The Batman Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Personally for me, as he's fought for so long at so many weights, he has to be regarded as the best. 8 Division World Titles is just immense. If the fight with Mayweather ever happened, I'd back him. Other obvious boxers for the greatest ever include Cassius Clay, Rocky Marciano, Joe Calzaghe, Apollo Creed but for me, all about Manny. Over to you wonderful people of the OTIB board. All about personal opinion at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riaz Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well, I thought Floyd Mayweather was the best. But after seeing the margarito fight, I've changed my mind. Dont think mayweather would be able to handle pacman now..... would be hell of a fight tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 i remember when he fought Hatton and all my mates were there saying how Hatton was gonnna destroy him and "the other guy" didn't stand a chance (typical british bias of those who know nothing about boxing) needless to say, my prediction of Manny to win within 4 rounds went down like a led balloon with them......

Yeah I knew Manny would just out box him and pick him off. HAttons game plan was windmill in arms flaying, hilarious to watch, but the most mismatched fight in history, and Hatton took the beating of his life.
