    Well that is why it should never be a fan based voting style. I think they should get the greatest and most respected minds in boxing and go off of their votes.

    FWIW I feel Barrera is higher at FW than Pacquiao. Yes pac won, but Barrera run at FW was one of the greatest runs in modern times

    My FW rankings
    1. Willie Pep
    2. Henry Armstrong
    3. Salvador Sanchez
    4. Sandy Saddler
    5. Marco Antonio Barrera
    6. Prince Naseem Hamed


    BTW Im a pac fan but how the **** is he the greatest FW off all time when he only had 4 fights there? He beat Barrera, had a draw against Marquez but his other two wins weren't nothing to brag about. Yes Manny is an all-time great but sometimes some of this just gets ridiculous.

    Top to bottom this is a great post. I agree 100%. Hes an ATG but Top 3? I mean lets get serious here. That voting just shows the lack of knowledge Pac fans have on boxing.

              I wouldnt take that website serious. It ranks 1,992,328 on Alexa. Just to give you a summary of how far off the ranks that website is, Boxingscene.com ranks 6,465.

              What about the rest of the fight, do you get tired of watching that?

                Over 500,000 votes worldwide have been tallied and the results are now in. What they prove is that while time marches on one constant remains in boxing – the unassailable greatness of Sugar Ray Robinson.

                While many might quarrel with the idea that Manny Pacquiao is a greater fighter than Muhammad Ali, as the voters in The Greatest Ever Boxer competition decided by putting the Filipino Flash ahead of Ali in the vote for all-time greatest boxer, no one could eclipse Robinson, who fought his last fight 44 years ago and has been dead for 20 years yet lives on not only in the minds of fight fans but in the deep respect held for his vast set of skills.
                wtf? pacquiao is not the filipino flash

                  Hamed over Pacquiao is a joke.

                  If Pac's accomplishments at FW weren't good enough I don't see how anything Hamed accomplished at that weight was better.

                  You can make a case for the rest of them though.

                      co-sign bro, pac really deserved all of this and i very much agree on the list. MANNY PACQUIAO
