    I dont buy the 8 division thing. not where catchweights are involved and the JMM superfeather title was a defeat too. Floyd did catchweights too and I dont rate them either. Pac is great but a very manufactured career and a massive question mark about PEDS too. IJust my opinion though. Floyd beats him at any points in their respective careers imo

    Amazing fighter and deserves a place in top 20 of all time. But greatest? No.

    Greatest of last 30 years - arguably. It’s either Pac or Mayweather. Really comes down to personal preference.

    Eeeew! No way, fllo's voted for Marcos. Shows Pacquiao's losing fans after his politics.

    Not a chance in hell. One of the greatest of all time? Of course he is...which is a huge compliment and massive achievement, but anybody that knows boxing before the 90s will know that he can't realistically be the GOAT.

    No. Look at it this way. I can't say he is the GOAT of any individual weight class that he campaigned at. If you aren't in the argument for individual classes, how can you be in the argument overall?

    He's definitely an ATG...........but greatest? Let's be honest, everyone knows that Sugar Ray Robinson is the GOAT.

    That will never change. No fighter will ever have a career that even remotely approaches what he did.
