[jrosales13]

Roy Jones over Archie Moore.

Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Michael Spinks.

I predicted Floyd was going to beat Hatton. You was not going out of the limb with that one.

Larry Merchant predicted a Pac-Oscar fight after the David Diaz fight. Before the Pac-JMM rematch took place. Schaffer and Arum was already talking about a potential Oscar-Pac fight so you really wasn't predicting anything.

Juan Diaz the fight before the Nate Campbell fight called out Pac. So again you was not really predicting anything

It was known that Hatton was going to go back down to 140 since he was not that good at 147. So again you didn't predict anything

Everybody really felt Floyd was not going to stay retired. So again you didn't really predict anything.

And, all this means **** cuz there is no way Pac is a top 3 ATG... And, this whole list is a joke...

I predicted that 2 years ago when Pac was still at 130. Now look for your prediction 2 years ago?? Let's see how did you said it???

Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Michael Spinks.

Yep, all far more deserving. And LOL at Joe Calzaghe being the 3rd greatest light-heavy ever.

It was going into the Hatton fight right? In Sep 2007 and right? The same time Arum and Schaffer were already having talks about a possible Pac-Oscar fight the following year right?

[jrosales13]

Yep, all far more deserving. And LOL at Joe Calzaghe being the 3rd greatest light-heavy ever.

Exactly is just ridiculous. I don't understand how anybody can take this list serious. Like why make an argument to try to defend it?

Lol @ the 3rd

I'd say the greatest.

WORLD'S GREATEST EVER BOXER ANNOUNCED

Sugar Ray Robinson is the Greatest Boxer the World has ever seen, according to fight fans worldwide. Muhammad Ali was voted as the Greatest Ever Heavyweight of all time, just beating Mike Tyson. Manny Pacquiao gathered the second highest number of votes in winning the Featherweight category, polling more than 50% of the vote.

"The selection of Ray Robinson as the Greatest Ever Boxer shows that fans of all ages understand the legend he created. In the individual weight categories the winners represented several eras. Robinson carried the banner of the 40's and 50's with his wins at middleweight and welterweight, and then the fans went up through the years with Roberto Duran, Muhammad Ali, Wilfredo Gomez, Ricardo Lopez, Roy Jones Jr and Manny Pacquiao as their selections," said Al Bernstein, a member of the nominations jury.

Fellow jury member Ron Borges said: "Well, now that the votes have been counted boxing fans have something new to argue about. Manny Pacquiao greater than Muhammad Ali? There's a generational battle for the ages. Yet one constant remains. For 60 years now one name has been listed above the rest - Sugar Ray Robinson - and so it remains today, after the finally tally of The Greatest Ever's worldwide balloting. Glad to see you can count on something is this world.''

Fans worldwide have been voting for their Greatest Ever fighters in the eight traditional weight categories of Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight. The nominated fighters were selected by a jury of boxing analysts - Al Bernstein, Tom Hauser, Ron Borges, Jean-Philippe Lustyk and Colin Hart. Over 500,000 votes have been cast since June at www.greatestever.com.

Im sorry but these are a bit off.
The votes are probably similar to the NBA all star game votes. The country the fighter is from has the numbers and thats how they get in.
Just like Yoa Ming. He has all of China backing him and gets in no matter what. Who ever has the numbers wins. All of Puerto Rico can vote for a PR fighter but half of the Filipinos or Mexicans or Americans can vote for their Favorite and PR always loses.

Offence wise Pac can handle Cotto. Pac has longer arms and a much faster guy. Power right now belongs to Cotto but we still have to see the stronger Pac at 135-147. Pac vs Diaz, Hatton/DLH will answer that.


That was an amazing prediction. That's a pinpoint prediction accuracy.

And, you know what bro. I am a huge Pac fan. I defend him as much as I can on here. But, when you say dumbass **** like Pac is top 3 ATG. It makes every Pac fan look like an idiot. Just stop it bro. Do your homework of the history of boxing. Before making such a statement.

[peyk-peyk]

tyson number 2 and manny being the greatest featherweight.

right.
