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

[QueensburyRules]

Ceferino García ring a bell?

- -10 rd Cali title.

How many times U bell rung up?

[QueensburyRules]

So Manny and Margo were in a collision course at 154, got it.

- -Marg a contender at 154 also the longest consecutive Ring ranked 147 fighter(10yrs)
and ducked by SissyBoyFloyd but not Cotto. See that result.

those who voted yes dont know **** about boxing


manny may be 1 of 3 fighters theyve ever heard of lol

[therealpugilist]

Pacman is arguably the greatest fighter pound for pound to ever live,

so to answer your question,yes..

yet he wasnt even the best fighter of his own era smh....

[The plunger man]

He has a real argument because no one has ever achieved what he has done , they haven’t and it’s probably a record that will be beaten and he also gets the nod for longevity as well.
Not saying he is but he has a claim to it for sure

He was the NYSAC world champ too, guess it wasn't on the line though cos of the rounds. Still got robbed against the middleweight champ.

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

this thread is tragic and classic example of fan boyism

top 3? how sway?

he wasnt even the best of his own era so how is it even a debate

sam langford won no titles but beat hall of famers and world champions from 135 lbs to heavyweight so them using " 8 belts doe" as the reasoning is weak af

really cant argue him being top 3 considering the greats of the past and who they beat and when


the man never even beat juan manuel marquez decisively in 4 tries

[HandsofIron]

Pacquaio's a top 10 ATG but if he beats Crawford or Spence this year, he's top 5. (It's looking like that's not going to happen cuz of the Covid virus putting a halt to boxing events)

Here's my top 3 ATG:

1. Roberto Duran
2. Sugar Ray Leonard
3. Tommy Hearns

Now you going to try to insult me. Still your analogy of the fight doesn't make sense. Pac cash cow, Margo had the villain role. Easy fight to sell that didn't need a title that neither deserve. The sanctioning body saw that money that they would make so they gave it the green light.

How can I talk boxing with someone who doesn’t even know what they’re talking about? Why are you even speaking on pacquiao’s tank on an all time list when you admit to not even seeing his fights? You shouldn’t even be offering your opinion here because it’s unqualified.

Tbis is why the whole “8 division champ.....” hype means little to nothing to me. You’re giving him credit for being a champ at 54 on the strength of beating that piece of sht margarita in a 150lb catch weight fight for a vacant title that he didn’t even bother defending. This thread is a joke.

Understandable, but give the guy credit for coming from 108 to 150, that's pretty incredible in itself.
