    Who will get ranked higher after retirement than before retirement?

    Public memory has a funny way of developing. Whitaker and Pryor seem to be remembered as a better fighter post retirement than pre-retirement. On the other hand, Roy Jones and Oscar seems to be ranked lower post-retirement.

    Which active fighter today will be ranked higher or lower after retirement?

      The winner of Floyd vs. Pac will be the highest ranked fighter of this era.

        Even if Floyd beats Pac I will think Pac was a greater fighter.

              U can think all u want to but it won't be the case. Either man's scalp on your resume means u have one of the to fighters of a whole generation. That's huge

                No he wont be. George Foreman had a more impressive run than Ali but Ali is regarded as greater because he BEAT Foreman.

                  I don't see how Wlad doesn't win this based on just how American's don't even care enough about him to even crap on him. Mayweather and Pacquiao are already considered greats and while it's nothing to snicker at, neither have that great of a resume past 09, at least great enough to warrant ATG status.
