Manny is an ATG. Undoubtedly and unquestionably.

An All Time Great.

[lagako10]

The one and only pacman greatest boxer of all time

[Monty Fisto]

One of the all-time greats... And he's still going. Just as Lampley says, it is mind-boggling. What a phenomenal story it would be if he could pull off one more victory.

My dad took me to the Oscar-Castellijo fight and I didn't even realize until a couple years later I had also seen this Pacquiao-Ledwaba fight on that undercard. I remembered the fight, I remember Pac but at the time you don't like oh **** that's Manny Pacquiao. I just remembered he was a Philipino lefty with the blondish highlights

Manny's team was all dressed alike walking around the casinos on Friday/Saturday; he was a nobody here but his damn team was all over the place, so he already had a presence about him...you wouldn't miss these people. I don't remember when it all clicked, it might have been only as he stood across the ring when he was about to fight Barerra or Marquez and I was like oh damn these guys might be in trouble! Can't believe it has been that long, Pac is definitely a connection and bridge for me to those great boxing times in the 2000s, timeless fighter
