The former world champion, Manny Pacquiao, is considered one of the finest boxers of his generation. In one of his past videos, he revealed his favorite boxers list, which didn’t include the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson. 

In an interview with Fox Sports, the interviewer asked Pacquiao about his 4 top boxers of all time. Pacquiao fumbled a bit at the start. Eventually, he replied, “You’re giving me a hard time. Uhm, Roy Jones Jr., Julio César Chávez [Sr.], Muhammad Ali, I would like to include my … Sugar [Ray] Leonard.”

Pacquiao uttered the names of legendary boxers who have achieved great feats in their career. Shockingly, he didn’t take the name of Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson, who are considered the greatest of their respective generations.
