Oh, no, not right now. I mis-interpreted the question.

The problem lies with what peoples perception of Greatness is.
If Chavez Jnr retired now, someone ****head would call him great.

Manny Pacquiao
Winky Wright
Bernard Hopkins
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
and Carlos Baldomir

Joking about Baldomir.

I think Hopkins and Wright still are, even though they are old, because they have styles that don't rely on their bodies carrying them. They use their ring knowledge, or stellar defense to win fights for them. No matter how old you are, you can keep your hands up like Winky does, and I still haven't figured out how Bernard Hopkins gets everyone else to play his game in the ring, but I know it's probably not too physically taxing to do so.

Baldomir is one of the greats.

Pacquiao knocked out Barrera and Morales twice, and did some impressive **** to Marquez before getting some impressive **** done back to him, but I think that resume, along with his insane amount of power for his weight class probably would make him considered a great.

[Tysonisgod]

so 2 wins and a draw and some power makes him a great? i stick with what i said man, yea it was huge that he beat Morales and Barrera, but we will need to see if he can beat him again and get a fight with Marquez
