Manny Pacquiao is the GOAT.

[QueensburyRules]

there will be even more multi division champions in the future. I don't like this whole 4 belt , 17 weight class era ****. Not to take anything away from Manny, but what Hank Armstrong did will NEVER be replicated again. NEVER. And he did it in an era with same day weigh ins. So no, Manny, nor floyd, are better than Armstrong.

- - What Manny did for boxing can never be replicated either, ie 6 division titles while traversing 8 divisions setting P4P records never to be broken while wrecking the Amigos and the Crack Daddy Floydy Family.

He's not top 10 either. and neither is Floyd. The "wbo belt era", as I call it, is like the era when all kids get a trophy. Especially considering the WBA has mutiple titles. It's crazy. It was bad enough with just 3 titles after the IBF became a major title in the 80s, but now it's just all the way out of control. Then manny has all of that "catchweight" nonsense. No, he's not a top 10 fighter all time. Boxing has over a hundred year history. It's not like the NBA or NFL. And even as a die hard Patriots fan, I have always said Tom Brady is not the greatest qb ever in this puzzy era of football not being able to touch a qb.

I think they’re both firmly in the top 10 tbh. It depends on criteria, but you can make a very strong case for both as top 10.

I also have Brady as the GOAT QB but will admit I’m nowhere near as educated on NFL as I am on boxing. For me personally, his longevity stands above any other QB as do his accomplishments.

Vs his two most significant opponents, Pac is 2-1-2 with two razor thin wins, a draw, a lopsided decision loss and an out cold KO loss. Can’t be the GOAT like that.

Brady? Forget the longevity. Tom has 7 super bowl rings (more than any other player or franchise), that tells the story.

Ha ha Pac would beat every one Floyd fought, and if common opponents is anything to go by he did. Floyd would have beat everyone Pac fought but only problem is he didnt.
Floyd didn't beat morales, barrera, bradley, jmm x3 times like Pac did

Bu!!shyte! Pac ain’t beating Canelo.

What’s up with Filipinos bombing the boxing scene page with Manny the goat threads?? They’re spamming the site.

You watched that run up from DIAZ to Cotto, Marg and the lot, that was nuts. All those fights weren't even close.

Big Pacquiao fan but it’s not as impressive as what Robinson and other greats done. You’ve got to also remember guys like Robinson and Armstrong were The Champion in every division they fought in, lineal and undisputed. Pacquiao has 4 or 5 lineal championships but never became undisputed. He also never beat the same level as opposition as some of the other greats. Take SRL for example, undefeated Benitez, undefeated Hearns, 70-1 Duran, Hagler who had dominated 160 for the best part of a decade. Pac has a tremendous resume in his own right but it’s simply not on that level.

Pac is easily a top 10 ATG, but he’s not the GOAT. I mean that in the most respectful way possible too, I love Pac he’s a true legend.

Yes but how many foreign fighters were there back in the day ? The Eastern Euros were not competing.

Let's look at the facts, shall we?

• Only 7-8 division world champion
• Wins over Barrera, Morales, Ledwaba, Thurman, Mosley and De La Hoya
• Fighter of the Decade
• Oldest WW champion in history

I don't see how he ISN'T the GOAT.

Thurman was aight (considering the poor performance and layoff). That super flash KD saved him.

It was set up if you know boxing and how things went down, fans only see a fight and follow the hype which is created for fans and around it goes, the vast majority have no clue what they are actually seeing let alone the weights and measures, opponents prior form etc etc that's the stuff left out of the hype, fans don't see nor understand any of the shenanigans that create winners before a punch is thrown.
