Pacquaio- if he beats mayweather twice, Canelo then golovkin he will shoot up to the top 10

I will go out on a limb and say there is no way Pac and GGG ever fight...

No one right now has a chance. For a modern fighter to achieve that kind of greatness, with how different the sport is, they'd need a career like Sugar Ray Leonard had, only without the hiatus he had because of his eye. Leonard's the closest thing boxing has to a fighter with a modern style career being the greatest ever.

Obviously no one in boxing right now has a career even close to Leonard's.

Not the greatest ever.

OK

What if Wlad went through Wilder Fury and Joshua?
What is GGG unified middleweight then beat Ward and Kovalev?
What is Pac beats Floyd twice then beats Lara and Canelo?
What if Ward beat GGG and Kovalev?
What if Naoya Inoue went all the way to welterweight and unified all the divisions?

If these guys accomplished these feats along with the rest of their careers with this hypothetical murderers row.

Someone could become the GOAT if they did some crazy ****.

You need to display an over all skill level that no one has at this time. Being great doesn't begin and end with who you defeat. You first evalute skill level and add in stamina and ring generalship then resume.
In todays boxing Rigo is the best talent but he has no one to fight on a regular basis to show the public his skill level. The average fan doesn't have the education to recognize skill levels and a fighters I.Q. because they only know "what they see" but don't know right from wrong concerning techniques and then compare names on a record.

To me Rigo is miles ahead of anyone else when considering an ATG talent.

Ray.

Impossible. Fighters don't fight often enough and while ducking is nothing new, it's gotten to the point where its not cool anymore to be the best.
