Pacquiao has now eclipsed Duran in terms of legacy

Pac's ATG status can not be denied and doesn't take a back seat to Duran or anybody else. The fact that he has accomplished something that no other in history has speaks to place among the top.

 

You must not know Duran's legacy then

 

he would have eclipsed him if he had beaten Mayweather that was his Leonard but he failed

 

it amazes me how people just cant grasp the concept that pac and floyd are not the same size, that a match between them could never be equal in credit deserved for winning, and deserved for losing. floyd, by all rights, should always be able to beat pac, pac shouldnt even be able to compete with floyd. why is it so hard to understand that, or come to grips with it?

 

same can be said for Leonard and Duran

 

Why? They’re welterweights. Mayweather was very close in size as a teen to Pacquiao when Pac won his first belt.

 

it is, thats why its one of the greatest victories in boxing history, because duran is naturally smaller, beating one of the best ever.

 

Thurman’s rust wore off after the 6th round

 

What the same way Duran and Leonard weren't the same size?

 

thank you for proving my point. i explained exactly what i meant, even using duran and leonard as part of the explanation, and sure enough, heres one still confused.

 

I used Duran and Leonard to prove the point Duran > Pacquiao
And while it's on the table Leonard > Mayweather

 

wtf does that have to do with the points im making? do you even understand what im talking about?

 

Yes, you tried to defend Pacquiao (in a thread about why he's better than Duran) by saying he should never have even been competitive with Mayweather (when the comparison of Leonard and Mayweather was brought up by Ph33). Your point is pathetic in this thread as

1. Duran beat Leonard, who's better than Mayweather.
2. Mayweather and Pacquiao are much closer in size naturally than Duran and Leonard are.

 

and how does this change the fact that pac is smaller than floyd, regardless of how little difference YOU personally believe there is? floyd doesnt get big credit for beating a redheaded kid, its because it was a big redheaded kid.

 

It doesn't... It just shows that Duran > Pacquiao (which is the point of the thread)

This has literally nothing to do with anything. Please don't say Canelo is greater than Duran
