Mayweather, Pacquiao, Ali: The 10 greatest boxers of all time named in study

In all sports, the ‘GOAT’ list will always be a discussion and boxing is no different. Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and Muhammad Ali are often branded about, but who comes out on top?

BoxRec compiled their list of the boxing greats, forming a top 10, but be warned, there are a few shock exclusions!
