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

[bojangles1987]

Oh, ok. I didn't see it, just read the thread title and commented. I'll have to check it out.

The interviewer asked Pac about the greatest fighters ever, Pac said including me, the interviewer said yes including you, and Pac said, pretty obviously not that seriously, of course its me.

Floyd would have said the exact same thing without a smile


Being the best boxer on the planet includes unshakable confidence



on another note

if floyd litterally won't get in the ring with the man
why compare the two?


it looks like the fight's never going to materialize and itl be the biggest fight in the sport's history that never happened

I don't see what the issue is with both of them claiming there the best obviously that was both of there goals when they got into boxing they have been boxing for 20+years all that dedication what else do you expect them to say? I have no issue with it, Ali said it just after he beat Liston before he had done even close enough to prove the claim.

Ali said it just after he beat Liston before he had done even close enough to prove the claim.

True. Ali called himself the greatest but he never said he was greater than Sugar Ray Robinson (which is what Floyd did). I think that's what riles people up. It's not his claim that's he's the greatest, it's the claim that he's better than Sugar Ray Robinson.

The klitschkos did quite a bit for the sport even tho most anti europeans here will disagree with me.There is plenty of boxers who are on the same level as him if not higher.But unfortunately it seems from what I've read so far on here most posters don't follow boxing they follow a specific fighter.And yes him calling himself the greatest is just silly.Sugar ray robinson did more in a year when he went to europe than floyd and pac in their whole boxing career.

++no disrespect to the klitschko's but they fights only at heavyweight and right now there aren't plenty of good opposition in that weight category unlike during the era of ali or tyson..you also said that there are plenty of fighters that are on the same level of pac. but then again, pac is the only one who holds the distinction of having 7 division and 4 linear weight champ in his resume..i can't delve on sugar ray robinson's career coz i wasn't born in that era.but i have a question to you? srl and past boxer may have fought more than a 100 fights before but out of the 100's how many % of that fights do you think are fought with a good if not equal opposition? it would be foolish of you if you think that all 100+ of them are good opposition isn't it?

[IMDAZED]

Uhh...of course he is. Wouldn't you?

Christ, what's next?

Is Pacquiao human?

[KnockoutKings]

lol he sounds like floyd! "Money" Pacquiao!!

[the niggest]

Pac have become just as delusional as his fanboys...

[Tata Moran]

Big f#cking deal.. who gives a **** if he thinks he is the greatest, that is his opinion. Regardless if he was joking or not, any fighter would best believe that they are the greatest in order for them to be the greatest.

Give the guy a break.

[shade darkar]

well he has got to be right up there hasnt he! maybe his achievments says he is, but personally i think mayweather is the best "boxer".
