Roberto Duran calls today's fighters mediocre at best!

Of course, he's obviously and absolutaly right imo.

 

For the most part he's right.

 

Gotta respect Hands of Stone.

 

every fighter thinks that the era in wich he fights is the best,when Duran was in his prime its probably that an older past lightweight fighter said the same thing about him.

that being said Duran is probably correct on this ocasion.

 

I see why he feels that way he fought in probably the best era in boxing

 

Pac has fought 53 times by age 30 and is still going strong.

 

Manos De Piedra speaks the truth.

I'd say there are a handful of guys that could have fought in any era and I think Floyd and Manny fit into that category.

 

Of course had Pacquiao been campaigning with the likes of Sanchez, Gomez, Zarate, and Duran. :!:

 

That could be said about every sport :good

 

Certainly the HW division is mediocre. Scratch that. The HW division is contemptible.

 

Duran fought in a great era, and dominated. 70's and 80's undoubtedly the best era of boxing at lightweight, welterweight, middleweight and heavyweight for me. Of today's fighters only PBF, Pac and Marquez would be up there.

 

Hopkins would have operated during any era and would have had a fair share of success.

 

he's right, today is always about money.
