Nah, he was losing to Carlos ****ing Baldomir instead!! atsch Worst Comment Of The Century. You ought to be ****ing ashamed of yourself. nono:nono
Most lists ive seen has Duran top 10-15. Funny that, after your speech about having 5 ATG wins before entering top 10, I only see 1 ATG on that top 5. Infact, outside of SRL, JMM/MAB/Morales/DLH/Cotto are all more accomplished that 2-5.
If you are looking for negatives though, you can surely do that with anyone. Ali: -Liston was past it and took a dive in the second. -Foreman was 1 dimensional slugger who gassed himself out. -Frazier in the 2nd & 3rd fight was shot and has already been anihilated by Foreman. -Arguably lost to Norton 2-3 times. -Patterson was too small, past it and destroyed by Liston. -Archie Moore came in undersized with a walking stick. Ali is top 5.
I think Cotto and Oscar are a bit too high on the list I think his lighter weight fights are better Also for Clottey mailing it in like that I wouldnt put that on the list or atleast as high as you did
I dont think either pac or May crack the top ten or even 20 but in reality its hardley their faults. Name the fighter they could have fought and won which would have stood them in that category. The fact that between them they have beaten:- Cotto, Margaritto, Mosley, De La Hoya x2, Hatton x2, Gatti, Corrales, Castillo x2, Barrera x2, Morales x2, Marquez x2 and Judah just goes to show that they have beaten the best of their eras respectively and theres only each other they can really add other than Williams/Martinez. I think youve got to give credit where credits due and just praise the fact that both boxers are probably on the verge of getting as high as you can in the atg list from modern era fighters
If we left out the oldtimers and say best fighters of the 70-now, I have pacquiao in my top 5 then, that he is on of the topfighters from that time until now says alot about hwo great he is. I also believe Sasakul is a very underrrated win for pacquiao.
How did Duran do against the ATGs he faced? Why does he get a pass having losses to Leonard x2, Hearns, Hagler, Benitez..while Pac gets no credit with a 6-1-1(4 KO) record against the greatest fighters he fought (MAB, Morales, JMM, DLH)?
Based solely on which fights had the most impact for me, personally, as a fan, and gave me the most joy. Fights that made me have the most vocal reactions while watching the fight. 10.
