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

[j]

yeah, frank stallone may be a better historian. he actually has a section on his website where he invites u to ask him questions pertaining to boxing history.

I honestly can't see how you could rate Pac over Pernell

Pernell beat 3 hall of famers and shudda got the W over Chavez.

Pacquiao couldn't find Pernell if you gave him a map.

He's up there, but maybe not the best.

[Lady Fan]

The Pacman isn't just the best lefty of this-time, that-time, part-time or full-time; he's the best lefty of all time. Hehehe... JAT

i cant stand bert. dude is friggin stuck in his own world. i have seen enough of bert to know how he thinks.

but, he is right that pac should be highly respected as such.


and he should have said "asian boxer", not "asian fighter." big difference.

pac is the most accomplished boxer/fighter comin out of asia....boxer or fighter whatever the hell it is....

who else do u know? could u name some other names?

boxing is different than fighting. by that i mean fighting sports other than boxing. as well as guys who people move across countries to train with.

I respect Bert, and I love Pac but I have to disagree here. He's definitly up there and conceivably be the best lefty ever...but to call it now...i dunno to soon for me. That being said Bert knows his ish.

Of course you can not see Pac.....he is not a black boxer

obviously your choice for your all time faves and top 3 today are: ALL BLACK boxers

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...

Honestly, I've never respected Sugar's opinion when it comes to rating fighters all time. I'm not alone either.
