I have only been cognicent of boxing since the 80's so I really couldn't tell if he can be classified in the Greatest Ever category yet. But from the fighters I've seen from my generation, the Pacman is right up there with Mike Tyson, Suger Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and yes, the great Muhammad Ali.
Of course the criteria used will make a difference but think for a moment where Manny is at this point of his career. He has won his last four fights in different divisions against champions. He has demolished the last three with the greatest of ease. He has charisma that attracts millions who idolize him and consider him a hero. Manny "retires" champion boxers. The only fighter who he has not sent into obscurity is Juan Manuel Marquez. The only that can stop Manny for boxing immortality is politics.
Is he the greatest ever? I think he's the greatest now. The greatest maybe even the last 20 years all things considered. I think if he wins a few more against future Hall of Famers like Mayweather Jr., talk of greatest ever is fair game.

Depends, but he needs to beat Mayweather for him to be great.
Not yet. Beating Mayweather and shutting up his big mouth will strengthen Manny's case.
But he will be even greater if he STOPS THINKING about running for congressman. Politics will ruin his good name.
Nice site. I see you're still heavy into hoops, post-NU. Hope you've maintained that smooth jumper of yours.
I do miss the NU days! I still get to play once or twice a week but I mostly just watch now (getting old). As for the jumper, I'm think it's still there. Hehe.
Another key reason why people try to make use of generic versions of Viagra
is the decreased cost involved. This makes people less likely to be concerned if the medication is not quite as effective as the Viagra UK
created by Pfizer. The manner in which many people purchase generic Cheap Cialis
can also decrease the ability to reclaim the cost if the product is found to be ineffective.
vHowever, the vast majority of men can take Generic Viagra even if they are suffering from other health problems as long as they don't prevent them from engaging in sex. The cheap Viagra allows them to have a normal and active sex life and increases their self esteem and overall outlook on life. Unfortunately, there are more cases being reported of Viagra sale being used as a recreational drug.
