    Hagler was more skilled overall than Pacquiao.

    I agree that Hagler had more technical skill than Pacquiao.

    I tend to agree..

    The man had a truly great skill set combined with natural ability.

    Just off the top of my head: Hagler, Saldivar, Pac, Harold Johnson, Calzaghe, Sweet Pea. Just can't think of anyone else right now

    Pac is definitely top 5 and quite possibly top 3.

    :nono

    Hagler and Sweet Pea are clearly above him in my opinion. Then it's a toss-up between pack and Tiger Flowers for #3. If you give it to Tiger then Pac is #4 and top 5, if you give it to Pac then he's #3 and top 3 :nod

    But I rate Zaggers above Pac in a more important list "Non PED Cheat ATGs".

    I dont think he cheated until he went up in weihgt though, so his wins over morales, marquez 1(the only marquez fight I had him winning),barrera are still far better than anything zaggers has done.
