Like the title says. Sorry if this has been asked before.
Bonus question: If he retires tomorrow, where would you rank him all time?
nothing. no moden fighter will ever be considered the goat given the amount of fights and fights against quality opponents that the SRR/ARmrstong etc etc of the world faced.
I personally dont do ATG lists. I usuall just rank those I've watched.Since Ive been watching boxing Manny is one of the 15-20 greatest I've seen.
pacquiao is already a GOAT candidate. in terms of achievements and cultural icon status, he's right up there with ali and srr. your question should be what can pacman do to solidify his claim as GOAT. one is to return the favor against marquez and the second is to deliver mayweather's first ever loss, preferably a ko
- Sometime soon KO Marquez
- End of 2013 KO Bradley if still champion, if not, just become champion again.
- Early 2014 beat winner of Floyd/Canelo
- Spend the rest of career unifying the welterweight divison.
Won't happen, but if it does, maybe he could be a GOAT candidate.
GOat is just an opinion to some he is already the goat. To convince more peoples hes the GOAT, who knows what he would have to do, but generally speaking a good basis for starting a discussion is having done something thats not been done before and Pac winning titles in 8 divisions is just that.
But the fact thats hes practically beaten his style nightmare JMM 3 times is pretty good IMO and further stregthens his case.....JMM is highly regared. Duran lost to kirland laing once. And im pretty sure if Duran fought Laing 4 more times, he would have lost to Laing that many times as well.
