    Manny and it’s not even close.

    forget about the size thing. Manny beat better competition.

    Manny easily really most heavyweights not named Ali and Louis won't do well when compared P4P against lighter ATGs (and even those two i think are overrated P4P but that's just me)

    P4P are comparisons are fun but I find them sort of hard to do. Heavyweights tend to get very underrated because they can't/don't move up and down weight classes by gaps of 5-10 pounds and win belts.

    Lennox Lewis has an underrated record even if it is not as good as Pacquiao's.

    However, Lennox made a huge mistake not fighting Riddick Bowe.

    It gets viewed as if Bowe ducked the fight.

    Lennox was also to blame.

    Pac is a lock for a top 30 p4p ATG imo. I'm a huge fan of the resume and risking it all to fight anyone anytime while going up in weight. I think Pac and Hearns have the best resumes in the last 50 years of the sport

    Pacquiao is my #19 and Lewis isn't in my top 50, all time p4p fighters. Not close this one.
