    Right, right... because it takes a truly monstrous ATG fighter like Kirkland Laing or Robbie Sims to get past the mighty Duran lol..

    h2h Pac makes him quit, and his resume is deeper as well. Duran fought similar competition to Pac's run against the mexican greats, but he lost to all of them except for one fluke win against SRL. His whole ****ing mythology is based on that one win and his truly fantastic macho beard.

    Barkley wasn't the cream of the crop, true. But he was a three-division champion who knocked out Tommy Hearns. He could go into the hall.

    The polling is pretty close with Manny keeping his lead throughout. I thought Duran would start to take over when I first saw this poll last night.

    I think Barkley will get in the Hall of Fame. His fights with Hearns and Duran are legendary, but as far as an ATG he is not an ATG fighter. I do not think. HOF sure.

    Roberto Duran beat one all-time great in his prime and that was Sugar Ray Leonard. Should probably go down in history as the single greatest victory in Boxing history, arguably.

    Manny Pacquiao beat one all-time great in his prime and that was Marco Antonio Barrera. Should probably go down as one of if not the greatest victory of the last decade, arguably.

    Clearly there's a misconception regarding the greatness of Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, and Ricky Hatton.

    As far as resume goes Pac makes his case, but your H2h comparison is silly. Duran fought so many fights he looked beatable at times because instead of sparring he just boxed, if you use your brain you'd see that PRIME for PRIME Duran is Better
