    Manny cos of how far he's come not just in the ring but in life.

    To be poor without oppurtunity in any palce ain't easy, but Manny's come from real poverty to almost becoming a president.

    I know the *****s are gonna jump all over this but it's pretty ****in amazing.:shock:

    They're all great in one way or another


    Jones - superhuman athletic ability
    Whitaker - defensive mastery, skill off the charts
    Mayweather - same as above
    Pac - unparalleled conqueror of multiple weight classes
    Hopkins - unusual longevity at the top

    1 Whitaker (no doubts about this position)
    2 Pac
    3 RJJ
    4 Floyd
    5 Hop (no doubts about this position)

    For me it is very hard to rate Pac, RJJ and Floyd. Their achievements are very close. I give advantage to Pac fights against the Mexican greats and RJJ wins against Toney and Hop. I think that Floyd can surpass Pac and RJJ but we have to wait for them all to retire.

    What is it with *****s, they understand only technique but not heart and grit.

    Yeah, because all boxers grow up rich and privileged and Pacquiao is one of the few rags to riches boxers, right?

    Heart and grit? You mean when Pac walked from the biggest fight of his life because of needles?
