Who is greater? Manny Pacquiao or Roberto Duran?

in respect to duran, i would rank him in the top 5 had he retired after his LW career.

His losses to benitez, hearns and No Mas are just too much for him to be top 8 ATG

 

One of the best posts i've seen. :good

 

you know what you are insane and warrant no further responses after that statement
end thread

 

And Duran was post-prime when he was fighting the likes of Leonard, Hearns, Hagler.

Actually the unusual thing with Duran is that he had his peak performance against Leonard in the first fight, then parties like there is no tomorrow for weeks afterward, and was dumb enough to rush into a rematch with Leonard, enters weight drained and understandably gets schooled by a primed Leonard.

Then in a moment of frustration at his own stupidity for ****ing up his preparation for that rematch fight, does "No Mas" and pretty much mentally retires from boxing after that(even if his body enters the ring), has an atrocious run for the next 2 years before he regroups against Cuevas and Davey Moore.

After a noble loss to Hagler, what else is there in the sport for him to do, so he goes mentally walkabout again and is stupid enough to fight Hearns in that state.

 

OVerall career hell no! WOuld you say Manny took the easy way out when kod by what looked like a harmless body punch?

 

Roach is the same guy that when he was training Toney, he said Toney is top 10 all time great heavyweight fighter. <<<If he was supporting Toney for that then why not with Pacquiao?

 

Was there a former flyweight champion in HISTORY that was ever rated 130 lbs and up?

Dont forget cotto. Cotto would have gave Duran hell








That's a joke by the way. Clearly Duran.

 

pac was weight drained. and for duran, what would be his excuse?

 

Duran would slaughter those 3. 1 victory over Leaonard tops them. I'm not so sure Pac beats Ray, or Duran for that matter

When Pac is done his resume may look better than Duran's but let's not ignore the fact that Duran fought in a much tougher era, please

 

Well i would take a prime Dejesus over a past it Morales(who beat up Manny). Buchanan was on par with Marquez, Duran kod Buchanan Marquez was robbed against Manny.

 

Cotto would have beat Leonard far worse then Duran did lol.
