Myth: Roberto Duran has a better resume than Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

I have no idea how you guys could go back and forth for so long here.

Very impressive.

 

Dunno if Duran whoops him,but he had a shot at beating Floyd.

Him being quite adaptable doesn't mean Duran wasn't too,he adapted good and could've win if he was conditioned better for the second Leonard fight.

 

He lost to DeJesus, Leonard (quit job), Laing, and Benitez. Floyd was a more skilled boxer than all of them.

 

He did avenge his loss to De Jesus later, actually adapted to Leonard before quitting,and that Laing fight was competitive,I will give the Benitez loss as genuine though,despite Duran looking very lethargic.

For a fighter who don't really enjoy training,a well prepared Duran might as well be a tough challenge for Mayweather.

 

lol @ “adapted to Leonard”

 

DeJesus, Leonard and Benitez would all beat Marquez pretty comfortably.

 

Maybe Leonard would, but that has nothing to do with this discussion.

 

I'm confused. I thought this was a thread discussing resume.

 

Duran lost to those guys. Marquez is a random Floyd win and he might’ve beaten two of them.

 

Yea and? Duran at his peak never lost either.

 

In a P4P list were would you rank all 3?

 

He lost literally months after his absolute peak performance. Floyd never even lost while past his prime.

 

I disagree. He had 5 months to lose a tremendous amount of weight. Never lost at his peak. And he beat significantly better fighters than FMJ did.

 

Idk, but Floyd would be above Manny, who would be above Duran. And Floyd would have the largest distance between them.

 

If you have to make bs excuses, he ranks lower as an ATG.
