Bert Sugar: "Manny Pacquiao is the best Southpaw of All Time"

No. It has nothing to do with insecurity. The claim is being challenged because it's illogical.

 

Yeah, unbelievable. You look at something like that and the entire list loses its credibility.

 

How old is that list? :think

If Pacquiao is the best southpaw of all time, as Mr Sugar says, why isn't he even in his top 100? :huh

 

Dumb asses around here who dont see Whitacre or Roy Jones hence they dont know **** at the top ten immeadiately discredit someone who has been watching and forgotten more about boxing than they ever will.

 

Bert Sugar has always been a writer first and boxing historian second. He's pretty much second to none for spinning a good yarn, but anyone with a decent level of understanding of the sport should be able to see that when it comes to facts they come a distant second to myths where he is concerned.

Sugar is the type of guy that will tell everyone that Willie Pep won a round without throwing a punch because it sounds so fantastic, despite it being a blatant fabrication.

 

LMAO thats amazing
and of course this thread was started by you

Anyways. . . Marvin Haggler?

 

Pacquiao is not included in the ESPN Top 50 list while Morales and Barrera whom he defeated decisively are included. This baffles me. Even in the Top 100 that's presented here, he's not in the list. Is it because he is still active and creating legacy for himself?

 

relax

if they made a list today he would be there, head and shoulders above both, as he should be

 

del

 

ummm on thursdayz bert sugar thinkz hez queen elizabeth

 

A woman writer was the one that made that horrid list.

 

Just one man's opinion. Sugar has always been a follower. I was into the Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran era deeply and I knew all about them, and when I heard Bert Sugar talk he was saying nonsense and almost sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about. He was just mimicking what the normal sportscasters were saying so the general public knew him. Nice man. I met him in person, but I think he is overrated as a boxing expert.

 

i agree with him totally...he is probably right and everyone has a right to contest his opinion...:happy:happy:happy

 

thats how to look at things objectively.
