I think any real boxing fan or boxer (not you) knows that if 130 is your natural weight, it is very difficult to hold the punches of someone who is naturally 30 pounds heavier than you(in durans case- Hearns, Hagler, Benitez).
Don't flame someone who knows about Duran's career. A true boxing fan.
Owned beeatch!
PAC started at 108 and has jumped at least 5-6 weight divisions already.
Roberto Duran is a proven all-time great who captured belts in 4 weight divisions(135, 147, 154, and 160). The man faced the best boxers of his era and beat most of them. Can you find a natural lightweight who went up to middleweight and won a championship in a legitimate way? There is not another one. Pacquiao has a long way to go before he can be mentioned along Roberto.
Can you find a 108 lb'er and pummel HOF elites like Morales, JMM and MAB like PAC ever did? I have yet to see a 108 lb'er do that to Mexican greats.
The bottomline.
Duran is a loser and a quitter. He lost to all the elites of his era.
PAC is demolishing the elites of his era in ways which are unheard of before.
Seran loco comparando Manos de piedra con Pac? Ya yo trate de explicar que Duran perdio contra los "elitos" pero los "elitos" de un peso mucho mas grande que el peso natural de el. Parece que no entienden que aumentando peso en el boxeo es dificil.
inicie un foro precisamente hablando de peso. Buscalo, se llama "what do you respect more?"
Hijo de puta ignoramus.
What's the point of speaking spanish in an english thread?
Am I wrong in pointing out that Duran is the biggest loser out of the 4 elites in his era?
Am I wrong to point out that Duran is a lame quitter when he gets frustrated?
I don't think I'm wrong.
Duran is a 4-division champion who beat Esteban de Jesús, Ray Leonard, Pipino Cuevas, Davey Moore, and Iran Barkley, to name a few. The guy started as a bantamweight and ended up winning a belt at 160. One more thing; he boxed for 33 years. I doubt that any current boxer will box 20. Roberto was a true warrior.

Why are you evading my questions? All you have to do is answer a simply yes or a no?
Your new argument weighs little also. PAC started at 108 and pummels HOF elites like no 108 ever did. From 108 to 130, I think it's a good 6-7 weight classes already.
It's not about the number of belts you had. There's too many belts out there for sale, with enough money and right connections one can get one.
The bottomline is that he lost to his nemesis elites.
He quit.
Is there a harsher reality than that?
I'm not saying that Duran aint a warrior. I'm saying that comparing PAC with Duran as a poor man's DUran is quite ******. PAC has already accomplished more at the age of 27 than Duran ever did. Forget the belts, PAC doesn't go for those ****** belts anyway. He has pummeled elites in his era which Duran never did. PAC has re-created his skills and has adjusted to different styles. Duran on the other hand, got humiliated from slick boxers.
And what I find quite unnerving, is that Duran is a quitter.

Duran boxed for 20yrs. 'cause he was a broke @ss b*tch! Pac is a big-time endorser, hell a few of the CEO's of the corporations he endorses have even suggested he hang it up, no need to continue. Same thing with Kareem Abdul Jabbar he played for 20yrs. as well, 'cause he needed money bad. Alot of these professional athletes who hang around is because they have to not 'cause they want to, of course there are a few exceptions but the majority were or are bankrupt!
