Pacquiao: "I am the GREATEST fighter that ever lived" (from 60 Minutes)

[grayfist]

I think it's very likely that it was meant as a joke. And lol at the *******s and *****s both assuming that it was definitely meant to be taken literally. It's not even as if he said he was greater than any specific fighter from the past. And unlike Floyd, and unlike some of the *******s in this thread, he has never tried to downplay the achievements of past greats.

Hullo Dave. Yup, I've met a lot of Cebuanos doing stuff like that and whenever they did, it became reason for raucous laughter to follow among those around. Good seeing you here again, pal.

Pac was cornered and said that shit tongue in cheek.

You people are sensitive ass little ******ed ****s.

[Makalebron]

bunch of sad little ****s

I agree. For example i rate Duran > Ali. Not many lists do that. I do this because i feel he lost all three to Norton and also lost to Young, which puts Duran above him.

Neither Duran nor Ali are in contention among boxing historians for the #1 spot. Ray Robinson is almost universally regarded as the #1. Some historians regard Greb as #2, some Armstrong. The highest you'll see Ali in respectable lists is #4, and he is often outside the top 5. The highest you'll see Duran is #7.

Talking of losses though, Duran had some bad ones too, most notably Kirkland Laing, but also a devastating knock-out loss to Hearns. The "no mas" counts against him as well.

And you can say that Young deserved to get the decision against Ali, but to say he got it when he didn't is just silly.

[_original_]

Every professional boxer should think that of themselves, they need any mental edge for their confidence

Plus Pacquiao was clearly just messing around, he's got a very light personality.....always joking around

look at this butt hurt old timer. stop with the glorification of god like status to old school boxing just for the sake of preserving your history.


Plenty of modern boxers that would have ran destroyed fighters from the alleged golden age of boxing. Every sport's greatest participants have come from the modern age. Boxing is no different.

The only reason why boxing seems different is the old guards penchant for marginalizing modern fighters in order to preserve their hero's of their time.


quite disgusting & disingenuous.


GTFO with that Harry Greb bull****. Have you seen the guy fight?

[MidnightBliss]

Floyd says hes the greatest with anger and shaking heads lol

[tocayito1]

None of these guys know shit. They weren't alive when these guys were fighting and don't know nothing about their careers outside of second hand knowledge and boxing mythology. I laugh at their alleged attempts at understanding.

Harry Greb??

I mean seriously, GTFO already. Most of these old timers are overrated one dimensional tough guys.

Show me a clip of Harry Greb being awesome Dave Rado.

I dare you, you Dr. Gyromite looking mother****er.
