Pacquiao Was Just Joking... Backs Off GOAT Comments

[ThePrince]

During Sunday's interview with 60 minutes, Pacquiao was quoted as saying that he was the sport's premiere fighter of all time. On Monday, however, Pacquiao backed off of that assertion.

"I don't think I'm the best of all time. I just wanted to be a world champion, and that's my goal. There are lots of great fighters. Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Julio Caesar Chavez -- those are some of the best ever," said Pacquiao, adding that one of his dream bouts would be one opposite Leonard.

"With the speed he [Leonard] had, I think that would be a very good fight," said Pacquiao. "It would be a very good fight, me and him in his prime. That fight would get a lot of pay-per-view buys."

It was fairly obvious he was being tongue-in-cheek.

[DARKSEID]

not only was it just a joke, but he released an apology to make sure nobody misunderstood.

can we move on now

[NesNY]

Yeah really.

Only Floyd gets to call himself the greatest ever without having to prove it.

=x

I don't see why people care. Is it now a crime to have high self worth?

PAc concluded the interview with 'Its all love baby'

He heard Arum saying and thinking highly of him as a GOAT. He has too much respect for Arum so has no other choice than follows the river flow but as you can see he was joking about it.

[Pacquiao'd]

sure. not to mention, you said that arum probably told him to say it. bwahaha *scratches head*
