    If I'm not mistaken, aren't guys like Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Marciano and Ali in the HOF? You telling me you don't consider them ATG's?

    In all.the sportz
    So, in all the history of the sport, not 1 fighter qualifies as an ATG? I think you're just being difficult!

    There is no real debate amongst Boxing insiders and all those relevant in the sweet science. His legacy as an ATG is memorialized in the history books. His accomplishments in certain areas are unmatched and his resume is threaded with some of the most prolific boxers in the last 50 years. Of course Manny deserves his place among the very best Boxing has ever produced

    Henry Armstrong. Held 3 belts in 3 divisions at the same time, when there was only 8 divisions and 1 champ per division, fought to a draw in his 4th attempt to gain a 4th belt at 160. Fought bigger guys to accomplish this goal.

    A huge stretch, a hall of famers for sure tho, nowhere near the best of all time or even near it. Come on now

    Lol. You make me laugh kid. I know you are just fishing in most of your posts but I’ll humor you...No stretch at all. PAC being in the hall is a given as is his place on the very exclusive list of ATG boxers. There’s really nothing to argue as everyone who is enmeshed in the ethos of boxing are in agreement....Manny is without a doubt an ATG. This is a short list of ATG lists out there that all have Manny Pacquaio in the top 25

    Not even top 50, but you can keep being in denial
    Floyd is higher

    Lol. You’re silly. Denial is exactly what you are suffering from kid. Anyone can say anything they want and attempt to pass it off as “true”.....but it doesn’t mean that’s reality. Just take Floyd for instance....he’s the only one who is saying that he’s TBE....of course it’s not true and no one will ever back him up on his boastful self proclamation...but certainly he’s an ATG. Just like Manny is an ATG. That’s reality. Who is higher is up for debate.

    Simple minded people are easily convinced by hollow statements like FMJ's TBE claims.

    I get MVC and don’t ever take his posts at face value. Most of his statements are more for shock value to bait people in than what he actually believes or has convictions about. I know he comes off simple minded but that’s just his shtick
