    Usually you can't tell a fighter's place in history until they're really done fighting and if their name still comes up every now and then. But if he were to beat Hatton and Mayweather that would just make him a one of the best fighters to ever grace the sport. His resume now is already a thing of awe. Making it better is just crazy! Knowing Manny, he is probably only looking for big fights...

    War with Hatton, War with Cotto, Chase after Floyd, and finish it off with the final battle against JMM...Im telling you immortalized.

    I already consider him the greatest asian fighter of all time. Top 50 of all time as of now imo. Probably be highter by the time he retires. Also, future HOFer.

    Sorry dude, Greatest Asian fighter of all time doesn't really mean much in boxing.

    There have been a lot of great asian fighters, we just dont hear about them...If Pac beats Mayweather than yes it would be hard not to put him in the top 15 of all time. Even if beats Hatton he is bumped up a lot.

    He is already one of the greatest little men to ever grace the game....He already ranks up there with guys Like Salvadore Sanchez, Ruben Olivares, Fighting Harada and Khaosai Galaxy...He is a top 10 of our era....He has plenty of time left to be a top 20 ATG

    If he was to beat Hatton and Mayweather he would have to be in the top 5 of all time.

    Top 20 is ridiculous, that would put him on the level of someone like Hagler.

    Beating Hatton and Floyd would put him higher than Henry Armstrong, Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leanoard imo.

    For a man to win world titles from fly weight to welterweight and to beat the top men in each division in the modern era would be just incredible.

    It's a huge ask though, him and Ricky will be a close fight, maybe a pick'em but fighting Floyd would be a big ask.

    IF he pulled it off I'd have no hesitation at all in calling him the greatest fighter of the last 20 years and sticking him in the top 5 ever.
