to the list. Only one remaining is Mayweather.
