i think Duran was in his prime at welter tbh. He looked amazing against Palamino and leonard but it was when he moved to 154 that he really slipped. Pac IMO would destroy Tzyu, the guy is way overrated IMO. The two greatest 140 lbers are Aaron Pryor and Chavez. For the poll..... ****ing hell its a tough one, but i think that pacquiao just gets bullied and Duran ko's him late.
how old was duran then? Duran looked **** against flashy movers, id back floyd+prime mosley agaibst duran and id back pacman
I love it..a modern day great like Jones loses @ 35...gets called a fraud. and Duran is past it at 31....why no rematch with Kirkland Lang? thats like Shane mosley losing to Micheal Jennings I dont think ud be giving Mosley that gratitude listen Duran is brilliant, but so are the fighters from this era
Don't worry. It's midnight in the Phillipines, wait until 10AM when the Internet Cafes start opening their doors.
they have all the reason to pick pacquiao in a fantasy matchup.. look at mexico's very best in that picture courtesy of a pre-prime, prime, 1-D, multi-d, former 106 pounder fighter This content is protected
First of all only an idiot would call Jones a fraud. Jones was past it at 35,Duran was past it at 31,Vargas was past it in his mid 20's diferent fighters that had diferent careers and diferent primes. nobody said that fighters from this era arent brilliant but they're not better than Duran. And Laing was a much better fighter than Jennings btw.
Can you not work out that different fighters are in there primes at different ages, by the time duran lost to laing he had been a pro for 14 years, won his 1st world title 10 years previous, had over 70 fights and was above best weight, he was clearly past his prime, have you even seen the laing fight?
Of course Duran would win, but that's because he was a superior fighter, not for the ******ed reason that Pac's opponents don't fight back. If for some bizarre reason you think Hatton didn't fight back (laughable), then what about Barrera, Morales, and countless others?
Then how come you are allways slagging him down eh? you wise old sage:nut I had you figured 4 a BLUFFER:smoke There was no logic 2 your anti Duran rant's, weird, boxrec clips thrown in ect, nothing concreate, you could be lonely i suppose:huh Going by your track record on this ESB thread i'am more than convinced 2 the fact that you next charade will be 2 attend a boxercise fitness class & then attempt 2 pass yerself off as a ****in fight trainer:nono SHAMELESS/EXPOSED:nut
The ****, he beats the overrated Hatton at 140 and now we can match him up ATG legends? Duran would beat the **** out of him.
if a dude with a sugar ray leonard avatar says it, **** it case closed. duran wins tough fight, long war, etc. to make the pac fans happy. any day, any time, any place, duran wins
