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

[jrosales13]

Manny has backed it up and has a legit claim.

A legit claim of what exactly?

[ThePrince]

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.

Personally I have it:

Pac

Hopkins
Floyd
Jones

I think BHop's quality of opponents and wins after he turned 40 are more impressive than Floyd's last 5 years. If he wins against Pascal then that just adds a big exclamation to his resume and accomplishments.

Floyd beat the number 1 130lber in corrales. The #1 lightweight in castillo number#1 WW in baldomir/shane mosley #1 JWW in ricky hatton(granted at ww) and beat the #1 JMW in Oscar. Manny beat david diaz, a faded cotto(at catchweight), and is fighting a ****ty marg in a made up division thats closer to WW than JWW.
Floyd>Manny and i have a case for it, not just talkin out my ass

[brick wall]

what's the argument really? when floyd proclaimed himself the greatest ever his fans defended him while non-floyd fans lambasted him.
now pac said he believes he's the goat do you expect pacfans to turn their backs on him? of course not. why are floyd fans getting ***** hurt? pac will always get more love than floyd because floyd choose to play the villain role.

[dorruel2.0]

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

word. i agree, nowif he were to beat Floyd tho things would change in a heart beat and vice versa

care to enlighten?

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

that he is no doubt

Well shit, why not mentioned that Pac beat the #1 at flyweight in Sasakul, beat the #1 at SBW in Ledwaba, beat the #1 at featherweight in Barrera, beat the #1 at SFW in JMM, beat the #1 at JWW in Hatton(granted at JWW).

And, LOL @ Oscar being #1 at 154 at best he was #5 at the time. He was the biggest name, the biggest money, but no he was the best, not considered, and not even rank #1. Just with that statement of Oscar I have to say yes you're talking about of your ass.

No, not even... Maybe with a Floyd win he can become top 20 but not top 10.... Too many great fighters throughout history who did a lot of great things.

Nah... Floyd resume at 130-135 and with his win over Mosley(which kills me that he really doesn't get credit for) is much better than Hopkins whole career. However, if B-hop beats Pascal then a case can seriously be made IMO.

I can't see how anybody can have B-Hop over Roy Jones. I just don't see it.
