    Oh man its an opinion and not a popular one at that but everyone has one. Hell there are a few who actually believe Pac won. Some spend hours watching the fight in so-mo to try to justify it

    The pac fans need this. They know they are wrong and Floyd is better but they cant let it go. Its embedded in their souls which is scary cause its a sport and a fighter but some live for Pac and to hate Floyd.

    Like i said envy is an ugly thing.

      oh please.

      spare me your beta sensibilities.

      doug got emailed by a boxing fan a question.

      he obliged a fan with an honest take. how can you imply that to be "unprofessional"?

      i wish more writers and athletes did that.

      why not? we are in the social media age.

          Just cant help but laugh at the desperation. Pac lost and lost big but go ahead and play fantasy that Pac is better.
          Hearns lost to Iran Barkley twice, once by knockout does that make Iran Barkley greater than Hearns?

            No but it doesnt make Pac better than Floyd either. But i try not to debate this subject and just will let you keep living the fantasy. Pac fans need something to go on

            And honestly the desperation makes NSB a little more interesting

              Fischer makes an excellent case, not sure why you're complaining. He says from the start it depends on what your criteria is which is saying it's gong to vary from person to person. If you find that being undefeated is more important, then you're going to rate Floyd higher. Fischer on the other hand sees more value in the opponents Pacquiao faced and thus ranked Pac higher for that time period.
              Which is why I have no issue with him picking Pacquiao, my issue is his reasoning for Floyd...its biased horrible.

                More like you can't refute the claim, you say Floyd won head to head (debatable) but just as many great fighters lost to lesser fighters head to head due to circumstance, psychical disadvantages, and just having off nights.

                You believe Floyd is greater and I say okay but I say Manny is greater and you say I'm crazy. Get over it man Manny resume is better and that's what I prefer when ranking alll time greatness. I don't know your criteria nor do I care.

                    Sure sure. Sounds like excuses to me but hey this is how you rate

                    Everyone knows it isnt true but there are some you can cling onto and live this dream

                      It wouldn't even question him on his "Opinion" that is HIS OPINION and he is more than entitled to it. Fans are extremely confused when it comes to what is Facts and what are Opinions. Never understand why people would get upset over someones Opinion on certain things like P4P Rankings and ATG Rankings
