I have gone on the record before and said that in my opinion, Manny Pacquiao is the greatest fighter of all time. This is just an opinion, and it's open to dispute and debate. People have their opinions and some agree with mine, and some do not.
I do know this much, when you look at the 1970/80's and then the 1980'90's the first two names that come to mind in boxing are Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson. When you look from 2000 and on, the king of the hill is Manny Pacquiao.
Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and Manny Pacquiao. These are the three names that stick out the most in boxing since the 1970's until now. Many times when a boxing scribe or historian is asked who they think the greatest of all time is, they will respond that it's a matter of which era you are asking about.
Of course we all know of and have seen Muhammad Ali amaze boxing fans inside of the ring. His classics with Jor Fraizer, Ken Norton, and George Foreman are written in the history books. Then of course comes in Mike Tyson. Iron Mike dominated the 90's. He beat many of his opponents before the first punch was even thrown. His mental game was just as good as his physical game.
Manny Pacquiao took the torch in the early 2000's and has since to look back. His epic victories over Mexican Hall of Fame fighters, and his victories over much bigger fighters have cemented his name into the Hall of Fame. The very second he's eligible he goes in to the Hall. Pacquiao's 8 world titles and his outside of the ring accomplishments will give the historians plenty to write about.
Ali, Tyson, and Pacquiao, three names that every boxing fan has heard of and more importantly, it's three names that non boxing fans have heard of.
Mississippians know what legends are all about. This state has plenty of sports athletes that are legends. San Francisco 49er great Jerry Rice. Chicago Bears all time great Walter Payton and GB Packers Super Bowl winning QB Brett Favre, all from Mississippi. Steve "Air" McNair God rest his soul is another great player from Mississippi. This state has delivered legends to the sports world.
In boxing when you ask most fans who's the greatest that ever lived? I am guessing many of them will say Ali, Tyson, and now Manny Pacquiao.
There are a lot of really good fighters that have made their mark in boxing. There are a lot of great fighters that have made their mark, but there are only a handful of elite fighters. An elite fighter is a fighter that has defeated legends. Elite fighters become household names. Elite fighters become heard of by non boxing fans. Elite fighters take it to a whole new level. Pacquiao, Tyson, and Muhammad Ali all three have done just that.

of them ALL
Obviously, The only difference are attitude and PAC's 8th.
GODSPEED PACTEAM!!!
CONGRATULATION TO OUR NEW ADDED HERO. MR. NONITO " THE FILIPINO FLASH" DONAIRE JR. JOB WELL DONE, VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
very well said
yes,i agree the three names are the three kings of boxing. of their prime...
Pure Pacquiao masturbation! Ohhhhh
Manny "Pac-Man"Pacqiao is the GREATESt love of ALL. inside and outside the RING
Pacquiao the greatest fighter of all time? i dont think so yet. he has to beat floyd mayweather jr to erase any cloud of doubt. however, if floyd jr. still refuses to fight pacquiao, then i agree, by default on floyd's part - manny pacquiao is the greatest fighter of all time!!!
Pochiooa need not to beat the chicken 'cuase everyone knows he is afraid to lose. He knows that he cannot beat pochiaoo. He knows like hatton he will sleep in the canvass.
I can't understand why a lot of people like you still think that the mega fight will happen. Can't you not learn from some respectable boxing commentators and analysts and from an HBO associate that it's a fight not meant to be. Otherwise, it wld have been done by Floyd himself without the help of GBP. Pure and simple, Floyd doesn't want to get into the ring with money. You people can enumerate your own lists of excuses.
Manny Paquiao ia a new savior of boxing just like Ali @ Tyson his wonderful behavior and greatest achievement can proclaim him as a greatest boxer of all time.
yes PACQUIAO!!!! and definitely PACQUIAO!!!!!
I think the Pac-Man could be the best of all time, but it's too early to say at this point. Maybe after he fought his last round and his resume could be compared with the other greats then we could say it for certain.
Great article
With what he have done inside the squared ring with unpararelled record, Pacquiao's name is synonymous to boxing. That's all I can say!

Mayweather Jr. was beaten by Pacman already,Man...stop dreaming! coz Mayweather conceded physically to Pacquiao. LOL,mentally Mayweather still fighting him every rounds of his minutes...

If the 3 KINGS realy want to find out who's the best out there, they shooul duke it out, ha ha ha
you're right ringsider! everybody else know that gayweather already conceded by refusing to fight pacman that's an indication that he is no longer interested to the mega fight he had so many alibi enough to make himself looks coward. so if i were him i would rather keep my mouth shut and concentrate to my legal problem. cause that's where he good at beating helpless woman...and trowing trash talk....
Nice article.

pacquaio is not yet the best. But he's well on his way to becoming one. Certsinly, he has gone way past mayweather at this point despite floyd's rantings.
Got something to say?
