    And? Pacquiao lost to Morales in the first fight and Pacquiao didn't clearly beat Marquez in the rematch in which most thought Marquez beat Pacquiao.

    Pound for pound, Manny ranks pretty high, but the names on his resume are not at good at SRL's. Leonard was a better fighter.

    Leonard top 5? Wow. I don't think so, man. I say Leonard might be slightly ahead of Pacquiao. MIGHT be. I'd have to do re asses his career a bit. At the top of my head, I say Pacquiao is top 25-20, and SRL is top 20-15.

    You're an idiot. Ww was Hearns best weight class. He's fought at ww i believe 26 times. And was the wba ww champion and defended it 4 times. Leonard vs Hearns was a draw at a catchweight for the smw title. That weight both fighters were way past their primes.

    Hearns did outbox Leonard and had it been a 12 rounder would have won.
    It's only when fatigue set in that Leonard could get to him; no wonder he refused a rematch straight away.

    But Pac is a better offensive machine than Leonard; he might have gotten to Hearn's chin sooner than Leonard.

    Manny Pacqiuao ids the greatest fighter of all time. If he was a different color he would get the credit he deserves. it is a real shame for people not to acknowledge that what he has become is not something that any of us have seen or will ever see again.
    Manny is the greatest P4P fighter in the history of the sport.

    What?!? :huh

    He gets plenty of credit...but plenty of boxer's including Pacquiao can get too much credit. Example, you blindly claiming Pacquiao is the Greatest 147lber of All Time.

    Wow I didn't know that many people gargle SRL's balls. He is greater but only by a little bit. Pac beating May and Martinez would give him the nod for sure. I mean people call Manny the catchweight king? The Donny LaLonde fight is the biggest sham fight ever. Draining a light-heavy to SMW and then having the fight for two divisions at the same time is ridiculous. That would be like if the Margarito fight was at 147 so he defended the WBO welter and won the WBC JMW title. Imagine how much people would cry on this site.

    He beat the other three kings but also arguably lost to all of them also. I mean he legitimately lost to Duran, definitely lost the Hearns rematch and arguably lost the Hagler fight also.

    Pacquiao has won legitimate titles from Fly to Welter against elite opposition. I mean imagine Ivan Calderon beating up Margarito and murdering Hatton.
