    Way overrated. Only won world titles at 8 different weights. Meh.

    Out of curiosity where do you put Pac in your ATG ranking?

    Might be wrong but I don’t think anyone has ever done 8 like manny has. Agree that there has been some greats over the years but manny is still beating top drawer fighters at his age

    Hes a bum, should have won titles in 9 or 10 weight classes. 8 isnt enough.

    People have gone from Flyweight to HW and had success at all of them, Fat Boy Willie Meehan and Leo Houck being some I can name of the top of my head.

    My GOAT pick, Sam Langford, went from LW to HW and scored over 100 KOs at HW

    Do you really count that title from a win over Margarito at a catch weight of 152, for a belt at 154 that neither were ranked at, legitimate?

    You mean he got caught in ONE round, lost maybe the one after, but handily outboxed Josesito the other 10 rounds?

    Fast Smith or Slow Smith?

    :lol:

    Didn’t know much about landford So had a read . What a fighter he was and in a time when being coloured was frowned upon. 250 odd fights is madness.

    I think he is top 10-15 by this point. Top 5 all time is a stretch imo but i was surprised to hear JCC call him the GOAT and Barrera said he was number 2 all time.

    They must see something we don't cus they didn't look like they were messing around.
