    His knowledge of the sport, maybe. His opinion of fighters? Absolutely not.

      Why because you don't like his opinion about Roy?

        I don't rank by H2H fantasy match up and some of your breakdowns I utterly disagree with.

        But, props for responding to every fighter I mentioned.

            That's your criteria. I usually use that but as Jofre and Wilde are the GOAT in their weight class IMO which both have a deep history I is a key reason behind why I and many others rank them higher than Pacqiauo. That's without Jofre's utter dominance over Top competition and Wilde's longevity.

            Multiple weight classes doesn't automatically mean anything in my view, I mean, Oscar holds the 2nd highest record for that and I don't even have him in my Top 70 probably.

            I mean, by that logic you would suggest Oscar is higher than those 2. Which surely you don't agree with.

            I can't see how someone could rank Pacqiauo above Monzon who as you know only ventured in one weight class as opposed to Pacqiauo's many.
            Going up in weight is just a small extra credit sort of thing to me, its not what defines his greatness, but it certainly counts.

            Jofre's dominance is overstated. overall he beat about as much top competition as Pacquiao has, and lost to the best fighter he ever faced. classic example of a guy getting rated highly for how good he looked...despite the fact that his best wins arent as good as wins over Barrera.

            Wilde's longevity is also overstated. he had a lot of fights, yes, but a lot of his wins were over weak competition. and his professional career didnt last that long either, shorter than Pacquiao's. he also was fighting top competition for a sohrter amount of time than did Pacquiao, who has been fighting world class opponents for 12 years now, which is almost the equivilant to Wilde's entire career.

            I dont rate someone like JCC highly because he went undefeated over 80 something fights. I rate him highly because he beat a lot of high calibur opponents. Having 100+ wins doesnt add much to your greatness to me, its all about level of opposition.

              No, mainly because he says things such as Shane Mosley is a 'master jabber' and things of that nature.

              Which is up there with Al Bernsteins view that Andre Ward is the next Sugar Ray Leonard.

                So there are only SIX fighters in the long history of boxing that are better than Pac...a guy that can't even fight on the inside or move his head??

                Fuuck outta' here Mannysexual...lol...

                  Much like Roy in the generation before him, Pac is dominating. Not in the same fashion Roy did, but Roy was a different monster altogether. But Pac is definitely top 25-30, along with Roy Jones as well. But remember.....Max Kellerman said Roy was the best of alltime as well, and a year and a half later it was all over. Not a good thing when Max says that. But, I like Max though

                      That's why I watch fights with the volume down or the music up.
