    Who is the greater ATG? Both multi weight world champs, both at some point considered P4P .

    tough call tbh. Lets wait for Pac's career to wind down a little.

    Pac is definately up there on the same level with the Whitaker, Jones, Chavez and other true greats.

    IMO, Pacquiao.
    (No contest)

    Jones Jr. had a lot of boring fight's against fighter's most can't remember.
    (+ his PPV's were garbage card's...lol, sorry i had to throw that in)

    Pac's fight's will be in replay, While my Jones tapes are collecting alot of dust.

    When Manny was on top he can't be bea either. It just a matter of how you define being on "top".

    Jones Today but if Manny beats Mayweather Manny gets him, I think its safe to say that Pacquiao is a different king of ATG, he is a louis or robinson a true once in a life time ATG and we get to witness it all.

    honestly i think Pacquiao is and already was before last night

    but then i've never been wholey convinced of Jones' career. (to the extent some people are i mean, he's still a great, great boxer)

    RJJ was maybe slightly more skilled, but Pacquiao has by far a better resume. The only really impressive thing about RJJ's career was that he weight-hopped insanely; but Pac has now done that, too, but against far better fighters. So, overall, Pacquiao.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Jones unbeatable? Yeah when you are fighting Otis Grant, Richard Frazier, Richard Hall, Glen Kelly etc. instead of LEGIT fighters that are out there sure you can look unbeatable. Then handpick perhaps the worst Heavyweight beltholder in 25 years. Jones is a Glass Jawed fraud and his career was nothing but smoke and mirrors.

    Pacquiao. Jones is one of my favorites, and his skills were amazing but resume is more important to me.

    Pac ain't achieved the untouchable aura that RJ had at his peak imo. I luv Pac, but I think RJ is still a lil up on him. Pac can surpass him tho.

    If this was 6 years ago I would have said ...we would have to wait another generation to see a fighter with Roy Jones attributes.

    Pac cant do the thing Jones does but he wows in different ways

    he intimadtes with his speed like Jones did.

    Pac has an advantage now with the opposition around him...Jones didnt have that....

    and dont give me Calzaghe....No one gave a **** about Calzaghe till he fought Lacy...he woul dhave been another average champion fighter on Jones Resume.

    At the moment even....

    but I think Jones was the most unbeatable...but Pac is developing into a mix of Pernell Whitaker and reberto duran...a southpaw with defensive wizadary/offensive brutality.

    Awsome.

    Pacman like Jones is a phenom of an athelete...like Leanord, robinson etc...amazing athletic ability..

    I think Cotto is a tougher fight than Floyd...hes a more consistant counter puncher than FLoyd.. Floyd pot shots.
