Manny Pacquiao

DEFINITELY NO ONE CAN MATCH HIS RECORD HE MAKE A HISTORY NOT ONLY IN BOXING BUT ALL CHAMPION IN THE WORLD HE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH 8 CHAMPIONSHIP BELT, AT THIS TIME NO ONE CAN BEAT HIM, MAYWEATHER HAVE SO MANY EXCUSES HE AFRAID TO FIGHT MANNY CAUSE HE KNEW HE WILL LOST

spell Manny Pacquiao in English, "THE BEST"
you know why? because he is the best.

Pound for pound BEST IN THE WORLD!... I'm glad he's number one... I mean its not like he has to prove anything.

2Muhammad Ali

If Ali were in the same weight class as Manny he would destroy him. Ali would dissect Manny's brains and make him believe he was invincible. Physically Ali had faster hands, better foot work, the best jab of all time, a diamond chin that was unbreakable and a heart that wouldn't give in. Mentally he is just too smart for Manny, He would psych Manny out and toy with him before and during the fight. He is a genius, and that can't be beaten.

Easily the Greatest of All Time, the greatest boxer, thinker, competitor, role model, and the greatest leader for loving people, competing with his all, and not thinking of his self.

Was Most fearsome boxer in the world he should be no 1

3Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is the truest,
Name a boxer he ain't influenced!

Deadly combination of speed and power to knock anyone out

Unbeatable for six years and only greed through management and some personals he would be untouchable

More comments about Mike Tyson
4Rocky Marciano

Rocky Marciano should be number 1, he beat Ali in the Super Fight Animation! He is still undefeated even though he is dead (RIP), went to 49-0, had one of the hardest punches in fighting history, NOT JUST BOXING! He beat Joe Louis and also MANNY PACQUIAO NUMBER 1!? That's very bad, it is between Ali and Marciano.

marciano is the best... he has begun his career while he was a soldier that is why I appriciate him... besides he just super, best ever

He is the greatest of all time and he also has the greatest single punch of all time when he knocked out joe walcott for the heavyweight championship of the world. 49-0. He is also my favorite boxer of all time. 49-0.

5Julio Cesar Chavez

Was undefeated and was able to go to 88-0 now that's really saying something, about how good he is!

julio represents what a mexican boxer is, all the way to the end...

Went at least 88-0 (13 Years)longest in over 75 years, held titles in three different weight divisions, most successful title defenses (27), most title fights (37), at least 10 year as champ. First pound for pound title. Best fighter ever.

6Sugar Ray Robinson

Ali said himself and always maintained that Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest boxer of all time.

He said of himself, he was the best heavyweight. And because he was the larger man, not the better boxer he would have beaten a Sugar.
Pound for pound Sugar was the best.

Roy Jones wouldn't win against Sugar with both men in their prime even if they fought ten times!

Sugar Ray Robinson was a type of boxer who is so magnificent in every miniscule detail that he is an outstanding and limitless legend, hero, boxer, old school truth Hiphoppa, and person. Sugar Ray Robinson

Pound for pound Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest boxer of all time his record wins in professional and amateur speak for themselves. He was officially never knocked out by any fighter and he fought until he was 45 years old. The man won boxing titles in welter and middle weight divisions. His only blemish is his TKO loss to light heavyweight champion Joey Maxium. A fight he was winning on all judges scoring card until the fight was stopped because of heat exhaustion Robinson suffered fighting at the old Yankee Stadium. He will always be THE GREATEST FIGHTER AND BOXER OF ALL TIME.

7Roy Jones Jr.

really impressing und stunning - untouchable.
combining lightning speed and reflexes with ko-power - he had the complete package.
He was so fast, this enabled him to do what he wanted to, although it surely wouldn't work out for anybody else.
Unique!
Should have fought more in his prime and easily beat everybody - he had no opponents.
Should have end his career after his heavyeight-title-fight.
Poor and sad career-ending.

Held the pound for pound title (the greatest achievement in boxing) longer than anyone else. What else is there to prove.

The man made boxing cool again... he made history! And all these cowards waited till he had nothin to prove to call him out. Calzage, tarver, green, Johnson none of you mattered until after he did it all!

8Floyd Mayweather Jr.

He has never lost, ever. He will never lose. He proves that Invincible don't just exist in movies. He will end paquia with no problem at all. He is the best boxer of all time.

