For some reason i don’t see the knockout king of all time in this list? i’m pretty sure he should be up there -___-” what is boxing without mike “iron” tyson? He is on my top 3 best of all time… even if his fights were mostly less than 3 rounds and fighting people who are 3-5 foot taller than him he was just too damn exciting to watch… i know he has a bad rep for his sttitude but his performance is deffinetly up there with the all time greats…

all i want to say iz if mayweather really wantz to prove to every1 that he iz p4p the best then i say hell with the money do it for pride…but i guess he has none…and on the other hand pacquiao fights for a whole country and not just for himself,,,keep ur perfect record mayweather but until u get in the ring with pac man i have NO RESPECT for u as a champion…u just playin the cowards game and using money as ur excuse not to fight pacquiao…u and ur father r just the same all mouth no heart…u need to grow a set and man up…and u owe it to ur fans who spend therr hard earn money to c u fight and who want to c u fight pacquiao….they r the reason u have 3 mansions and cars that r fully paid for…so money shouldnt be a problem

In order to be on the list, I believe you need a good list of opponents you’ve fought. Floyd is a good boxer but he’s never been tested; he’s only fought Corralles and Castillo. Anyone else was either not in his weight class or not considered a worthy opponent. He’s fought nobody in the welterweight division that is worth noting. He’s ducked the best, Cotto, margarito, mosley.

It’s a little insulting to call Floyd an all time great. It really discredits those that really deserve the title. Sugar Ray Robinson, he’s fought 200 fights and lost but he travelled around the world to fight the world’s best. He’s proven himself. Haggler, Hearns, Leonard. They ally fought each other and are considered top fighters.

Pacquiao on the other hand beats the best in each division he fights in. He is willing to take risks, and fight bigger, stronger opponents. I’d like to see him face Mosley, the top Welterweight right now (floyd isn’t even the top welterweight, why is he considered so high on the P4P list? He doesn’t even fight welterweights)

Pacquiao vs Mayweather. I really hope Pacquiao wins. I’m not completely sure. Mayweather might be hard to hit, and he’s got a good reach advantage and he’s pretty good at running. I have no doubt, Floyd will NOT KO Manny (don’t listen to his BS). Manny on the other hand, has the power and speed to hurt Floyd pretty badly if he can land.
Good luck to Manny.

i bliv n lil flyod’s abilities, hes a good ring tactician, his defense s something to emulate, but until he faces a fyter his size,a fyter in the league of a true welter caliber, i will put on hold my rankings for him, that will b d day.

i dont understand why mayweather is on the list! he’s not an all time great! he never even tried to beat his weight class top fighters like cotto, mosley or even margarito and you call him all time great compared to pacquiao climbing 7 weight classes and beating top boxers…
