Could Pacquiao become "The Greatest"

[WhoreUs]

the bar has been raised up so high from past legends... so no...

hard for modern era fighters who fight 40-50 fights in their career to compete with guys who have 150 fights under their belts.

hell even though they have a lot of losses , the guys they lost to has 100 wins under their belt and are in the HOF to because of it.

If he can beat Cotto spectaculary, then yes he can become the greatest.

[K-Nan]

Honestly? Yes.. He'd have to beat Cotto/Floyd/Mosley and possibly a bigger man like Williams. That would make a big case for him.

[dans]

I don't think so.

[baracuda]

if he was american then yes he could!....

[PAKYO]

maybe just beating top 2 welterweights right now and maybe once in 154 lbs but thats too much to ask though coming from a flyweight division is too much fighting in a 154 lbs. if he can beat Cotto and Mosley then clean up the jr welterweight then you can make a case. but i dont want to see him beating those so easy because people make excuses if PacMan would destroy his opponents because haters would call Manny overrated or call his opponents SHOT, OLD, WEIGHT DRAINED, PAST HIS PRIME ETC ETC. maybe he is destined to be one of the greatest. we'll see next month. once he get past Cotto i wana see Mosley and Manny fight then retire from boxing.

He still won't be greatest if he fights mosley and wins. All he needs to do is skip on mosley, floyd, etc and fight PWill as his last one then he will become the greatest.

the greatest southpaw

im not saying the greatest but one of the greatest. What has Paul William done in his career for Manny to become the greatest if he beat Paul Williams? Williams is not even in top 100 boxers ever. he started 106 lbs. he shouldnt even be in a welterweight division but risking his career for the GLORY. he should be in a lightweight or jr welterweight. nobody has ever done what he has done. from flyweight fighting in a welterweight. that was just awesome. if he wasnt a skilled fighter he wouldnt be as successful.

[Pacdbest]

I know Pacquiao doesn't have the most flashy moves but with the way how he keeps fighting the top guys, can he become the greatest?

I already said he will around 2007 during the time I was on esb. I was laughed at & insulted left & right. I said he will beat Hatton, Jmm, DLH & PBF or Cotto to do that. Well... It's almost here. 2 more to go!!!

Here's some of them dec 2007:

And, yes, I speak English
I bet my House, My soul, My name, Pac KAYOs Hatton. I just watch PBF_Hatton in Slowmo. Hatton will turn into English Pinata. That will be Pac's Pinata for his 30th bday next year. Mark my words on This. This fight could happen end of next year or early 2009. Pac will retire Hatton. Is there any Bigger fight for hatton other than Pac 140 & Below???? This will happen... I can't wait.

After Pac retires Hatton, Floyd will come out of retirement just to fight Pac. Floyd got old & rusty, Pac got Bigger Physically, Pac will have a better chance, I give him 50-50 chance.

DLH-Pac only if DLH can make 147.
