    Post your Top 10 List please.
    if they want to quote Bert Sugar and Larry Merchant, they should mention Bert Sugar only has Pacquiao at #25

      Like i need to answer to you.

      If you say pac is out side the TOP 10. Give me 10 names that accomplish more than Pacquiao and lets debate on it.


      only 3 guys are clear cut above Pac and that is SRR, Armtrong and Ali.


      so you only need 7 names. Name it.

          Pretty sure he's just talking about Pac's accomplishments through multiple divisions. Fighting style wise the comparison doesn't really stick. And Floyd I guess is the Whitaker of this era, a smart guy who finds ways to outwit his opponents tactically and is brilliant on defense.

            Why? because he always gets beaten in major fights. Pac always managed to shock everyone in his biggest fights.


            WBO 160? lol He has claims in 5 weight divisions.

                So without naming Ali, Armstrong and SRR.

                How about this list.

                Pep, Louis, Greb, Benny Leonard, Charles, Duran, SRL, Dempsey, Johnson, and Langford thats 10 But I couldve kept going.

                  we can say the same for Pacquiao, the ring has only been recognised in the last few years....Freddie Roach even said it himself......i thought we were talking about accomplishments, not losses.....De La Hoya is a 6 weight division champion, Pacquiao has lost 3 times, drawn twice and been knocked out twice

                    Fighter of the decade?

                      I say Pac's accomplishment is better than a few of those guys.

                      I'll start with the bolded one.

                      Pac > Charles. WTF??!!! Can you tel mel how did you get that name in there?
