Is Pacquiao a top 10 greatest boxer of all time?

Wouldn't personally put him at top 10, and I agree with most others here that's he's deserving of top 15-20. But, putting him in top 10 is way better than putting someone like Floyd in there.

 

No.

 

If he isn’t in your top 10 you clearly DKSAB! 8 weight WC lol I’d love to see a list from the people in here who say he’s not even top 30 LOL

 

Well he's certainly entitled to be a part of the discussion.

 

Top 20

 

BARF !!!!

 

Top 10 is very subjective. In my time of watching boxing, he is definitely a top 10. I'm 37, the older crowd in here have obviously followed boxing for a lot longer so cracking the top 10 becomes much harder.

 

Way too many asterisks

 

He was a fake champion at 135 and 154.

He was gifted three saves against Marquez.

He was KTFO three times.

He avoided random drug testing like it was the black plague.

He lost the biggest fight of his career.

 

Top 35 ATG.

 

Top 25 ATG

 

Top 25 right next to Floyd and JCC. Can’t think of anyone else in the last 30 years thats up there with them.

 

135 title was a sham and 154 title was just criminal

 

I don't think it's outrageous to have him in the top 10, his accomplishments might never be matched, I can't see anyone winning titles at 8 weights again in my life time. Much like Joe Louis' most consecutive successful title defences that is a record that may never be beaten, only way I see Pac's titles at 8 divisions being beaten is if they throw in more divisions.

I think him being ranked anywhere in the top 20 is reasonable, it's subjective in the end but I'd find it hard to argue he isn't top 20 based on what he accomplished.
