ESPN Say Pacquiao Is Better Than Duran

[Rip Chudd]

It's ESPN man, they probably just found out who Duran is. Aside from Friday night Fights their coverage on boxing is almost non existant. I take what they say with a grain of salt. They appeal more to the casual fan honestly.

I couldn't get past the first two minutes. There was about 30 seconds of ESPN sound bites, none about Duran, and the rest is some guy spouting typical Pachate that makes the guy sound ******ed.

I cant imagine Hearns knocking Pac out in 2 rounds. Duran did well to beat SRL, but that is only phenomenal if people assume Pac wouldnt beat SRL.

We dont know. You can fantasize how SRL would beat Pac if that rocks your world. But then you have People who think Pac would beat SRL better than Duran did.

I can.

Especially Pacqiuao being past his prime to the same extent as Duran was at that point.

Quite frankly ESPN knows little about boxing as a whole and they always root for and either overrate/underrate athletes depending on their own personal feelings and abilities of those athletes to sell (notice how quickly Hopkins win was disregarded from espn more specifically on pardon the interruption) so I take what they say with a grain of salt.

I still watch friday night fights but ONLY for the fights.

ps. Some on this website can teach ESPN a thing or two.

Why do you have to be like this? The fact that Pac hasnt been knocked out to the chin doesnt that give Pac any kind of credibility and benefit of the doubt? You have to fantasize about how Hearns would do that to Pac and underate Pac? You have to make Pac unlikely to beat SRL like Duran did as well i am imagining. People credit Duran for his wins, so its only fair to discredit him for his losses as well, and dont put those imaginary losses on Pac as well.

Duran was at the peak of his powers. Its amaizing what people can do when they are not at their so called peaks. Look at Morales against Maidana. I think people just went overboard with the Morales was shot to make Pac look bad, and thats what it boils down to at the end of the day. Propaganda.
