Roberto Duran vs Mayweather

How does anyone even respond to this? Slow podder who threw wide haymakers, is this what you, Pimp C, Sweet Jones and others actually believe?

If so, I'm clearly wasting my time.

 

You're wasting your time

 

It would never have happened.

Duran's head got bigger.

 

I've made no such claim. So please do not associate my name with a statement like that.

Having said that, when I read something like this:

Seems like this 'discussion' isn't being held in good faith.

You allow yourself to include some phantom 'cowardice' from Mayweather and his reaction to getting hit mutliple times in your analysis, yet brush off anyone who mentions anything about Duran (documented quitter when frustrated, flustered by movement and speed, known to enter ring in let than premium condition, etc. ) not specifically related to the Montreal performance YOU believe he had.

Yeah, might be a waste of time.

 

I'm not saying PBF is a better boxer than SRL however he's better than Benitez that's for sure. I'm saying both of them outboxed Duran and PBF has the ability to do the same. PBF encompasses both with the boxing ability of SRL with the defense of Benitez. Duran gets overrated all the time he went 1-5 against SRL, Hearns, Hagler and Bentinez. People love him because of his personality machismo and fighting style the truth is he's overrated because he's considered the best Latino fighter of all time so that puts him above people that he doesn't deserve to be put in front of.:deal

 

Never said he was a plodder I said that he was a bad match up for Duran and PBF's reach defense movement and speed would have given him fits.:deal

 

:deal

 

Agenda is revealed.

:think

 

I can't even believe what I'm reading in here. SMH.

 

Truth revealed.

 

You mean you don't believe Duran's unanimous praise as an all time great is nothing more than some sort of misguided reverse affirmative action? I don't believe it either.

:nut

 

No, I clearly wrote "agenda" Are you wearing your glasses? I hear they have good vision plans on that job you got gifted over more deserving workers that just weren't in the right demographic.

 

Duran is one of the most overrated boxers in history and has almost more excuses than he has wins. He's a ATG yes but not top 5 no way. You can't go 1-5 against SRL, Hagler Hearns and Benitez and be top 5 of anything.:deal

 

I wouldn't put him in my top 5 but I can see a case for it. Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore couldn't beat Rocky Marciano but deserve to be rated above him P4P without question. Sugar Ray Robinson should be ranked above Joey Maxim. Bury your racial conspiracy agenda, grow a brain, and think about it.

 

I speak the truth Moore and Charles are far greater than Marciano horrible comparison, not even worthy of debate of course they were greater fighters than him. Duran lost to guys especially SRL who have a legit case of being greater than him. Duran went 1-5 against SRL, Hearns, Hagler and Benitez he also lost to DeJesus at a weight his fans say he was unbeatable at. This has nothing to do with racial bias it has to do with exposing an overrated fighter who gets a pass because he's well liked. I can see the same thing years down the road happening to Erik Morales because he's well liked.
