Billy Conn, Ezzard Charles, Gene Tunney, Tommy Gibbons, Archie Moore...yeah I consider those guys greater but RJJ isn't too terribly far behind

---

you're both smoking crack :)

Roy Jones was good enough to outclass the guys he fought but....frankly he wasn't as great a fighter as his ego seemed to think. Basically he was a pampered showboating clown. So you go back to your own crack pipe.

ner i think your way of with that one, boxing is full of ego's and if it werent for boxers ego's we would never see all the best fights becuase they wouldnt take them if they didnt think they could win them would they?...

definately, and while his 'confidence' allowed him to do some truly great things in the ring, his ego wasn't anywhere near as big as he made it out to be

alot of it was for the show just like it was with Ali and Ray Leonard, but some people have the issue of taking everything literal and have a tendancy to let that cloud their perception - unfortunately it takes dickheads like that to make the world go round :)

yeh man i agree!!
his confidence and slight ego got him far!!
i just watched him fight glen jonson earlier and he just didnt want it as bad as johnson... he looked like he barely wanted it atall when he got in there
there was a lack of passion in those fights and i havnt seen the latest roy jones fight but i hope he brings his old passion for putting on a show in his next big fight and goes and enoys his money!!

I think Ali was great but I also think he lost 2 0f 3 to Ken Norton, I think he lost the fight with Jimmy Young regardless of the decisions, we know he lost to Joe Frazier and Leon Spinks. I personally think Larry Holmes was right up there with the greatest in the heavy weight division. Looking at the heavies you have to look at Ali, Larry Holmes and Joe Louis, those 3 were not only great but had longevity, and I think Louis would have lost to both Ali and Holmes.

It's only their 42nd post, so take it easy on him and explain in the kindest gentlest way possible that Svenn Ottke was the imbodiment of all that is evil and wrong in boxing.

Lyle I would like to think that someone like you who likes to analyse and review things in depth would do that also for boxing topics and not just for all those other threads you create in the hidden board.

To say that Manny Pac is the 'GREATEST' cuz thats what the title states is quite honest absurd. And don't stretch my comments out and over do it. Manny has had 2 huge victories in his career.
His win over MAB was at 126 (Featherweight) not Super Feather. So thats that.
He then faught JMM also at 126 and got lucky with a Draw.


At 130 Super Feather where 'you' list him as the GREATEST hes like this;
He faught Erik and lost a UD
He the faught Hector Velasquez (42-10) not a World Class fighter by any means
He then rematched Erik in TKO'ed him in a very fashionable way
His last outing was against a 'natural' Super Bantamweight Oscar Larios thats 2 weight classes above. Thats like Pacquiao fighting JLC, Cotto or Hatton at 140. I give Larios props for taking the fight after all his career is winding down and I'm sure he was hoping for a miracle that night.

So as you can see, or should I say from what I can see he hasnt done anything GREAT at 130 to be considered the GREATEST there. Hes 1-1 with Erik and has beaten 2 other guys. In all honesty I cant see how you can say he will overshadow MABs career if he keeps on. Now that when you talk about MAB in the feature people will always bring up Pac thats a different story. But remember Sanchez beat Gomez badly and still that doesnt take ANY credibilty away from Gomez and what a GREAT career he had.
So if Pacquiaos the GREATEST at Super Featherweight then damn!!! where does that leave; Alexis, MAB & Azumah ???

And I know you put 'IF' Paquaio continues like this, still at this moment hes not there yet.

By the way quit using BoxRec as your source I've told you before their ratings are way off.
