    LOL at the people who voted for Manny. You can pretty much discount anything they say from now on in regard to Manny Pacquiao.

    It's not even close. People who voted for Manny might want to realize some boxing matches actually happened before the years 2000-2010.

    You have the dates wrong. The majority have not seen boxing before 2008.

    There aren't too many fighters in history you would favor over both WG and Sanchez in their own weights, that's for damn sure.

    That's too bad. Most of the great fights are pre-1990 IMO. Competition was a little thicker.

    based on resume, i have mayweather top 40, although this ranking does not do justice to his skills. undoubtedly, he has top 20 atg skills or arguably top 10. i look at it then from the perspective of manny having beaten someone with top 20 atg skills.

    Sugar Ray Leonard beat Duran,Hearns,Hagler,Benitez and if you throw in there champion Kalule. He was just incredible. He fought them all when neither guy had a loss for years. I think Manny's resume on wins is better than Duran, although Duran fought better guys, but Leonard is over Manny and I don't think Manny can match up to Ray unless he beats Floyd and he might need even more than that. Ray fought and beat greats.

    what do titles mean when you hand them to a guy for not fighting the champion like Pac was handed several titles. Margarito and Pac in my mind was not for the 154 pound title. Arum cheated in that respect. That should not have been a title fight. Ray beat real greats. Pacman fought guys who had a loss in thier last 2 fights, and 3 of the five were knocked out the last 2 fights. This is overrating at it's best.

    Ray not being p4p for 3 years is because he fought 3 greats in a matter of one or two years. He fought them all back to back. Hagler was p4p for 4 years I think.

    No question. Only *******s would think other wise. Sugar Ray Leonard beat Marvin Hagler, Hearns, Roberto Duran, Benitez. Every one of those guys are better than everybody on Manny's resume and they weren't weight drained or coming off of loses. No question, even asking this question is dumb. Sugar Ray has the best resume of any fighter in the past 30 years. Manny has 3 loses with 2 by knock out and 1 by a fading Morales who Freddie Roach himself said was declining. Leonard has 3 loses with 2 past his prime and 2 to the likes of Roberto Duran and Hector Camacho

    stfu, wins over Hearns, Duran and Benitez is good enough. You think Pryor would beat him to begin with
