    It isn't a big deal. I voted for Manny also and just the timing showed it was Popkin.
    I kept refreshing and right when his post showed I looked up and Manny had 41 votes.
    I am not 100 percent sure, it was just the timing since I kept refreshing the page. But what is the biggie? I voted for Manny also as it is clear he fought greats!!!!!

    Well Duran would beat every man Pacquiao has ever faced, but Pacman wouldn't beat some of the guys Duran did.

    Duran didn't beat Benitez... If we are to talk about who beat more great fighters, at least we should mention the fact that the fighters who lost were either prime or not. Beating 'past it' guys does not count in my book.

    Trick question.

    "Who's beaten more fighters who at one point in their careers were greats" is a completely different query than "Who's beaten more great fighters at the peak of their greatness?"

    If the latter question, Manny has Marquez in the rematch (officially) and Morales and Barrera the first times (calling Cotto post-Margarito "great" is iffy). Duran has Barkley and Leonard (throwing post-Hearns Cuevas out for the same reason stated above for Cotto).

    So it's only slightly in Pac's favor.

    Both men beat a lot of good fighters, and even fighters who at other points in their career were great but at the time were just good.

    You conveniently forgot about Hatton, and you compare Dejesus
    (not even HOF material) with Morales (... an ATG fighter).
    This clearly indicates that your analysis is biased in favor of Duran.
    You count only ~ATG on PAC's list while you stretch everyone you can on Durran's.
    How far from any ATG status is Cuevas, it ain't even comparing to shot DLH.
    You deny Hatton to be on list because he is not ATG, but you are stretching Barkley
    instead even admitting that he is not ATG either, not even a HOF yet.

    Leonard is definitely above anyone on PAC's list but the average of PAC >>
    average of Durran's no matter how much you stretch this.

    Roast in hell you ****ing idiot. PM the moderators and ask them if I voted in that poll right now, and paste their reply onto this thread. I haven't voted in the poll at all, and I have no intention of doing so because it's a stupid, pointless poll. ****ing General Forum bile.

    I would say Pac has beaten more all time greats, but Duran beat Greater all time greats.
