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.

Buchanan is no ATG, Marquez is

Are some of the posters arguing for Pac, by downplaying Duran's achievements, just Trolls looking to pit the Duran fans against Pac, or do they have a legitimate history of supporting Pac.

I quite like Pac, so I don't want to fall into a trap of downplaying what he has done to date, just because there are some ******s(claiming to be Pac fans), running amok.

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

Not so sure? lol come on man. Leonard or Duran would have easily beat Pacquiao. Pacquiao hasn't beaten any fighters close to Leonard, Duran level.

Duran didn't beat a leonard level no really. RAy came back and beat Duran easily.simply put. Duran never dominated a great fighter. FACT!!!! Pac has dominated several.

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.

I can't say I had noticed you on this board before, but I really find it hard to believe you are genuinely as stupid as you appear.

You must be trolling.
