    Duran beat srl nuff said. Pac has never beat anyone within 10000 light years of srl. Even still he has too many loses and people have excuses for all of them. You can't pick and choose who you give excuses to for losses and who you don't. That's my biggest problem with duran and his fans.

    Manny has the pleasure of knowing every success he's had he's EARNED!! by his own blood sweat & tears. He had to come up the hard way he had to fight to survive & feed his family. At 17 he was fighting grown men experienced boxers so yes he lost a few by KO. If he'd had the chances Floyd had coming up in the amateurs just imagine what he'd have achieved. If Floyd had the life Manny had as a teenager do you think he would have done as well ?? Tony was the same he was fighting pro at 17 When I first met him in Ft Worth Tx he'd been recommended by Wayne Harrison's son Wayne jr who lived in Mexico city & gave the names to his Dad for some of his cards in Texas
    I'll never forget Wayne sr saying " My son said take no notice of his record this kid can FIGHT!! he could go somewhere" He was right

    Whats to be jealous of in Floyd?? He's had every advantage given him throughout his career. He's "won" fights we all know he really lost. He's cheated & had the state commission cover his ass on several occasions. It was a well known fact that a fighter would have to knock him out twice to lose a split decision in Vegas. I admire fighters like Pac & Antonio Margarito who came up the hard way & the success they got they EARNED !! No one gave them anything
    Now Canelo has taken over from Floyd. I'm sorry but I have no respect for these sort of Prima Donnas. Theyre not my type of FIGHTERs at all

    I have no respect for Leonard either for the way he stabbed Donald Curry in the back. I was right there in Ft Worth when that was going on. I dont think old Ray visits Texas too often after that
    Dave Gorman asked me one day why i'd called him Saccharin Ray I said theres only one Sugar Ray & thats Mr Robinson

    1) Who has Mayweather beat who is in the same league as SRL? Pacquiao doesn't count because he came into their fight injured.

    2) Do you have the same issue with Sugar Ray Robinson having 19 losses on his record.

    Canelo and Mayweather fought EVERYONE all different styles prime and past prime, there's nothing to hate about that, On the other hand you support a dirty fighter who played with other innocent fighter's life in Margarito, you also support Pacquiao who AVOIDED all slick boxers in his prime and refused drug testing.

    Which slick boxers did Pacquiao avoid?

    Where is the evidence that Pacquiao ducked more fighters than Mayweather?

    Raheem after beating Morales, Guzman and Casamayor , throw in Juan Diaz, Pacquiao went after the weakest champ David Diaz instead

    I'd rather have floyd's career, I wouldn't have the heart and stones to have Manny's career.

    What are you dribbling on about?

    Raheem never fought Guzman or Casamayor. The Pac vs Morales fights took place at Super Featherweight. It would be another 3 years until Pac moved up to lightweight where Raheem fought at after 2004 and had beat Morales at in 2005. By the time Pac moved up Raheem was irrelevant.

    Juan Diaz lost his lightweight titles to Nate Campbell in March of 2008. The same month that Pac fought JMM at Super Featherweight. It was only after the 2nd fight with JMM that Pac moved up to lightweight. The prospect of Pac fighting Juan Diaz for a lightweight title was never on the table.
