Would you consider Pacquiao one of the best offensive fighters of all time?

Originally posted by Floyd is TBE View PostNo, I'm just not a Pacquiao dick rider. Floyd is considered one of the best defensive fighters ever because he shut down the best. He moved and nullified the offense of the greatest fighters. Pac needed catchweights, Pac is not a great body puncher, Pac is not good at cutting off the ring. Is he a great offensive fighter? Yes. One of the best? I'm not convinced. When was the last time he stopped someone? One of the greatest offensive fighters of all time would have stopped a journey man and cherry picked opponent like Jeff Horn with ease.

Chocolatito is similar to Manny in that he's an offensive force, he's been boxing since he was really young, has a ton of fights, and his career at the top just ended at the top and he's only 30! Get real dude.
Your Floyd love is blinding you.

Floyd won rds. 2 and 3 against McGregor on two of the judges score cards and threw a total of like 18 punches in those rounds! Ridiculous.
That said, I don't believe Manny won against Floyd but he also wasn't himself with a torn rotator cuff.

Manny, Oscar, and mike Tyson are the 3 greatest offensive fighters I have seen in my lifetime as they all were aggressive but had tremendous skill that separated them from other offensive fighters
To answer the question, no. I wouldn't say that pacquiao is one of the best offensive fighters of all time. He's a 1-dimensional 1-handed(for the most part) fighter. When you're judging a fighter's offense you have to take the fighter's accuracy, speed, power, and dimensions into account. Floyd is a better offensive fighter than manny because he has many more dimensions to his offensive attack, just as fast if not faster, and much more accurate. The only advantage that manny has over Floyd offensively is power.
This thread is yet another example of how overrated pacquiao is. This is a ridiculous question/claim.

Even at the lower weights, he didn't really throw combinations, but would chain together single sots.
