Manny Pacquiao is greater than Floyd Mayweather Jr., says Erik Morales

No doubt!
PAC is ATG, GOAT and TBE!!

Add Mexican great Erik Morales to the growing list of boxers who support Manny Pacquiao’s claim as the greatest boxer of all time.

The 42-year-old Morales was in attendance at the press conference of the Jaime Munguia vs. Patrick Allotey fight for the WBO super welterweight title on the Mexican Independence Day, September 14, at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Now a full-time trainer and elected Congressman in Mexico, “El Terrible” has been more vocal in expressing his opinion on several boxing topics nowadays as compared to his younger years.

As any boxing fans know, Morales engaged in three classic fights with Pacquiao with the Mexican bagging the victory of the first fight and the Filipino boxing champ ending up as the winner of the last two.

With regards to the pressing question as to who is greater between Pacquiao and Mayweather, Morales definitely has a say on it.

“Manny Pacquiao, Pacquiao has a better career on paper. He fought tougher opposition than Mayweather,” Morales said in the EsNews video below.

Several years ago, it’s almost taboo to put Pacquiao in the conversation on who is the greatest boxer of all time. The general consensus is, the only fighters who can lay claim to the imaginary title are Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, and anyone below that isn’t just worthy enough for any consideration.

However, Pacquiao’s accomplishment as the only boxer who won world titles in eight different weight classes from flyweight to super welterweight, along with his remarkable longevity in the sport has catapulted the Filipino pugilist to the upper echelon of boxing elites.

All of a sudden, the legend of Pacquiao has grown bigger in every victory he earned in his 40s. His latest victory over Keith “One Time” Thurman, a guy 10 years younger and viewed by pundits as the best welterweight two years ago, has helped further magnify Pacquiao’s greatness.

Finally, the media is starting to realize how great Pacquiao has been these last 20 years. Renowned boxing analyst Max Kellerman even came up with an intriguing monologue on ESPN’s Max on Boxing, in which he talked about Pacquiao as a once-in-generation talent and perhaps the true ruler of boxing’s Iron Throne.

This isn’t a very hard question.

Did Pacquiao ever fight Mayweather?
How did the fight go?
The winner is the greater fighter. Had Pacquiao faced a very old Mayweather the way Marciano did then we could say otherwise. In this case yes Mayweather was older but still decisively beat Pacquiao so end of story.

If it's common knowledge why when a panel of writers/experts voted on who was the greatest fighter of the last 25 years was Floyd ranked higher than Pacquaio?

Not sure majority feel that was deserved at the time. But when was that. Time moves on, doesn’t stand still for floyd. PAC has opened peoples eyes since, and those so called experts have had time to ponder and reflect and to put it mildly come to senses, and smell the coffee

[pasawayako]

may doesnt ko his opponents...he only kos his fans .

Yap, floyd put his fans to sleep.

[pasawayako]

former 108 lber knocked out oscar dela hoya,miguel cotto and lucas matthyse

And dont forget this former flyweight make Floyd run and hug for his dear life... lmao.

[pasawayako]

I'll give you Cotto*
And credit for giving names


*= Cotto had to sign a piece of paper before Pac had the balls to fight him

Yeah, Pac is sleeping all of these WW fools
(I don't care where he started out at. All that matters is where he's fighting at NOW)

a cotto that bloodied floyd nose and very competitive while he can't even win a single round against pac. nice try though.

U mean floyd was given a gift win against an injured pac.

[Thraxox]

There's an OBVIOUS reason why these Pac fans REFUSE to put names on his accomplishments and I'm loving it

JMM beat PAC on their 4th fight
Bradley beat JMM
WOULD THAT MEAN BRADLEY IS GREATER THAN PAC??

Floyd may have been two years older but Manny had 17 more fights than Floyd which put more wear and tear on him. Maybe Floyd should not have “marinated”’ the fight for five years and he would get credit for beating Manny at his best instead of a one-armed PAC who he had to clinch and run from all night.

Hearns KO’d Duran, but Duran is still regarded as the P4P greater fighter.
