If he would have beaten Floyd I'd say he would undeniably be #1. Otherwise I'd say there are good arguments for Sweet Pea or Pac.

Thinking about it now it's not easy to pick between Whittaker or Pacquiao.
EDIT: Fortunately this poll is a multi-option poll for some reason. I voted for both "yes he is" and for "no sweet pea is"

so what's your opinion?? and let's hope this thread does not turn out as another pissing contest between pac and the other guy
Sweet Pea may or may not be but one thing for sure sweet pea>>>#48

he NEVER left middleweight division lol.
he lost to a natural welterweight, coming off of 2 of his best wins in mugabi and thomas hearns.
leonard didnt get old, but hagler did.
leonard's style is more reliant on his age than hagler if anything. srl relied on his speed, and thats the first to go.

Before people make polls they should at least add sufficient options. Plus a lot of people on this site don't study boxing past 5 years ago so its hard to have a conversation about "all time" when people only know "their time"

But publicly he gave Marquez credit! Tight socks is a legit issue!

close decisions, dodging drug testing, and still being considered top 5 p4p after being outboxed and knocked out several times
Now he is place in history is being viewed more realisitically....he was one of the best of his era and and an all-time great....he just wasn't the level of fighter the media tried to make him out to be.....Im sorry but he was not fighter of the decade in the 2000s in my opinion.....He never beat Juan Manuel Marquez clearly...not even once....and got outboxed my a past prime erik morales and didn't beat him until Zahir Raheem did it first at a better weight.Last edited by therealpugilist; 12-11-2015, 11:03 AM.
