Greatest Boxer of All Time: Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao

[HighFlyer]

As a general rule when a fighter moves up the weight classes two things happen:
1: Their ko ratio drops as the bigger guys can take their punchers
2: A fighter becomes slower as he carries the extra mass.

According to Mayweather sr, Paulie and who ever else, these thing haven't happened to Pac, so they believe there has to be a reason for them.

Pac cannot be called the greatest fighter of any era for two reasons:
1: He doesn't have the resume- you cannot compare guys like Morales to the Foremans and Listons of the world
2: He dosen't have the skills- Pac until recently was a one handed fighter, he doesnt have the skill set of a lot of the old guys. Guys who could fight going forwards and backwards, shoulder roll, feint, had a wider range of punches etc.

PACQUIAO HAVE THE SKILL TO BEAT ALL THIS FIGHTER WHO GOT THOSE SKILLS LOL

Neither Paulie or Mayweather have said that Pac is the greatest boxer that has ever lived. A lot of boxers have been accused of roids, that doesn't mean they are great boxers. Look at Evander Holyfield he was accused of roids in the early 90's, his heavyweight career is hardly legendary.

I swear Paul said if Pac beats Cotto, he MUST be the greatest boxer who ever lived!
Evander is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and he was a cruiserweight that is why was accused of being on roids, though not on Pacs level so your comparison is hardly impressive or relevant.

I can compare the Barreras, Morales and the JMMs and Hattons, and DLH with foreman and listons of this world. Even Ali said Foreman was like a mummy.

Ali was only a great long range fighter but what he did he did very well, just like Pac. So how come Ali can be called the greatest but pac cant be.
Pac is doing things very well that his punches lands on the chins of his opponents and they invariable go down after eating too many of the punches. Those guys that do the shoulder roles and feints sound like PBF. But did they beat anyone and do it in the ring. Any credit pac has got is by who he beat and how impressivley he beat them.

WOW...I've heard it all...PAC and Ali in the same sentence...Listen folks...Pac is a really good acurate powerful puncher for a small fighter...but Great...Let alone ATG...Are you kidding me...Let's take a look at some ATG's

Post 1980...I really don't need to go back that far.

Duran, SRL, Hearns, JCC, Sweet Pea would all beat the living daylights out of Pacman...Let alone a live ODLH at 147.
