Sexy Sergio: Manny Pacquiao Is Top 4 or 5 GOAT + Brian Castano: Pacquiao is the GOAT.

Hopkins fought forever almost until 50 why isn't anyone calling him the GOAT? I'll tell you why? Popularity! People overrate Pac because they like him and make excuses for all his failures.

 

Hopkins fought guys like Calzaghe, Tarver Wright Pavlik Pascal Dawson Kovalev and Joe Smith Jr in his 40s but gets little credit for it. Pac fights guys like Broner Horn Lucas M. Thurman and Ugas and he walks on water. Hopkins fought the better fighters at a older age than Pac did and is largely laughed at and forgotten about. I can't stand this casual and agenda having fans and yes fighters are not immune to having agendas either.

 

never thought about that before.
hopkins was a machine in his 40's.

 

Yes he did, he lost but he fought the very best at an older age. He fought Calzaghe and he fought Kovalev when everyone was shook of him. Yes he lost but he took the challenge at 47, let me see anyone else do that.

 

Big time exaggeration about Hopkins. No one was laughing at him.

 

Hopkins was not getting the respect he deserved back then. People wanted to see him get KTFO at 47 and even earlier in his 40s people laughed and mocked him when he was knocked out of the ring against Smith jr. I remember it vividly.

 

hopkins wasn't PPV friendly, and let's face it, he said some dumb stuff.
but damn, he is a great MW

 

you say this a lot to people on here.
my emotions are never in play when i'm on here, so i can't get triggered.

 

being dismissive and making judgements just because i challenge you is normal for people who don't know how else to react.

 

So RJJ Calzaghe Wright Tito and Oscar aren't certified ATGS? With the exception of PBF and even that's debatable, RJJ is better than anyone Pac ever fought. Also Kovalev will probably go to the HOF. I think Hopkins fought better fighters than Pac did to be perfectly honest.
