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

Marcel is better than anybody FMJ beat. That includes Diego Corrales and an old DLH and old Pacquiao.

Duran was 18 years old when he beat Marcel. And wasn't even half the fighter he would later become.

We could keep going.

 

What are the BS excuses.

 

Marcel beat Arguello. Who did an old DLH, old Pac or Diego Corrales beat?

 

And? It's called being rational. To not consider he was grossly overweight and undertrained is not being rational.

 

He actually managed to drag Leonard into multiple exchanges that he slightly won at rounds 5-6,then he stops at 7 and quits at 8.

It will always be a blemish,and Floyd and Manny will never be remembered for quitting like Duran did,but i would still stand with the others,that single peak performance vs Leonard was enough.

 

Did I say Duran was professional in the Leonard rematch?

 

I thought we were talking about resume?

 

I agree that Duran allowing himself to get out of shape is a black mark on his career. But I thought in this thread we were discussing resume. I already told you by the age of 18 that Duran had already beaten Marcel.

FMJ best win is Diego Corrales.

It's not close man.

We haven't even gotten to DeJesus or Leonard.

 

Its just a stupid thread in an attempt to gain attention.
Durans resume is head and shoulders above Mayweathers and it is not up for debate.

1. Ken Buchanan
2. Ernesto Marcel
3. Saoul Mamby
4. De Jesus X 2
5.Thompson
6. Brooks
7.Palamino
8. Leonard
9. Cuevas
10.Moore

I haven't even named all the contenders he defeated.
The man was a pro for THIRTY THREE YEARS.
He has double the wins of a Mayweather
He has SEVENTY KNOCKOUTS.

 

Duran is among my favourite fighters, but he lost to Leonard in the rematch, because Ray is better and a little naturally bigger.

Ray didn't get emotionally invested this time and fought his own fight. Duran beating Ray in Montreal is one of the greatest wins in history, but Ray was a better boxer head to head
