Robert Garcia thinks Pacquiao is one of the best in history
Robert Garcia: "Pacquiao is one of the best in history, and just the fact that we’ve made it that far is what pleases us. We tried to win, we tried everything possible but Pacquiao is Pacquiao."
Is Manny one of the best in history in you eyes? Top 30 maybe?
source Robert Garcia: “I do not feel the urge of getting back at Pacquiao. Pacquiao is one of the best in history!”
Re: Robert Garcia thinks Pacquiao is one of the best in history
Nice interview, yes, I'm one of those who thinks Manny tops Floyd on the ATG list but I still give much credit to the boxing skills, women beating and weekly reader reading Floyd. Seriously, I am glad I am a fan during the reign of these two greats.
Re: Robert Garcia thinks Pacquiao is one of the best in history
Pac is one of the greatest of all time, no doubt. Complete monster.
Re: Robert Garcia thinks Pacquiao is one of the best in history
It's amazing that people would even question it. The fact that people don't think Floyd and Pac are ATG's shows what a bunch of weak-minded "golden age" obsessed phonies most boxing fans are.
Floyd and Pac belong in the same conversation as any boxer who ever lived and that's just a fact. Pac is a beast.

Of course he's one of them. Incredible record and what he did for a few years after moving up from 130 is legendary. He was destroying guys that people would have laughed off the idea of him fighting not long before he did.
Is there another guy in history who competed as a pro flyweight and continued on to be a world class welterweight, let alone great one:dontknow:

Both have faced some respectable competition, but not on the level of those guys. Both need that win plus one more significant win or historical feat to reach that Top 10 level. Where they are is still extremely impressive.
I'm not convinced that those guys fought better opposition than Floyd and Pac.
I find that people will go through the records of modern guys with a fine tooth comb, but give yesterday's greats the benefit of the doubt. Sugar Ray Robinson, Armstrong... these guys fought a LOT of bums that didn't belong in the ring with them - guys of a level that, if Floyd or Pac tried to fight that kind of level today - the athletic commissions would not allow it.
Re: Robert Garcia thinks Pacquiao is one of the best in history
I personally think when you look at in ring talent, it's SRR, Floyd, and everyone else. No one had the complete package like those guys did.
I don't care where people rank Floyd, but if they don't have him in their top 20 at least, I know that their opinion about anything boxing related is useless.
Floyd is an asshole and a P.O.S but his skill and accomplishments have to be acknowledged.
