Who is the greatest living boxer ?

The correct answer is Duran

Prob for second I'd go Leonard.

 

The only correct answer is Duran

 

Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mayweather, Pac

 

Between PBF and Usyk. Leonard, Hearns and Duran are up there too.

 

I don’t think its fair to say Duran is obviously greater than Leonard, May, or Pac.

Their claims to the top spot and achievements are different, but its difficult to weigh which is best.

For me, Leonards 3 victories over Duran, Hearns, and Hagler at strong points in their careers take the cake. These are fighters who are ranked among the top of their respective divisions historically, as well as being favored over many of if not most in head to head match ups.

Pac has a nearly fictional sounding dominant weight class climb….

Floyd beat a high level of opponents over the course of his career while hardly looking vulnerable, granted his competition is generally lesser than the others for one reason or another.

With all that said, Duran of course has insane longevity, great wins including one over Leonard, and is probably the most impressive weight climber who we can’t justifiably accuse of PED usage… He’s also the only one of the bunch who is pretty reliably ranked as the best to ever do it at his best weight.

In any case, I love giving all of these guys their flowers.

 

Duran!

 

Duran. He's a top 10 all time for me.

 

Roberto gets the nod.

 

Luis Ortiz, he's just about to come into his prime honestly!! Being serious would have to say Duran or Pacquiao!

 

How does one look beyond Prince Naseem Hamed?

 

Oh for the love of money, the greatest living fighter is Roberto Duran and it ain't close.

 

Prime for prime, Holmes beats Duran easily. Not even close.

 

And its not even close.
