Manny Pacquiao became an ATG at 24 years old. Will never be done again.

Atg don't get knocked out cold By singsurat, torrecamp and slapped around by Hussein, Sanchez by age 23

 

One of the greatest of all time.

But his time is done now, he needs to hang up the gloves ASAP.

Boxing needs to move on.

 

I don't know, man. I think there's a Manny Pacquiao and a Floyd Mayweather every generation. 90s Roy Jones, Pernell Whitaker, Bernard Hopkins. 80s Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Chavez, Sanchez 70s Duran, Arguello, Monzon, Napoles 60s Ali, Jofre 50s Robinson, Moore 40s Charles, Pep 30s Armstrong, Louis, Ross, Canzoneri 20s Greb, Leonard, Walker.

I mean take Tony Canzoneri. He fought his way from Bantamweight to junior Welterweight and was a three division champ by the age of 23. It's possible and it happens from time to time.

 

I think he needs to hang up the gloves when he starts looking bad. As of his last fight, he still looked fantastic, the best of his division. Hopkins and Jones need to hang up the gloves ASAP.

 

The Mexicutioner is a G.

 

He became an ATG later on in his career once he started racking up wins against the big WW'S. At the lower weights, he had the look, but that's it.

 

So Mike Tyson winning the Heavyweight championship of the world at 19 years old must make Pacquiao his son as far as ATG status goes because no one has done that again and won't ever.

Mike Tyson is the father
Manny Pacquiao is the son
Muhammad Ali is the holy ghost
The boxing Trinity.

 

Pac was a 17 yr old kid fighting grown men in the singsurat &torrecampo days he was a kid fighting to feed his family.EVERYTHING Pac has he EARNED!!! No one gave him anything

 

Plus the only boxer who became Congressman and Senator - nobody in then history of boxing Globally can ever beat that !!!

 

These threads borderline on MVC content.

 

Acelino Freitas was Secretary of Sport in Brazil. Alexis Arguello was mayor of Managua, Argentina. Vitali Klitschko is mayor of Kiev, Ukraine. John Morrissey was a bare knuckle boxer who became a US congressman and senator. John Gully was a British bare knuckle boxer and MP.

 

But none of them is 8 division champ

 

Wilfried Benitez and Salvador Sanchez became an ATG by age 23. Although Manny went on to become one of the GOAT's, they didn't.
From third world poverty to Senator, all whilst becoming one of the Greatest 15 Boxers ever.

 

The Trinity to explain God is just something I couldn't get myself to believe in. I bet most Christians in their minds conceptualise it as 'the Father = The Son = The Holy Spirit' - which is heretical.
