Manny is the only ATG who is elite in all 6 of the following:
1. Great speed (hand and feet)
2. Great reflexes
3. Great stamina
4. Great power (carried through 8 weight classes)
5. Great chin (stopped only once in last 20 years vs bigger men)
6. Physical longevity (still strong and fast in his 40s)
Other ATGs:
Roy Jones lacked a great chin, Mayweather/Ali/Whitaker/Pep lacked power, Cotto lacked stamina, Duran/SRL/SRR lacked Pac's physical longevity (all no longer elite after 35), Chavez Sr lacked reflexes/speed, Hearns lacked a great chin, Tyson lacked stamina, Louis/Foreman lacked speed, Klitschko/Lewis lacked chin, Ward lacked power, Golovkin lacked handspeed/reflexes, Canelo lacks footspeed/stamina, etc....
"Lack" doesn't mean they suck, just not elite like Manny.
Manny is the only who is elite in all 6 categories. His one weakness is his defense but that's not a physical attribute.
Physically, Manny Pacquiao has the best genetics of all time. The man was built for boxing.
That's why he is 8 division champ.
