    Pimp, mi amigo, you are confusing "greatest" with "best". Babe Ruth was "the Greatest"; Barry Bonds was "the best" (arguably).
    Floyd has/has more physical skills in boxing than Manny, but other intangibles, such as what Manny means to his country, and his
    being elected to his government, handing out millions of $ to his poor people, mean quite a lot and raise him above the sport itself,
    IMO. I'm not aware of any charitable contributions Floyd has made, if he has made some, I'd like to hear it. Floyd has spent time in jail
    for domestic violence, which is not a good optic.

    But not in all around, lifetime achievements.

    Handing out money to poor people in the Philippines means nothing, it's part of politics. EVERYONE here (i live in the Phils) knows this. People literally go back to their provinces to get free money during election.

    How much has Manny handed out as opposed to the other politicians? Just asking; I've no idea myself.

    He also abused both Garcia’s Danny and Mickey in way nobody else has been able to do to them. Pacquiao is an ATG but he will never be the GOAT.

    Yes. Spence is a younger, much bigger BEAST
