    8 weight division champion

    lineal champion in four weight classes

    keep beating other all time greats

    all in one package fighter: speed, footwork, head movement, combinations, stamina, heart, greatest offensive fighter, greatest left handed boxer, great defense, etc.

    watching pacquiao beats his opponents makes you see that his making them look old, past their primes and washed up.

    etc.....

    Mayweather = top 10-15 Pacquiao = top 15-20.
    The only thing that Pacquiao has over Mayweather is he has officialy won championships in 8 weight classes compared to 5 for Mayweather.
    In all other catagories. Mayweather > Pacquiao.
    Your ranking Jones over Mayweather dose not bother me. If someone has a ranking that dose not agree with you and that in your words pisses you off than there is nothing I can do about that.

    Pac is Top 20. Mayweather is within top 30 but doesn't crack top 25.

    Probably in the 20s right now. I don't ever really think about it.

    His resume isn't stacked enough for him to rank ahead of many old timers imo, So i couldn't see me fitting him into top 30.

    'The 8 Division Champion' sounds impressive, but when you consider he has actually only put on around 10 lbs between winning titles in his last 6 weight classes, it shows he wasn't constantly moving up in weight fighting bigger men.

    If fighters had to weigh in the day of the fight (like they used to), we wouldn't be calling anyone a 8 weight title holder. It would be harsh to punish Pacquaio's all time ranking just because he was able to safely cut so much weight an also win 'titles' at catchweights but i like to call a spade a spade.

    I'd rather wait until he hangs up the gloves an the dust settles but i'll vote 50-100 for now.

    morales, barerra, marquez, de la hoya, hatton, margarito, cotto, clottey, along with his unreal athleticsm, unreal speed, unreal condition, unreal punching power makes him a top 10 all time easily.

    have you heard of harry greb, sugar ray robinson, henry armstrong..etc? I hope not because if you have and you still think pacquiao is the greatest of all time you must be insane. I dont think you understand what GOAT means, it stands for GREATEST OF ALL TIME. It means the best fighter in the history of the sport, the one who you can point to and say they have achieved the most and now deserve to be the top, not of a country, or a division, or the even the world at one time, but the top of an entire sport over every single other fighter that has gone before. So is he GOAT?

    Didn't. But I'd place him around 30-40 area.

    Oki you seem like a normal person and not some ***** so I think I will respond normally back.
    The only thing floyd has on pacquiao is skills, he has atg p4p skills. His resume os only good at the lower weight at welter it is not that good to be honest. He ducked and took easy money fights and therefore ruined his atg potential, He now only fights for big money and is only concerned with protecting his 0.
    Pacquiao has accomplished more in boxing especially where he came from. The only things you can critisize him for is the 2 catchweights and fighting margarito. If he fights mosley that is the type of fight I would critisize floyd for so I will not justify it.
    Only weird rankins like Pacquiao the goat **** me of. or him being not top 50 or something. If you have him in the top 20 I think you are correct, I only disagree with Floyd being ranked higher and in the top 20. You honestly know that if he lost his 0 he would be ranked way lower then he is now.
