not now :!:

in round about 9 hours somebody will go down in history and should be in everyones top 10 ever list, i am curious how you will have it after the fight. one thing is for sure, the one means big one in terms of legacy, what am i talking, in terms of everything.

please dont hate or start questions, if i mean top 10 ever in terms of record or ability, its your top 10, you do it how you want to do it!

just simply post your 10. i am curious if someones will boxe in such tremendous fashion that he might crack my ultra high level top 3 (jones/robinson/leonard ), but if mayweather pulls a diego coralles kind of win or pacquiao a ricky hatton kind of win, than hell, why not hehe

Neither are close to Top 10 all-time P4P. Mayweather MAY have squeaked into the Top 20 with his win today.

"Please don't hate or start questions, just follow my absurdly over enthusiastic premises, we all know this fight defines all time greatness"

1.Floyd Mayweather
2.Manny Pacquiao
3.Floydy Pacquiweather

Happy?

I have to admit I don't know enough about certain old-time fighters to properly assess where they belong, but I believe the following, in no particular order, should be rated ahead of Mayweather and Pacquiao:

Archie Moore
Sugar Ray Robinson
Muhummad Ali
Joe Louis
Ezzard Charles
Carlos Monzon
Harry Greb
Sam Langford
Henry Armstrong
Benny Leonard
Marvin Hagler
Willie Pep
Roberto Duran
Sugar Ray Leonard
Thomas Hearns

That's 15 and there's certainly more who I would add to that list if I knew more about them or had seen more footage of them. Both Mayweather and Pacquiao are undoubtedly ATGs, but neither belongs close to an all-time P4P top 10 list and I'd argue that RJJ doesn't belong in the top 30, possibly top 50.
