    WEll imo that is why i do rate Manny so highly just cant put him above Duran.

    So i guess we both agree that both feats are unprecendented.

    and his loss to all the greats. The man did not beat greats. his whole record is based on beating average guys at lightweight and beating Leonard. OVERRATED!!!

    :lol: You're a clown Asero, and always have been. Duran lost to one of the best fighters in the world at the time, Benitez was a much bigger guy and that was apparent in the ring. Because Duran lost in '82 against Benitez, offsets his victory in '89 over Barkley. **** it, Pacquiao's win over Barrera is offset by his loss to Singsurat in '99. See how absolutely ludicrous and ridiculous that sounds?

    Anarci, you're wasting your time with these clowns. Asero sniffs Manny's panties before breakfast every morning, and Pernell here is punch drunk, never seen a Duran fight in his life.

    one has nothing to do with the other, but hey while we are using your logic, then manny´s wins are offset by his loss, to a shopworn morales.

    then pac still has wins over much bigger huys in hatton, cotto, odlh, morales

    Duran's win over Barkley is just as big as his lost to Benitez
    Pac's lost to 3K Battery was because he was just an ordinary fighter then but was already the lineal champ

    those two guys lost in their next fights proving that their win over pac was a fluke.

    all excuses. losing easily to Benitez when he was younger does not offset beating Barkley. A crude guy who lost to every middleweight.
