    I had already posted names but I will post them here some old and new but all great fighters. Compare what they've done against whom they've done it and then tell me Manny is top 25 ATG. Since that was what I initially responded to:

    Joe Louis
    Aaron Pryor
    Muhammad Ali
    Alexis Arguello
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Pipino Cuevas
    Marvin Hagler
    Eric Morales
    Roberto Duran
    Carlos Monzon
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Archie Moore
    Floyd Patterson
    Ezzard Charles
    Henry Armstrong
    Willie Pep
    Thomas Hearns
    Pernell Whitaker
    Marvin Hagler
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Larry Holmes
    Rocky Marciano
    Joe Frazier
    Azumah Nelson
    Michael Spinks
    Lennox Lewis
    Bob Foster
    Alexis Arguello
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Sonny Liston
    Evander Holyfield
    Ricardo Lopez
    Felix Trinidad
    Kostya Tszyu
    Bernard Hopkins
    Shane Mosley
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Mark Johnson
    Stevie Johnston
    Meldrick Taylor
    Wilfred Benitez
    Ronald Wright
    James Toney
    Joe Frazier


    I have already said numerous times that I think Pac is a very good fighter and that he's ATG material but HE IS OVERRATED if you think he's top 25 all-time. The same goes for Floyd as well! People apparently get caught in the moment of what they saw last and forget about the greatness of fighters past. Remember compare them to PAC PRIME for PRIME and their RESUME then rank! If you want more names then I have plenty.

    Arguably the best and exciting fighter in his generation.
    Pacquiao is the fighter of the decade of 2000-2009.
    Currently the only boxer who has won 4 lineal titles.
    Currently the only boxer who won 7 belts in 7 different weight divisions.
    He tackled 3 weight divisions in approximately 1 year (135, 147, then 140) winning 2 belts out of the 3 division, which is why he was compared to Armstrong.
    He has also been named fighter of the year 3 times.

    Did I miss anything? I think these are the reasons why so many are ranking Manny Pacquiao so highly.

    I will admit that I don't know everyone in that list, you have Kotsya Tzsyu and winky wright as a top 25 ATG? REALLY?! :? I didn't ask you to name, boxers that YOU think that is worth being an ATG. I asked you if you could name a few of famous credible boxing journalist/historians... etc that doesn't even rank Pacquiao as top 100.

    With that resume, in-ring ability, style of fighting and mentality to boxing he's not an all-time great?, why?, because a possible rival said so in news articles?

    You're an idiot and a puppet, instead of hosting pictures of women with a physique that belongs in the zoo as an avatar learn a thing or two about this sport browsing this place.

    Here's a free quick tip, Mayweather talks smack about him a lot lately because Pac is a possible future opponent, that's very normal, he won't be praising him when he knows he's a possibly opponent and an obvious threat for the "fighter of this generation" crown. Before these two were in the same weight category and obvious opponents Mayweather used to attend Pacquiao fights and show him lots of respect and I'm sure he still does and all this talk is to promote a future megafight which could also be the biggest fight in boxing ever so don't expect these guys, who are getting the cheques, to blow kisses to one another these days.

    Pac beat Old faded Mexican greats, cheats with EPO Steroids, ducks many challenges, has never dominated a weight division, and has had 3 FIXED FIGHTS.

    Pac is seriously OVERRATED.
