Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Junior, Bernard Hopkins, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, Pernell Whitaker, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns probably all have more ability than Pacquiao etc
But Manny Pacquiao is right there with them all.
That's an impressive list and to even be mentioned in the same list as any of them proves he's special. To win in EIGHT different weight divisions is freakish :eek: - very special.
Thing is Freddy roach will tell you Pac is the best hes trained. I doubt hes even talking about achievements and resume and all that. Roach probably means seeing Pac up close, holding mitts for Pac and seeing what he can do in the gym.
Yes, 1000s even can claim their more slicksters and more skillful in their opinion. But it's about daring to be great isn't it and achievements and resume.
Not looking good in the gym in front of a mirror, but not having fought half as many excellent fighters as pac

Technically on pure ability, he is not the greatest fighter of all time.
There are multiple fighters who are greater than him, even in the past 30 years.

I mean people will have said jmm is a better boxer than pac. That's an opinion but pac being greater isn't an opinion it's fact.
