PACMAN: The poor man's Duran

[JoartCC]

This post exemplifies the lack of knowledge that you hold about boxing. WEIGHT DOES MATTER, IF PAC WAS FIGHTING AT 147 AND LOST WOULD YOU SAY THAT HE IS SOMEONE WHO LOST TO HIS NEMESIS' AND WAS A QUITTER????


Here are the some of the highlights of Durans Career-
WBA Lightweight Champion 1972-78
World Lightweight Champion (WBA & WBC) 1978-79
WBC Welterweight Champion 1980
WBA Junior Middleweight Champion 1983-84
WBC Middleweight Champion 1989-90

The bottomline macho is that Duran lost to the elites of his era. Forget the belts, forget the weight jumps, bottomline is... he lost and he lost bad.

IMHO its an honor for PAC to be called as a "POOR MANS DURAN" the GREATEST LATINO FIGHTER ... PAC is not DURAN yet and may never be,

the only similarities that i can think of right now are they have both:

-jump up from several weight class and still knockouts their opponents
-celebrated TRIO of nemesis (i.e for duran, hearns, SRL & hagler for PAC MAB, EM and JMM)

now come to think of it ... PAC, EM, MAB and JMM can be called the "poor mans Duran, hearns, SRL & Hagler"

So i guess Gatti is a quitter-sat on his stool against mayweather, KT sat on his stool and quit against Hatton.

You don't know boxing, you have never boxed, bc if you did you would further understand WEIGHT. Hagler and Hearns were much bigger men!

Arguing with infantile artificial boxing fans like you is a waste of time.

THEE best LIGHTWEIGHT EVER= Roberto Duran

Gatti is a shoo-in for the hall of fame not because he beat elites but because he's an exciting fighter which made the game look better.

Also, gatti won't be much of an HOF.

this thread and these ****** nutguzzling pac fans have forced a bowel movement, i'm gonna go take the browns to the superbowl.

pac on durans level ... gawd ... tomorrow it'll be "if he can beat one more mexican, hes bigger than ali"

and they'll make their unsubstantiated ****** ****ken case ... mere nutguzzling opinion.

And how is that?

PAC is bigger and has accomplished more and has improved more already at 27 than anywhere in Duran's peak.

I will just have to reiterate my arguments again.

He lost to all elites in his era.

PAC has demolished elites in his era.

Are you here simply to push buttons?

Duran BEAT Leonard

Duran lost a CLOSE decision to a TOP 3 middleweight all-time. You aren't implying that there is any shame in that...especially considering Duran started at 118 are you?

Duran was caught by maybe the most lethal single punch EVER as he was coming off the ropes. No shame in being dispatched by Tommy Hearns.

Simply to push buttons? Is that how you react to a solid argument? By refuting with a personal attack? By heavens! Is this the trend here?

Personal attacks on solid arguments instead of trying to refute it.

only bad loss of Duran was the infamous "no mas" and his only KO loss to hearns, but credit should be given that he is the first and only one to beat a PRIME SUGAR RAY LEONARD...

And is dodging points how you respond to a solid argument? It appears so.

Actually, if you try to read the post a few pages back. You will see that it is them trying to dodge the points. I advise you to read back again and since I set the pace of the argument, I get to try to ask them a simple yes or no question.

And yet they can't answer with a simple yes or no. And instead of answering a mere yes or no, they conjure up weird arguments which mostly holds little or no basis.

Worse, if they see that they're cornered, they resort to name-calling, rascist remarks and insults. Is this the trend here?

Props to you. You are one of the few Pacquiao fans who think before they type. The rest are just typing the same rubbish over and over again. How foolish can a poster be?

Good stuff, Jom. I'm sure that if Pacquiao was a poster here, he would say that he is honored by the comparison to Duran, but I guess he would admit that he has to work harder to get there.
