    I guess some people might think of his status as slipping. For me, and I think a lot of other people, his status as an ATG is based on his peak.

    So no, I don't think it hurts his status at all. It sucks watching a fighter on the decline, but it doesn't affect their legacy.

      The last few years we have seen Manny Pacquiao turn in some lackluster performances along with being brutally KO’d. With tax issues and senator duties it seems as if his mind is not 100% on boxing. Should the great Manny Pacquiao hang the gloves up like TBE and Calzaghe before he hurts his legacy? He currently ranks #4 in BoxRec's ranking of the greatest pound for pound boxers of all time. Which brings me to my next question. Does losses matter to Pacquiao legacy?
      There is an old saying in boxing “you’re only great as your last fight”

        Top twenty ATG-status is cemented.

        I do have a feeling though, if Jones retired immediately after the Tarver win, he might've stayed in Top ten status instead of slipping to the lower teens..

          No..

          Manny is a certified ATG

          This decade doesn’t even matter, dude was ATG by 2009


          Nobody cares about late career losses by joe Louis, Ali, Leonard, Roy, etc.

          25 years from now, nobody is gonna give a shyt if old manny lost to jeff horn
