    Many people think Manny is now a top great, and others think Roberto Duran is all time great near the top, while others think Duran is overrated and never beat a real great fighter while losing to all the legends like Leonard,Hearns,Hagler,Benitez in the eighties. Who is greater? Manny or Roberto?

    Prime for prime Duran beats Pac. Oscar DLH knocks Pac out in five even in his prime.

    Duran beating a prime legend in Leonard is way better then all of Pacquiao opponents that Pacquiao beat. <<<Guess who you think i pick?

    As I heard other people say Sugar Ray was not prime when Duran beat him. The rematch he lost easily when all Ray did was change his strategy. I hate to say it but Manny has beaten better fighters than Duran ever did. Duran fought greater guys than Manny but Manny has beaten better fighters. No matter what. Look what Hearns and Benitez did to Duran. He couldn't do anything with them and people think he was as great as Manny P? Let us say it. Manny P. > Roberto D.

    Duran didn't beat many greats to be there. What got him there his multitude of excuses?Manny has beaten greats without excuses. And the verdict? Manny P. > Roberto D.

    You think Manny would have beaten Hearns, Hagler, Leonard? :rofl Pacquiao lost to Morales and barely got by Marquez. Morales and Marquez are not even close to Hagler, Hearns, Leonards level.

    Nobody who isn't ignorant about Duran thinks he never beat a real great fighter. That's just silly.

    Manny is greater!!!!! Pacquiao beat Barrera and Morales and and Delahoya all greats and what greats did Duran beat? Who did he stop? All you dudes can say is Leonard who made a fool out of Duran and outboxed him easy 2 times after. Ray has a TKO over Duran!!!The proof for Duran being so good is not there. So called boxing experts here don't look at boxing resumes

    Duran didn't beat hit me Hearns or Sugar man or Benitez so what does it matter asking if Manny would? Manny would do better against Hearns than Duran would. My grandmother would. Duran was suspended in air and fell face first. Yeah good performance by Duran.
