    LMFAO yet Heavyweights like Ali can only get ONE title. The multi-division title is a dubious honor for midgets! Real men are lucky to get 2-3 titles because of their size. As I've pointed in my previous psots midgets can get 7 titles in 25 pounds. From HLW to Cruiser (25 pounts) you can get one title.

    For me he's being the best offensive fighter of the past 20 years!
    Like him or not prof is there he's fought most fighters put in front of him and beat them
    And it's being at an elite level.im not saying he's better then mayweather...witch he's not
    But I've enjoyed watching the PAC man more then any fighter
    Hall of famer all over👍

    Ali can make one title, but that's the best title out there,,... Just go and find me one midget to duplicate the eight division weight titles, 3 time BWAA fighter of the year awardee and the fighter of the decade awardee,,.. not all ATGs get a chance of joining the elite circle of fighters,,...

    ATG and a true legend. This is undisputable no matter how much his haters want to. Ranks between 20-30 greatest of all time list.

    In the 30's but once he retires he'll probably get there somewhere inside 15 to 20,,...

    My top 25 for sure probably to 20, an absolute ATG fought everybody who would fight him 8 weight world champion may not be done for another century. Wins over fellow ATG's Barrera, Morales, JMM, ODLH, Cotto. Great wins over Bradley, Hatton, Ledwaba, Margarito, Sasakul. The greatest fighter i'v seen above guys like ODLH, Bhop, Mosley, Mayweather, Barrera, Morales, Tito.

    No way mayweather has accomplished more. Give me a Floyd win that is better than Pac over Barrera or even Bradley?

    Not everyone has Bob Arum as their promoter. Catchweight titles, fighting damaged goods for titles ... you're right Manny is unsurpassed in these areas. Not to mention the gazillion number of titles over more divisions that can be won now as opposed to when the old greats fought.

    Bradley? Who's his best win Holt or a a guy who Floyd schooled in JMM?

    Barrera is Pac's best win but that isn't saying much. Even JMM beat him.

    Devil's advocate approach:

    Pacquiao's reigns and record as a lineal champion in any division certainly do leave a lot to be desired, whatever that is worth.

    The titles in divisions are a little overrated when you consider that he technically never won a "world title" at 140 despite grabbing the lineal title in his only fight there, David Diaz had just lost his previous fight to Morales on most score cards, and most importantly that his JMW title he won was vacant, at a 150 CW, and against a fighter who wasn't ranked in the top 30 at JMW.

    He ranks above all the fighters of the past 15 years easy. His titles speak for themselfs i rank him ahead if guyslike hopkins jones jr whitiker mayweather just on that alone. Although not head to head or personal

    Bradley is undefeated, prine/peak, top p4p champion with an awkward style when pac beat him. Which floyd win is close to this?

    Barrera @ 126 was a top p4p champion while pac was coming up from 122 with no one giving him a chance. which floyd win is better?
