Pacquiao is...........

[Khalid X]

I've been watching boxing since I was 5 and Manny is the greatest fighter I have ever seen. I've seen sweat pea, Roy, and others.

My family (huge boxing fans) raised me on watching tapes of Hearns, leonard, duran and others, and truthfully.......Manny is better than all of those guys. None of those guys dominated their opposition the Manny has, and while most don't realize what's going on, 20 years down the road you will wake up and realize you were witnessing greatness.


BTW I don't rate Manny higher than them due to them having better resumes, but none of them have been as dominate as Manny against their opposition.

If you feel that way about floyd, how does manny beating him make manny the greatest ever? are you really admitting without admitting it that floyd is really the best of this generation?

floyd is the cherry on a cake.....even after the cotto fight expert had pac on top 5 atg already.......ive never heard experts say floyd is one of them greats , to tbh....but ive heard them say he's got the skills, just not the resume!

LOL, it doesn't matter if he missed a lot? Well that was the whole point of my statement that he made Oscar look silly at times. A prime Oscar at thought against a past prime Whitaker.

And, you say Whitaker didn't do anything. But, WTF did Oscar do? Not a damn thing either but missed a lot. And, Oscar face after the fight disagrees with you that Whitaker didn't do anything.

And, so what does it mean that Whitaker was in his early 30's? Age doesn't determine prime. Vargas was in his 20's when he was done, Morales and Barrera were 30 when they were done, Hopkins was 35 and at his best. Age doesn't determine anything really. Oscar was at his best and prime and Whitaker wasn't he was past prime. And, still deserve the nod over Oscar just like he deserved the nod over Roger.

No, Hatton did/does not have more fame than Gatti... WTF are you on? Are you serious? There is a reason why Gatti was reg HBO as much as he was. If by fame is your standards then JMM doesn't belong in there. And, yes Gatti had more fame than Hatton. Don't be ridiculous. Hell Corrales and Castillo just with there first fight have more fame than Hatton does.

It sure doesn't and I agree, Pea won that fight against Oscar.

I can smell the sarcasm.

Great thread.

Another hater who's got nothing but give other people gray haha.

Stop it. I gave manny his props. Its just disengenuous to act like Manny winning a fight where he was a 5-1 favorite is a measure of his all time greatness. I said he wasn't as good as floyd, sweet pea, leonard, hagler, duran, chavez, or ricardo lopez, but deserves props for doing something no man has or can. What more do you want me to type?

You talking about skills when the man is talking about greatness. Ricardo Lopez is way more skilled than Pac, Pac is way greater than Lopez. That is why I called you Dunce cuz you don't get that. So stop it...

And, you acting like Pac have not won fights when being the underdog. So stop it.

WTF does it mean that he was favorite? So what.... Floyd has been favorite in all his fights but one and or two... So by your own logic what Floyd has done is not that impressive? Floyd was what like a 4-1 or maybe even 5-1 also favorite over Shane Mosley? So, Floyd shouldn't get any praises for his performance against Shane cuz he was such a favorite? GTFOH... Just stop it...

I didnt know a win over a faded Margarito makes you the GOAT.

Man this section of the forum is garbage.

[jrosales13]

It sure doesn't and I agree, Pea won that fight against Oscar.

There is no way Oscar won more than 5 rounds in that fight.

Like I said Whitaker IMO is the greatest fighter I have ever seen in my lifetime.

I wasn't alive/or just too little to remember when Duran and Leonard were in there primes doing there thing.

he doesnt just do it with power
he doesnt just do it with speed
he doesnt just do it with footwork
he doesnt just do it with combos
he doesnt just do it with skills

He does it with everything

Are you suggesting Manny is better because he dominated lesser competition in a better way? Are we rating Manny's demolition of Hatton ahead of Duran winning a UD vs SRL? or ahead of roy UD over Toney?

Please explain.

Pac demolition of Barrera in the first fight can equate to Roy UD over Toney. If not then it comes close to it.
