Manny Pacquao, How great is he???

Whatever his legacy would be it will always be tarnished by his perpertual ducking of Mighty Mike. I've given breakdowns of what he has impressed me with and what has been less than impressive. Regardless of my personal opinion there is no doubt that he has sparked the interest of boxing in the minds of another generation. He is always in exciting fights and it's hard to think of very many fighters that have accomplished what he has. He has a resume that is absolutely phenomenal and history will overall disregard the prime/sub-prime argument.

As someone said, top 50 is an conservative estimate. Pac's legacy was mainly built when he fought the big 3 (MAB, EM, JMM) at 126 to 130. What happens right now, if he wins only adds to his legacy, while if he loses won't tarnish it one bit because he is way above his best fighting weight.
