    I put hopkins and floyd at the top.

    I always find people mistake the word best with most entertaining.

    Pac is IMO the most fan friendly fighter on the list, but IMO he is not the best.

    I just find people often pick him based on the fact that he is fun to watch

    Manny, Easily.

    His 'Mexicutioner' run is only rivalled by Jones being a HW Champ on that list.

    Calzaghe shouldn't be on the list. The best fighter on the list is Roy Jones followed by Mayweather but you could put Pacquiao and Hopkins above them based on resume.

    Manny PAC. Cheat. KO in 6 lying there like a dead fish. Limited boxing skill. Over hyped to say the least. Take him off this list.

    Greatest. People picked him because he is the greatest of his era.

    pacquiao

    never seen anything like a guy going from flyweight champion to welterweight champion leaving a trail of destruction behind him in that manner

    a couple of bumps along the way, sure, but it's 2015 now and he is still valid. hard to believe

    how many belts a fighter collects, in a sport that hands them out like candy, has nothing to do with greatness
