    The 8 titles seem more like a publicity stunt than anything else. He got all the titles from marginal champs and defended against retreads. First time he fights someone not at the downside of their career, he looses (Bradley) and even during a downhill slide of their career (Morales).

    His great series are against Morales and Marquez (trilogies). These are good fighters, but come on!

    Anyone that thinks Manny win against Leonard or Hearns is sadly mistaken. Leonard or Hearns > Mayweather Jr. > Manny Paquaio.

    Bonebreaker Pipino Cuevas would KO the ever aggressive Paquaio.

    Fighter Of The Decade but lacks big wins to be ATG.
    He needed to beat Barerra in 2003 when he was pre 30 years old and P4P AND he lost the first round.
    Maybe if he stopped Oscar,Cotto and Hatton not just win but stop u would have a case, so no he not an atg.

    I dont know. I think he'll reach 80-90 range. Not sure about top 50. Especially his last few fights. Canelo had a more convincing victory over Shane Mosley. JMM 3 and Bradley fights self explanatory.

    Great fighters. All Time Greats, to be exact. As was Barrera, who Pacquiao beat twice without question near his peak. So yes, he is an ATG. He has plenty of questionable circumstances surrounding his wins (weight, age, etc.), but so do all accomplished fighters. Any fool can write a breakdown discrediting someone's accomplishments, but why would you want to?

    I'm no Pac fan, but ANYBODY who doubts he's an all time great should play in traffic.

    He's got a really great offense an avrage defenes. Is credited with 8 world championships, but really only won six. He has a history of cherry picking and avoiding real chalanges, including but not limmited to Floyd Mayweather. Probbly top 100 all time.
