    You must be kidding me. How about Pac Man versus Braxton?

    And did he decisively beat anyone the caliber of Leonard in his prime? Never mind...

    Manny has beaten nine fighters who are or will be in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Duran. Too smart and crafty for Manny

    Duran also quit against the same fighter. Oliver McCall beat Lennox Lewis. Does that mean McCall beats Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, or Oleksandr Usyk? That's not how this works.

    I guess McCall beat other best heavyweights of his era, too, and had one close, nontitle loss, in over 70 fights.

    Pacquiao was great, but I don't see any scenario where Pacquiao can win - not even a puncher's chance - against the prime Duran. Just a bad match-up. Pacquiao is a great fighter; Duran is the best fighter of my lifetime.

    Are we arguing resumes because Manny has a great one. You're arguing that Manny Pacquiao is Johnny Paychek and Duran is Joe Louis.

    No, we are doing head-to-head. I am just rebutting your silly logic. Pacquiao never beat anyone who would remotely trouble a prime Duran, much less beat him.

    And Duran beat people Pacquiao would have no hope in his fantasies of beating.

    A shorter smaller fighter is going to beat Roberto Duran? At what weight lightweight? It's not even close. Erik Morales busted Manny up in their first fight, Duran lays him out

    Shane Mosley would surely trouble Duran.

    A younger Mosley (the one that fought de la Hoya the first time) may have had some moments against Duran due to his sheer hand speed, but not the version who fought Pacquiao.
