    Actually it was only reported by the Philippines in the first link.

    The poll was taken by an Australian organization.

    Exactly!

    How the fcuk can any P4P poll have Ali above Henry Armstrong?

    People are getting carried away with Pacquiao. Yes, he's one of the best of all time, but to say he's up there with Ray Robinson is wrong! Henry Armstrong would have beaten Manny! People think Pacquiao is a freak, well Henry was blessed with a slow heartbeat & could box or fight all day & night! Just look at the man's record to see evidence of this!

    The greatest FW is interesting. I do not see Pacquiao beating Sanchez at 126lbs! Salvador would have height & reach advantages, could box or fight.

    No Ezzard Charles in the LHW category? No Benny Leonard in the LW category? Just what the **** is going on?

    With such omissions, the credibility of such a poll is non existant!

    Yeh any majority of the people didn't see Pacquaio beating hatton, oscar and cotto. You can keep doubting Pac. But he keeps delivering. But i don't blame you, people love over-rating legends in every sport. I guess it's just human nature.

    I believe Pacquiao is definitely one of the best ever, however he's not the "best" at any particular weight class.

    He was great as a featherweight but not really a complete fighter at that weight. He was probably his best at lightweight but barely spent any time there. And he's making a name for himself as a JWW/WW at the moment but again, hasn't done quite enough there yet.

    We are not even sure if hes the best in this era yet so hows he second of all time. This is all to do with popularity.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    These are all terrible choices.

    Pacquiao the 2nd greatest ever? Tyson the 2nd best HW? Jones ahead of Charles, Spinks, Moore and co, and Calzaghe at 3. :lol:

    Oscar a top 3 welterweight? Floyd a top 3 LW? Carbajal top 3 at fly-weight? And Lopez, he never even fought there!

    Sanchez was better than all 3 of Hatton, Cotto and Oscar. Not to mention Oscar was shot and weight-drained. Hatton was past his average-best aswell.
