Where will Mayweather be rated all time greatest wise if he beats Pacquaio?

[TheBranMan]

people will say Manny was too small and that Floyd hasn't fought any big guys cause he's a chicken shit, Floyd could go beat Pacquiao, Mosley, Berto, Williams, Martinez, and Pavlik back to back, and yet they'll find a way not to give him credit

Where you been? People have been saying that for years

As for the rest of that post, Mosley, Berto and Williams should already be on a GREAT fighters resume who has been at 147 the past few years, no?

You know how wrong you are with these silly comments. He has took the easy route for fucking ages and it all goes againsed him when you are talking greatness.

again like i said, no matter who he beats he wont get credit, like right now he's already supposedly agreed to fight Pacquiao, yet he's still getting thrashed for it, it's ridiculous

Reading these forums, I'd have to agree with you. There are people putting Manny's name ahead of Leonard, Ali and dare even mention, Robinson... yet even if Floyd knocks Manny out, people are already coming up with excuses to exclude him from the greats. Yes, he has a mouth, & yes he has had some easy fights (every fighter has... David Diaz... cmonn), but he has proved time and time again that his skills are far superior to the best big/strong and quick/little fighters. People just don't want to give him ANY credit.

For me, depending on the manner in which he beats Pac, and his career that follows, I could see a comfortable top-20 ATG position for him (which is still a great honor). If he goes on to beat the winner of Mosley/Berto, PWill and maybe one other good fighter, I could even argue top 10. Although, as always, I'm sure the haters will find some excuse there. I'm starting to see why he's so cynical of the sport
