    If Manny isn’t in your top 10 you’re either a hater or DKSAB simple as that!

    I voted yes but it's really hard to just single out fifteen guys. I don't know, really. I wouldn't have Chavez and Greb high, though...

    I clicked no. It is a very tough one. He is definitely close. Best fighter of the era for me. And definitely my favourite.

    Greb has the greatest resume in history along with Ezzard Charles. Cant be lower than 3.

    It's not. But I would honorably give him that spot because of the titles he won in 8 different categories.

    I atill think its difficult when there is no footage of the guy. Its very hard to compare a guy like that to boxers from the post Ali era.

    There's good arguments on either side for this subject. My arse is a bit sore from sitting on the fence.

    pacquiao has one heck of a resume. he at the very least should be in the discussion for being in the top 15 all time greats.

    Manny Pacquiao is the greatest fighter since Roberto Duran. There's almost no argument to be made for anybody else.
