If AND THAT'S A BIG IF he were to fight and defeat Spence, easily Top 5 PFP all time.

No, it don't work like that. He's top 5 already b y default.
He's beat thurman. If you fight these top guys at 40 your going to get losses, it's unlikely he'll beat spence.
Not that he couldn't if he didn't fight thurman already. But you won't win every fight at this stage of career at the highest level. Even spence would have losses if he fought crawford And thurman, they'd all have losses against each other
Saying he needs to beat spence when spence hasn't even beat thurman is just putting up an imaginary barrier again. Armstrong wouldn't beat thurman, or crawford or spence. So why does Pac have to beat spence?

[LockardTheGOAT]

Definitely better than Floyd...

He's a perfect example of how you can lose to someone and yet still be the more accomplished fighter in terms of your overall career resume

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Marquez knocked a 8 division 5 time lineal champion in his prime spark out.

Pacquiao has never beaten an 8 division 5 time lineal champion in his prime.

Nobody will ever come close to achieving what Marquez did.

To add to that, Marquez lost to every undefeated fighter he faced which kinda dilutes his achievements.

Javier Duran
Freddie Norwood
Chris John
Floyd Mayweather
Tim Bradley

Meanwhile Pacman just beat an undefeated fighter at 40. I can even see him beating Spence, but hard to see it against Crawford. So many doubted Manny in so many fights and he's proven us wrong several times.

[Thuglife Nelo]

Pac beat a mid-level welter..... one who did not look like the same (largely-unproven) fighter since returning from injury/inactivity..... and yet, fools are going full-ret4rd

Q.
who did you beat, with consideration given to when/how ?

A.
NOBODY important lol, and the nobody important has clearly struggled since returning to the ring..... albeit beating him at 40yo

Pac could have been 10 division champ. Mind boggling

[COVID-19]

You call that a loss, the rest of the world calls it a no contest.

Pac-tards can’t get over the FACT that Floyd schooled him.

[Mooshashi]

Pac-tards can’t get over the FACT that Floyd schooled him.

So losing to another great fighter means you are dog poop?

Using that "logic", Ali sucks because he lost to Frazier.
Joe Louis is nothing because he lost to Marciano.
Willie Pep is a bum because he lost to Sandy Saddler.
Marvin Hagler stinks because he lost to SRL.

Etc.

I didn't realize that Pacquiao had more fights at 147 than any other weight class, and he's only 1 win away from having more wins at 147 than any other weight class.
