Ring Magazine's Top 10 Boxers of the Century revealed Floyd Mayweather as just SIXTH, but higher than Pacquiao

Cliff Rold, Ring Magazine's Ring Magazine writer, has placed Floyd Mayweather Jr. significantly higher than Manny Pacquiao.

Ring Magazine has compiled a list listing the 100 greatest boxers over the past 100 year. Manny is just below Pacquiao at number 6, while Mayweather Jr. was at number 6.

Mayweather and Pacquiao fought 2015 in what is, to this day, one of the most lucrative boxing matches in the history. It generated PS470 million in gate receipts and pay-per-view.

Mayweather won the victory via unanimous decision at MGM Grand Las Vegas, in a fight that was called the "Fight Of The Century".

The Ring spoke out about how they created their ranking system.

"A win over the champion in one's weight class in a title fight or non-title fight was worth 11 points. A No. 10 points, etc.

"Losses work in reverse.

For a loss to the champion, a one-point deduction was applied sliding to 11 for a loss at the No. 10 contender."

Both Pacquiao and Mayweather have retired after amazing careers.

After a thrilling showdown with Conor McGregor, UFC star, Mayweather, 45 was forced to end his professional career.

Money was able to hang up his gloves after scoring a TKO victory in the tenth round over The Notorious. This win brought his professional record to 50-0.

In the meantime, Pacquiao, an eight-time world champion, closed the curtains on his legendary career in September.

After suffering a defeat by Yordenis Ugas, WBA welterweight champion, Pacman decided to hang up his gloves.
