Every accomplishment in life is relative. You have to compare one experience to another similar experience in order to make a measurement.
Now look at the 'list of boxers' you composed to make an argument that Pacquiao's achievements are not really that great.
Every boxer in that list is not just a champion, but rather a hall of fame champion. You take exception to Hatton, "Elite" is the term you use to exemplify, Pacquiao defeated a great fighter. (that's an oxymoron)
If you look at the life of Manny Pacquiao and where he came from and I mean truly look at it, you might get the sense that his accomplishments are nothing short of truly incredible!
If you want to make an objective statement about Pacquiao's accomplishments, then stick to simple boxing facts. Otherwise your obvious bias shows up in thread title, and your prejudges shines.
