Duran came up from 135 and beat SRL, who was undefeated and the best in the world in a 15 rd fight.
SRL beat Hearns when he was undefeated and was a legitimate, dominant champion.
I think if Manny wins against Spence, given he is post the car accident, would make this a bit below those wins.
You’re a pole smoker who has no credibility or integrity. You’re not objective. You’re mad because I posted that if Manny wins imo it would be the 3rd best ww in 40 years. Really?
Fuck off with this obsessive level of **** slurping.
Duran had EIGHT, EIGHT fights at welterweight before he faced Leonard.
He didn't move up to fight Leonard, he was already a full fledged welter.Spoon23 SteelFist01 like this.

Duran beating SRL was both special and great. Manny beating Spence would be same but not better for me given the context of each fight.
Can't accept Manny a HOF have to force everyone into feeling he top 3 of all time.
Can't accept Thurman was a good win, want you to forget the details of the second half of the fight.
But want to turn around and be extra critical towards other fighters ....... except guys Manny beat....figures

Regardless of the legitimacy of the fight (PAC’s age), if Spence wins, he may transcend the boxing public’s recognition of him to a degree. Perhaps it sets up a great and big scrap in the near future

Can we be honest in assessing Spence? His best victories are Porter, Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, and Brook. Porter loses all of his big fights. Danny Garcia never had a good win at 147. Mikey Garcia never had a good win at 147. Brook's best win at 147 is Porter. Would it be a huge victory for Pac? Yes, because of his age. Not because Spence is a hall of fame talent. The fact that Spence had a hard time with Porter is telling. Spence is currently the top of the PBC round robin at 147. That's it.SteelFist01 likes this.

Since we are being “honest”, let’s go the extra mile in honesty, shall we?
Spence is 31 years old. He traveled to England to win his first belt. Let’s be clear about that. He has another 5 years to build on his legacy.
Do you know who Manny fought starting at 32 years old?
Brandon Rios, Broner, Vargas, Mathysse, Etc … were these guys better than Porter or Danny Garcia?
