Is it crazy to rank Manny Pacquiao to rank inside top 15 all time?

First, if you are looking for Floyd Mayweather then you can't find him. I dont know where he ranks yet as i have not ranked any active fighter yet and I am trying to know your opinions as to where Manny deserved to be ranked. Below is my top 15 all time plus the list of the Ring, Bert Sugar and ESPN. By the way, right after Cotto lost to Manny, Sugar already ranked Pacquiao inside top 12 and so did the great Emannuel Estewart. My top 11-15 currently lists Gans, Fitzsimmons, Dempsey, Johnson and Moore. IMHO, Pac beat as much hall of famers as these 5, if not more.

Dempsey and Johnson are iconic but so is Manny. Fitzsimmons won titles in middleweight, heavy and light heavyweight and is such a great feat but Manny win lineals at flyweight, featherweight, jr lightweight, jr welterweight and welterweight. This is still greater not to mention Manny also won major titles from 3 other divisions earning him 8 titles in 8 different divisions. Manny also beat 6 first ballot HOFs Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar Dela Hoya, Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto. 2 other boxers he beat Timothy Bradley and Ricky Hatton are possible HOFs too making it a probable total of 8. He also have wins vs notable boxers Sasakul, Ledwaba, Rios, etc. Nobody expected a tiny Asian to dominate this much. This man dominated lighterweights with literally just his left hand until he finally met Roach. Armed with skills and now a 2-fisted wrecking machine he was able to conquer higher weights his fellow FAB 4 members morales, marquez and barrera unable to duplicate despite Manny starting from an even lighter weight. To sum up this man's career, we may not see another man to win another 8 in 8 and 5 in 5.
