    The latter could be an example of Moore genuinely not feeling that Charles was one of his best opponents due to how difficult he was for Moore (Even though Charles always won). If Moore said that in this context, I don't think it's too bad. From a fan's perspective you always speculate about possible ill feelings because we all rave about Charles. May not be the case, though.

    I'm not knocking Paq who I both like and respect but let's get real ... if Duran trained with the intensity that he did for Leonard 1 and was on the cocktail Paq is likely on I think he would have beaten every champion in June 1980 other than Larry Holmes ... he would have gone through Hagler, Saad Muhammad, Conteh, Galinedez, all of them ...

    a more reasonable question would be... is Pacquiao even the greatest fighter of the last 10 yrs ?.... he`s certainly not the BEST fighter in the last 10 yrs, anyone with eyes & a brain knows Mayweather is a superior fighter (remember I said this for the schoolage ahead next yr hopefully) but to say Pacquiao is better than Roberto Duran in any shape or form, p4p, h2h, ability, skills, is just down right ****.
    What a fkn moron steward is.

    Pacman is the fighter of the decade, Floyd is not, deal with it.

    Who did you pick? I cannot remember.

    Pacman vs Hatton?
    Pacman vs Cotto?
    Floyd vs SSM?
    Did you think that JMM would have a chance vs Floyd by jumping up two divions to meet him?