9Joe Louis

I don't understand how he's way down here. He was heavyweight champ for twelve years for god sakes

jdsoaresfamily2

A real peoples champ, he was undefeated for 12 years! and was champion for that long as well!

How can he possibly be rated lower than some of those listed above? Robinson maybe equal or higher, but Ali and Tyson?

10Felix Trinidad

+5If he were to movie to become a Heavyweight he would've easily become one of the best of all time, probably in the top 5. Felix Trinidad as the greatest Puerto Rican athlete of all time. Felix himself is a great Middleweight boxer, one of the fastest punchers and has great foot work, very hard to take down.

+5Always the boxer, on the move, taking on anyone. Great puncher. Best of all time, pound for pound.

+2Felix Trinindad will knock out anyone, best Puerto Rican Athlete of all time besides Carmelo Anthony. But anyway about boxing, I reckon he could take on Ali

11Salvador Sanchez

Salvador Sanchez was so amazing in his time, RIP a legend in Boxing History

Great latino boxer, one of the best fighters to ever step in the ring!

He was the youngest world champ he should be #1

12David Tua

A machine in the ring, and he just recently won one of his fights this year! His record says it all! 53 - 2, how good is that! He is a very rare boxer, there are not many good islander boxers but this guy is unbelievable!

The greatest boxer of all time! Him and Rocky Marciano are the greatest of all time, The greatest athlete in New Zealander and Samoan history! A great fight will be between him and Muhammad Ali, and I reckon he will win!

He is better than Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali! David Tua is the most amazing and underrated boxer in history, he has only lost three fights and is the greatest heavyweight at the moment!

13Roberto Manos de Piedra Duran

greatest latin fighter of all time! no one can match him, ESPN named him number 6 in the greatest boxers of all time!

I remembered in more than one ocassion,when Duran fought in Panama city,we would be in line cause we arrived a few minutes late
to the ficht ,all of a sudden ,we would se everyone was coming out the other door,we tought it was a fire or something,when we asked ,the reply was Duran knocked him out in less than 1 min.,this man was without a doubt,the greatest latin american fighter of ALL times!!!!

At lightweight no one was better he, have murdered benny leonard inside six rounds as for the guys who he fought when he moved up in weight it would be of interest how they would have done with him if they had been the one, moving up to fight him! Somehow I don't think they would have done as well as he did.

14Vitaliy Klitchko

The greatest! He just needs a true challenge to prove himself! He still is the best no matter what! He is what you think Ivan Drago from Rocky IV was like, that is who he is based upon, except the steroids which he doesn't take!

The greatest of all time! Should be in the top ten, hasnt really had a chance, he has fought bums his whole career!

He is the greatest world heavyweight of today and is tonnes better than Mike Tyson! Anyone can tell you that!

15Sugar Ray Leonard

sugar ray is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Leonard was 1 of the most versatile boxers the game has ever seen, from he speed,his ring generalship&toughness.u fools have him ranked at 20 goes to show that u guys don't know nothig about boxing.Lets end on a reel note Aryon Pryor were is he rankm on your list. The Greatest jr welterweight of all time. Up grade your boxing knowledge.

Speed Speed and more speed. A sugar ray flurry was a thing of beauty. Then to do the windup at the end was a thing of beauty. How you couldn't love some of his classic bouts, Hearns, Duran etc.

Leonard is way more better than most people on this list and deserves a spot in the top ten alongside Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali

16Gabriel Flash Elorde

Gabriel is without a doubt the greatest filipino boxer in history! Even better than Pacquiao. He is responsible for 88 wins and one of the most respected figures of all time, RIP Gabriel FLASH Elorde

Elorde is the greatest boxer in the world no doubt! He will beat anyone in the ring and outside and is so much better than Manny PAcquiao! RIP you legend <3

The "Flash" is the best featherweight of all time, world champion! He would beat any body, I mean he won 88 fights! RIP Great boxer of the Filipino Islands!

17Lennox Lewis

Great boxer... But never got the respect he deserve... Heavyweight class was weak during his era... Even weaker now!

The greatest UK boxer of all time! He beat Tua, Tyson and Holyfield! He can beat anyone if he tries his best!

