Does Manny Pacquiao have a claim to be a Top 3 ATG?

[BodyBagz]

Thurman wasn't 100% (just the way Pac likes his opponents). Decent win, though. His best win in a long assed while

The wins -
Almost Bumlevel, Lucas, Vargas, 2 vs Bradley (yes, should have been 3, big whoop), should have Horns name but the teacher robbed him, Algieri, Rios, shot SSM, JMM (2 questionable w's), Margarito, Clottey, Cotto*, Hatton, dead DLH*, shot MAB, Solis, 2 vs shot Erik, Larios..............

Before this, a bunch of food vendors and farmers.

bold = GTFOH

SRR is the most Overrated boxer of all time.

I agreed in a post that SRR’s run in the 40s was the best run of a decade. His opponents records were much better than ud expect. Hard to imagine anyone fighting that often and coming out as clean even just mathematically against precedent. There’s cuts, broken hands, fouls, lucky punches, etc. Lots of ways for things to go sideways over that many fights. But I understand, because does anyone know what wins his opponents had that made them great challengers? Who can name off hand a fighter Lamotta beat besides SRR himself? Wilder, Mayweather both have great records on paper but there’s tons of hate about who they fought and we all got to see everything go down. So I don’t know if SRR is overrated or the goat cause I think it’s very hard to comment on this career nobody has really fully seen. Certainly there’s even less known about all the guys he fought. I know being overrated is a compliment in a way cause lots are underrated, being overrated shows admiration. I know I’m all over the place, but I can respect someone saying what u did. I mean there’s a very good chance he is overrated, considering a lot is based on a record we know little about. I think Tyson is overrated as a fighter in ring, not as an attraction though. But he’s admired, so people want to believe he was better than he was, imo.

FACT: if there were 7 welterweight titles available back in the day... like there is now... you have NO IDEA how many GREAT fighters from the past would have picked up titles along the way...

so stop using wankery from the current era to blow smoke up your guys ass

it is only possible to compare across era's using identical criteria

WHO did you beat... with consideration given to when/how

which is the only criteria that historians use... they do not give a damn about espy's and twitter followers lol

they will also consider losses, but to a lesser degree

I can’t believe you’ve got away with trolling for 40,000+ posts and counting. Any other forum mods would’ve banned a terrible troll like you.
You’re not even funny or entertaining. Crikey.

Did you (the guy who creates a new alt every time his rep goes red) just call someone else a troll? Really??

You know Pac has a case for GOAT when Floyd fans hijack thread trying to moderate how much praise Pac gets.
It's supposed to be easier to win 8 division titles there are more belts nowadays?. So how come Pac closest peers only have titles in 5 divisions? I suppose it's easy winning titles at nearly 41 also, and being oldest WW champ also and being champ in 4 decades?
Pac dared be great. It was to scary for the rest, you risk !osing.

A fight with Crawford can tilt it either way. Suddenly this lockdown has arum giving this possibility an okay.

Not all time top three but one of greatest fighters of our generation.

Yes Max Kellerman did a great job in arguing this . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jF3ZloxmkI

IMO he is the greatest living fighter ive ever witnessed or will ever witness in my lifetime.
i believe at his peak which im not even sure im correct was when he was at 135-140? i cant think of a fighter who would have beat him at that weight.
