pacamaniac sounds good, but ******* is already epic

 

so what!

greatest of the last 25 years LOL

 

Henry Armstrong 126 135 147
Manny Pacquio 112 126 135

 

Armstrong was the lineal/single champion in each of those divisions at the SAME time.

Regardless, Pacquiao seems to be the modern 'version' of Armstrong... not on his level in regards to accomplishments though.

 

when's he going to fight someone not on the verge of retirement if he's so great? Ever?

 

Yes , He is cool guyz .

 

He is good but there have been some great fighters and great wins in the last 25 years. Pac. is one of the best fighters now. I told my friend oneday that some fighter was overrated and he said, well all fighters are overrated if you get the right style to fight them. Anyone can be beat.

 

I do not feel this at all. My gut tells me he is in the top 5 of the 1990s, but the last 20 years? He did not burst onto the scene until 1992, and he sort of lost big in 2003. So for those years he was tops, and even then he sort of took the road of less resistance. That does not make him the greatest. And another thing, he was never in a great fight. That means a lot. Look at the generation of Hagler/Hearns/Duran/Leonard/Benitez/Cueves from 1979-1989). All those guys were in great fights and had legendary knockouts of the other legends. That is why that era is so remembered. Roy Jones will not be remembered much in 10 years. Hearns and Hagler will. Now we think of Jones because he just fought.

 

Pernell Whitaker for me (90's).

 

WAY over the top. Pac's achievement certainly puts him up there, but when you have guys like Jones, Holyfield, Whitaker, and Hopkins in the discussion, I think it is overstating it a bit. He's certainly in the top ten after this, in my view, but absolutely number one?? That's fanboy stuff.
