    I quoted that his Advantages in aggression, punch selection and speed made up for his weakness' in those sections. You were the one who brought up my nationality as if that had any part of the argument....

    Legacy, beat his ass, undefeated, beat better opponents. Oh, and didn't have to cheat with PEDS to do it!!

    Many reasons. Many.

    I didn't want to argue or be disrespectful to you but look how frothing at the mouth you are. My God. You are just out of it. My ancestors had exploratory spirit. That is something yours clearly know nothing about.[/QUOTE
    Pac did not just give them hell, he beat the snot out of them. Big difference between competing on a high level for a fight or 2 and beating HOF'ers. Comparing Bika and Chuvalo to Pac?!?! I must end this conversation!

    The fact that you even had the nerve to compare the likes of Bika to Pacquiao shows your ignorance. You are the one who seems to be out of touch with reality.
    When all is said and done people will remember Manny for having a legendary career and for taking chances, doing things no other fighters have done. Again, his legacy cannot be denied and never will be. Just accept that.

    Now you're just being a dumbass asking a question like that! But I guess you're one of those guys that needs to have a conversation explained to them so they don't get lost! LOL I should have told you, when speaking about HOF'ers I'm talking actual fighters that fought for a living, not people that have helped elevate or popularize or brought entertainment value to the sport. So, to answer your question, no, I would not call Chuvalo an ATG if he were to whoop up on Sylvester. Either way, Chuvalo never beat an ATG, so you comparing him to MP is foolish!

    Lmao. Boxed Ears is messin'
    with guys.
    Pacquaio accomplishment is top 10 worthy. Eye test does discredit him a bit as there are style that gave him fits.
    But all things considered, he's probably around top 30 ATG.

    Is water wet? Obviously Manny is an ATG and easily 1 of the top 10 of all time