He beat legends like, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and even David Tua! He can battle with anyone if beat all of those three!

More comments about Lennox Lewis
18Joe Frazier

Remember, he knocked Ali's ass to the ground and won the first fight between them.

"strong body with strong upper cut and was a real champ"
Feel sorry about his untimely death... Bye bye joe

19Oscar De La Hoya

A great boxer, and he is definitely better than Leonard and Maywheather!

Great boxer, made more money than any other non heavyweight. Lost a lot of his big fights, out of his prime. Yet he never ducked anybody he went after everyone maybe not the best ever, has my vote for most entertaining. Boxing will miss him

best boxer and he beats floyd mayweather. that's for sure

20Evander Holyfield

+1The best, he beat Tyson and had a lot of good fights and beat a lot of people. He just beat somebody a few months ago at the age of 49!

+1A great fighter! Even better than most of these boxers and has obviously still got it! World Champ and beat TYSON a few times!

+1He beat Tyson a few times and he just recently won a fight over somebody, at the age of 49! He is an amazing boxer!

21Marvin Hagler

Hard as nails, a big punch and a great defense. He was fearless and was the best of the bunch of Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns & Roberto Duran.

one of the greatest middleweights of all time mayweather wouldn't stand a chance

the ultimate and best boxer in the world

22Joe Calzaghe

46-0 simply the best... money pakyaw is ugly... sergio martinez and joe calzaghe are the real deal...!

Unbeaten. Fought and beat number 7. How can an undefeated world class boxer (Boxer not a fighter) not be considered. Is it because he's not American?

undefeated and beat the s*** out of the #7(Jones Jr)

23George Foreman

Greatest boxer of all time. Master of destruction in the ring. One of the most winning fighters in history with a impeccable pedigree of formidable challengers which he defeated.

He beat tyson a few times!

24Bernard Hopkins

Oldest champion ever at 46.. defintly needs to be in the top 10 forsure.

hopkins can adapt to any style and may win by late hnockout or decision

25Jack Dempsey
26Daniel Sendelbeck
27Archie Moore

ZOne of the greatest fighters that ever lived, loved his boxing style, unique, also a great human being

28Alexis Arguello
29Ricky Hatton

Only person to stand up to Floyd Weatherfield Jr. and went 53 and 0, sum acheivement,

30Miguel Cotto

Nice Power And Speed in his Jabs and uppercuts

31Jake LaMotta
32Arturo Gatti

Top Ten, you gotta be freaking kidding me, Mickey Ward lost to Gatti, and Gatti had a broken hand!

Watch his 3rd fight aginast Ward then argue

Lister101

33Charlie Zelenoff

He's so good that even his defeats have been retroactively exhumed from his record. No other champion in history has had a loss removed, because it would be both inaccurate and unfair for a talent as supreme as him to have anything other than a perfect ledger.

A phenomenon. He was the original young brash and flashy G, long before fake G Mayfeather stole his M.O.

Lost his debut but is most talented boxer of all time should get a rematch with Andrew Hartley to get his first pro win and shut the haters up.

itg

34Larry Holmes

49-0 Until they gave him a defeat against Michael Spinks, what a joke.

35Sonny Liston

Come on! He was one of the gretest heavey weights his time.

36Mikkel Kessler
37Éder Jofre
38Anthony Mundine

Please! The only decent fighter he's beaten was a half-starved Danny Green. Left his beat work on the footy field.

39Shane Mosley

Move like a boxer. Hit like a brawler

40Ricardo Lopez

NEAT AND CLEAR TECHNIQUE..100 PER PERFECT IN PUNCHES, FOOTWORK, DEFENCE, SPEED, ONE PUNCH EVERYHTING. HE SHOULD BE FOURTH AFTER THE LEGENDS JOE LOUIS, ROCKY MARCIANO AND MOHAMMED ALI

If they say Rocky Marciano is best of all times cause of his undefeated record... will then move over cause this man is 51-0-1.

41Max Baer

"Most powerful right hand in heavyweight history"

IownU

42Wilfred Benitez
43Tomasz Adamek
44Jimmy Wilde
45Willie Pep

47Nonito Donaire

He is folow the footstep of the filipino flash elorde.

This guy should be number 1.. The best pound per pound boxer in the world... Put a lightweight in this guy and he'll destroy
Them all.
