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

Why does everything gotta be "of all time" lol?
Manny was definitely one of the funnest guys to watch fight for me in this last era of boxing largely due to his offensive abilities so of the last era I think he's certainly on the list. Where you or anyone would range him is subjective bs & who really gives a f#ck if he's #1 or #22.

Hell yeah Pacquiao is.
Speed, power, feints, beautiful combos, angles, being able to land shots from awkward positions.
He didn't KO or stop guys at 147 mostly due to being smaller and fighting at his walk around weight. He carried some of his power up there, but not enough to destroy guys. He still has a decent amount of knockdowns at the weight.

Yes, he will be considered one of the all-time great offensive fighters, and possesses a great, underrated defense as well. He was a total package in his prime. One of the most electrifying and entertaining fighters of all time.

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.
...and what prime, all-time great fighter did floyd do all this shutting down to? Conor McGregor? I'll wait....
