Who is greater? Manny Pacquiao or Roberto Duran?

Duran by diminishing margin. If Pac defeats Mosley and PBF, he'll be on par.

 

Alot of the posters on here arent even old enough to have seen Duran at his peak. So they will automatically go for theie little New Skool Hero.

DURAN IS GREATER. No doubts about it.

 

Both great but Rocky is greater.

 

I think Duran would beat any form of Pacquaio, but the WW version's of both of them would be interesting to watch and a hard fought bout. For the TS, i hope you realize at lightweight Duran is considered legendary and almost untouchable and would've probably annihilated Pacquiao with his aggressive style and well above average defense. When i think of Duran, i think of a beast that went into his 1st fight with leonard at 72-1. The 80's were bittersweet for him as he did beat Barkley but lost some significant fights. But if we're talking about these man Prime for prime, than we'd be talking about the 70's version of Duran who was a wrecking machine......

 

Well said. I think we are on the same page

 

Roberto Duran is my all-time p4p#6.

Manny Pacquiao is around 25-30 on my list.

Incomparable.

 

Duran has had the much more lengthy career,practically everyone knows Roberto Duran fought absolutey everybody throughout,a 3 decade fighter at the top,that alone beats Pacquiaos career so far.

 

Foreman did, and if Hearns fights again like he says he will, he will become the 3rd. although I am not sure Hearns will fight again. He is turning 52 this year.

 

he murdered barrera so much that MAB would not want to exercise his rematch clause.

Would you know why barrera does what to fight pac again?

 

true

:happy

 

he only won because of his drug use, he is full of ped´s

 

Was there a fighter that had been a champion for three different decades?

that's excellence there

 

...You're a shameless nuthugger. **** off you waste of space.

 

it is because you are underrating pacquiao. Just take a look on the difference between his ranking and the next great boxer of his era.

Pac is atleast 2 brackets ahead of jones and hopkins.

Also, his contribution to the growth of the sport equals that of chavez and dela hoya
