Who is greater? Manny Pacquiao or Roberto Duran?

He's adamant that Manny Pacquiao fought a lot more All-time Greats than Duran did. Duran fought four of them, Manny fought three of them. Oscar De La Hoya was weight-drained, according to Freddie Roach, and Erik Morales was past his prime by 2004. I don't see this significant edge that Pernell is seeing, perhaps he can indulge me further?

 

I was gunning for you as well, Pea. :bart:-((

 

That just makes to much sense for the General Forum...best save it for somewhere else.

I really couldnt care less about the back and forth of it anymore, there is no point debating it with these peasants.

To tell you the truth, the lowest possible ranking I can see for Roberto and the highest possible ranking I can see for Manny are getting pretty close now. A decisive win over Money-Mosley winner, then Im not going into silly debates about who is greater. I like both guys and they are both true ATGeezys.

 

Hector Camacho would have schooled Marvelous aswell then.

 

This deserves another quote.

 

I'm with you Rock.

I think there's a tendency to overrate the fighters of our own era. Ricky Hatton better than Ken Buchanan? :huh Miguel Cotto was maybe the equivalent to Carlos Palomino, a fighter Duran utterly dominated. When we look deeper at both men's resumes, I don't think Pacquiao's resume is any more impressive than Roberto Duran's.

 

Yey Zab Judah is at least as fast as Pac and he beats Hagler too, hell probably even Sugar Ray Robinson and Carlos Monzon we all know Monzon wasnt that fast.

 

Camacho would have easily beat a prime Leonard then he did vs a 40 year old over the hill shot Leonard. :rofl

 

Pac has 2-3 more fights to go before he calls it quits. Maybe, boxing historians will give us a better perspective in comparing the careers of these two great fighters.

 

its


3 things are obvious he has not seen enough duran fights, he hasno idea what a great fighter is, and he overrates pacs last 4 opponents
