    Nah, I think MAB beats him in his prime and Morales is a better aggressive counter puncher than him. Pac being greater is obvious.

    Prime schmime, Marquez whipped him when they were the same age. Marquez is way more skilled than Morales

    Pac is obviously greater at getting decapitated by Marquez, we can agree on that.

    Yeah and Hopkins whipped Jones when he was older than him.

    Since has being knocked out been a barrier to greatness?

    Pacquiao World champion from Flyweight to Welterweight. There isn't a single boxer in history who can claim the same.

    No, he didn't. That's in your head, and it's wrong. And even if he did, he still wouldn't be greater than him. The difference is that wide.

    No. He is a hall of fame fighter but not an all time great. He fought Manny well but did beat the guys Manny did.
