Ray Robinson, Pacman, Ali Is Third-"Greatest Ever"Voting Over, Debate Begins

[Gutz]

True *******, calling people haters because they dont agree with a poll that says Pacquiao is the 3rd Greatest of all time.

No body on BS scene even knew this poll existed until those ****** examiner articles and pinoy sites pooped up back in December with results of Pacquiao being 3rd best. I dont know if you understand what it means for that site to have a ranking of 1,992,328. 500,000 of made up numbers, Al Bernstein owns that website, I assure you he can say what ever he wants.

How many more times am I going to have to tell you that it ranks 1,992,328? Boxingscene ranks 6,465. You do the math.

****ing Flickers.

I call people haters.. cause they hate.. I'm a pac fan. But i dont agree with the article.


But if you read the post mostly from Floyd fans or Pac Haters.. They are saying **** like Pac a Bum.. He not even a HOF.. which I find pretty damn funny..

lmfao..this is getting plain ******

[JoanRose Bacosa]

Pac is ATG.

[Verstyle]

How come I wasn't or a lot of people on here apparently aware of this poll? Bet it was a bunch of casual boxing fans.

[Boxin']

there's no doubt by now that pacquiao has surpassed alis greatness and on his way to becoming THE greatest of all time by continuing to accomplish incredible things. inevitably he'll surpass sugar as well when all is said and done. we all know that's the truth and i'm glad to see pacquiao getting acknowledged and recognized before he retires. most fighters' greatness don't get recognized until they're retired and by future generations.

i hope you are trolling.

You just witnessed GREATNESS...

[hammerhiem]

This isn't a debate, it's people with no respect or knowledge of boxing or it's history jumping **** first onto the latest bandwagon.

Pac is ATG no doubt but he's not top ten, much less top 3.

[Championart]

Article is disrespectful, so so disrespectful. This goes to show you the level of Boxing knowledge and comprehension that Pac fans who voted for him and that are cosigning this article have. Neither Mayweather, Pac, Tyson, De la Hoya, Mosley, Hopkins, Calzaghe are top 10 greatest of all time NONE of them.

First off if we are going to talk about the greatest fighter ever... In any weight division you have to start with Joe Louis and move forward from there in my opinion...

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.

How is Hamed being a better featherweight than Pac hard to understand? Not better P4P, only a better featherweight. Do you know what featherweight means? It means the 126 pound division. OK?

Think about this for a minute: Pacquiao had a total of four whole fights at FW. Just four. He beat one great fighter there. Only one.

He drew with arguably the best FW he fought, which was Marquez, as Marquez was arguably better than MAB but didn't have the fights to prove it. After all, Pac won only two or three rounds at most and got rather owned after the first three KD's.

Apart from those two fights, he fought Serikzhan Yeshmagambetov. Don't know who he is either. But his record was 15-7-3. The other dude was Fahsan 3K Battery who wasn't bad, but he wasn't good either. In fact he was pretty **** all things considered.

That was the total of Pac's FW career. Marquez (draw), Barrera (win) and two nobodies. He had three wins all up at FW. Just three wins altogether. How the **** can that rate higher than someone who spent their whole career there, unified the titles, made four times as many title defenses as Pac had fights at that weight, beat legends of the FW division such as Wilfredo Vazquez, Vuyani Bungu, Manuel Medina, and Tom Johnson.

Do you see what I did there? I put four FW greats up there that he beat. Pac beat one and only had four fights total at the weight. I only put four just to show how easy it is. Hamed beat four FW greats, made 15, 16 something defenses, unified the titles, won the linear championship and only lost once there. Apart from that, he beat many more champions (ie. the Cotto's, Hattons, Solis', Sasakul's of the day) too. Surely you remember the Kevin Kelley fight? What about the Wayne McCullough fight? What about the undefeated Damiel Alicea or the undefeated Remigio Daniel Molina (he went on to fight Marquez and Morales just afterward)? What about Steve Robinson?

Yes?

Don't get me wrong. One of my favourite fights is MAB owning the ***, but PAc has also been knocked out twice, lost by decision to an old Morales and very arguably twice to Marquez. Not only that, but he only had four goddamned fights at featherweight so how can he be better than Hamed!

Aiyaiyaiyaiyai.
