list = RandomInteger[10, {20, 2}]

{{2, 2}, {1, 8}, {1, 1}, {4, 7}, {7, 6}, {7, 8}, {7, 2}, {2, 2}, {6,
   6}, {3, 7}, {7, 5}, {4, 8}, {9, 2}, {6, 0}, {0, 8}, {9, 2}, {1,
   0}, {10, 3}, {9, 1}, {9, 9}}

This shows which elements pass the test:

Less @@@ list

{False, True, False, True, False, True, False, False, False, True, \
False, True, False, False, True, False, False, False, False, False}

And this shows whether ALL elements pass the test:

And @@ Less @@@ list

False
