    Some say Roberto Duran only beat one great fighter which is probably true and that many has beaten several. Which is also true. Who has beaten more great fighters?

    This poll is funny. If Duran wins this poll you know that people are rating him too high since Manny has beaten more greats in his career.

    Duran fans will not come to this thread much. Even they know Duran doesn't have the wins against great fighters that Manny does.

    Even though Pac beat a zombied dryed out ODLH i will give him that and Duran still has him beat

    Pacs list
    Barrera- His best win
    Marquez very questionable i thought he lost the 2nd fight and 1st was also questionable although i thought a draw was fair.
    Morales- Equal to Durans triology with Dejesus.
    Delahoya- i begrudginly give him this.
    Cotto- i dont think he is great but he i will give Pac some love here since he beat an in shape top notch Welter after jumping in weight

    Hatton dont make the cut as atg even putting Cotto there was reaching.

    Durans list
    Marcel- HE was great beat Arguello and was very good HTH above Cotto thats for sure
    Buchanan- One of the best Euros ever and maybe a top 10 All time LW
    Dejesus- Excellent fighter i rate him above Cotto on my all time PR fighters
    Palomino- Was one of the top dogs for a while at Welter and a HOF.
    Cuevas- BIg bomber a little past it but not as much as Oscar was against Pac
    Leonard- This win is probably one of the greatest ever in history for a fighter jumping up
    Barkley- Barkley might have not been an atg but he will probably be in the HOF one day and this win was just as good as the Cotto win. You might ask why since Cotto PFP is probably better? Yey but Duran was hitting 40 when he beat a future LH champ who was a 1/2 a foot taller and physically way way bigger, outsized Duran a lot more than Cotto did Pac.

    Score Duran 8 Pac 5

    Of course Duran! The guy had what... 120 fights in his almost 30 year career, and against so many greats... Duran all the way!

    Just for arguments sake, I'd like to see those who voted Pac to give a rundown like this...

    Pacturds, stop sucking on Manny's d---! He'll never be as great as Duran. You don't know the history of the greatness of Duran's times. Pac has fought has beens and an almost great Cotto. Duran the list goes on and on. Get over it.

    Marcel,Buchanan,Dejesus,Palomino,Barkley are not all time great fighters. No way. Cuevas was but he was past his prime big time and Leonard won the rematch. Fact is Manny beaten more greats. You cannot put those guys are greats? Dejesus was in the HOF, but the all time great ranking. no way
