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

[The Gambler1981]

How Manny rates himself is no big deal, he has devoted his life to the sport and done a great deal. Really any boxer in his position would always say the same thing.

[jrosales13]

He said it half-heartedly with a laugh.

Just because he didn't say Floyd Mayweather Jr you *****s don't have to get all butt-hurt about it.

In terms of accomplishments/achievements, he'd have a pretty good argument. IMHO I'd put SRR above him.

If he retired after the Marg fight, he wouldn't have an argument to be in the 10 ATG, let alone the GOAT.

[dorruel2.0]

he meant that he's the greatest of his era. that's what pac meant.

there's a language barrier here folks.

i dont eve think hes that. Floyd is the best of his rea. Floyd has been champ while Manny was getting koed in the phillipines. Im not even a floyd fan

[Left Hook Tua]

there is an argument for it... but personally I think SRR would beat him at WW.

any hof-level modern welterweight would beat pac.

probably most hof-level lightweights too.

Duran, leonard, Arguello, Chavez, Pep, Ali, all had better careers just to name a few. Manny is no doubt an atg but he has NO case that hes top5 atg

Pac accomplishment and resume IMO is far greater than Floyd.

Out of all the active fighters which include Pac, Jones, Floyd, and Hopkins. I would put Pac slightly ahead of Jones who would be ahead of Floyd who would be ahead of Hopkins. If all 4 retired today.

[ThePrince]

Great, now the *****s can jump on the Manny bandwagon since he showed some of that arrogance and inflated sense of self that gets them all hot and bothered. If Pac started throwing money at Bob Simon or did an inventory of his bling and told us how much he paid for it all, they'd bust a nut in their pants.

[dorruel2.0]

respond to what? That Duran is greater?

yes. That manny is not the goat like some say he is

[RichCCFC]

Manny has backed it up and has a legit claim.

[jrosales13]

yes. That manny is not the goat like some say he is

Of course he is not. Unless we're talking about the greatest Asian fighter of all time.
