Is Paquiao the p4p G.O.A.T

[JR Rider]

Lost 3 times, twice to bums.

Should have lost to Marquez at least once.

Will lose to Mayweather.

That would be a 'no', then.

He still hasn't bow down to his daddy. Money Mayweather will Kill him..

[S A M U R A I]

Beating a past prime De le Hoya and a Hatton whose lost his ability to take a shot doesn't make you P4P GOAT. If he beats Mayweather convincingly he'll be a serious contender for that title though

You assess a fighter who went through tons of weight classes starting from 106 to 147 (41 pounds) and had 54 fights, by his last two fights alone, one of which he jumped two weight classes to take on a future Hall Of Famer and the other being a weight class he'd never fought in, only to brutally KO the guy who's been ruling his division for close to 5 years in the second round?

Are you even a boxing fan?

Pacquiao is not the GOAT, but he's up there with some of the greatest fighters who ever lived. He hasn't finished his brilliant career yet either. Let's bump this topic when he's retired, then we can make a sensible assessment.

LMAO at this thread.

He's top 20 definately now, IMO you can't reach SRR's record unless you fight as frequently as they did back then which we all know isn't going to happen

[The Underboss]

Not yet, if he wins a title at 147 then he's on the road to become ONE of the best p4p fighters of all times.

The reason why many boxers fought frequently every month was because they were in need of money desperately.

taxes were hitting professional athletes hard during those times.

[Motofan]

Not even close. He may have shocked the world by moving up and destroying people as easily as he has, but the fact remains that he has 3 official loses (history doesnt care if you were 16 when you lost 2 of those) and should have lost 2 times in the eyes of most to JMM. So is a guy with 3 official losses and 2 unofficial ones the best that ever fought? Nope.

[Pullcounter]

obvious it's too early to tell but I voted yes just to piss some of you guys off

Great post,

I'm so sick of these Pac haters who always bring up the losses when he was 17 and 21 years old. He was malnurished, inexperienced, and most importantly didn't have the right coach. Roach is a big part of Pac's success and Pac is completely different fighter from even 3-4 years ago, and they have the nerve to criticize those early losses.

Not to mention that nearly all of the fighters that do qualify for the all time GOAT list have losses themselves. Many, like SRR, have many losses. Although he fought so many fights, he still has many of them. Besides a boxer's achievements is not measured by their losses but by their wins.
