    On where he believes Manny Pacquiao ranks amongst all time greats:

    “Among all time greats, I would say he has to be in the top dozen, not so much for what he did not so much for what he did in the last couple of years, it’s the earlier part of his career that lasts about two or three years ago. When you keep fighting against the best continually, and that’s what I rank greatness on—performance against the best, not just all of these records and eight or nine championships. To me that doesn’t really mean anything. You got four different organizations, maybe five depending on what you want to respect, and every five pounds is a different weight division. But the fact that he’s fought some of the best, and most of the guys were future Hall of Fame guys themselves. He has performed on a top level and only lost one fight and knocked out that opponent, which was Morales, twice. Just to have this longevity, I would have to rate Pacquiao in the top dozen fighters of all time.”

    The great Pacquioa seems often compared with to determine his standing is Jimmy McLarnin. Somebody told me yesterday that McLarnin's last 18 fights before retirement were all against HOF fighters or champions, and his record is pretty good - before that time he met many more champions and HOF fightters, including a one round dispatch of Young Corbett III more disturbing and devastating in it's implications than Manny's KO of the smaller Hatton - and McLarnin turned pro at fly.

    Under Steward's named criteria, I don't think he can rank Pac above McLarnin.

    Me personally, I think it's okay - that's under my criteria though. Having said that, I don't rank him in the dozen yet.

    Reads like a toss away comment to me.

    Someone should ask Steward if Pacquiao beats a "Prime" Hearns @ 147lbs...
