Bert Sugar - "Manny Pacquiao is the best Southpaw of All Time"

[Ravishing]

Bert Sugar: "While it is never been my habit to include a fighter who is still fighting, because I can not judge his entire career and/or where his prime was (his prime is where I judge) I think Manny Pacquiao is making one helluva case to be included. He's not only the greatest Asian fighter of all time, but the greatest lefthanded fighter of all time. But I will wait until I see where his next fights take him. I will wait on Mayweather. And, depending on July 18, Marquez."

That's saying alot from someone as respected as Bert.

Your thoughts...

the man said it, his opinion counts

I dont respect Bert, but it's still nice to hear one of today's fighters getting credit from a dude who could be Don Knott's brother. Usually older fight "historians" don't have much respect for current fighters.

He done smoke one too many stogies.

I gotta see the evidence backing his claim.
