PACMAN: The poor man's Duran

[Manny_P]

Duran LOST to the best of his era. Although he has a W on Leonard.

Manny won AGAINST the best of his era.

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.

It's not an honor to be compared to Duran. I don't hate Duran and I consider him HOF but PAC has already is beyond Duran and in a few years, provided he continues to win, will become an all time great.

Duran is a quitter. And DUran lost to slick boxers. He had no footwork, he was quite cumbersome, of course he had KO power, but he doesn't possess the jab and boxing skills to compliment that. That's why he lost to the elites of his era.

I'm supposed some will write that Pacquiao would take Durán, who might be the greatest inside fighter ever, at 135, right? That would be something.

I like Pacquiao. The guy is humble and entertaining, but some of his fans type without thinking.

O.K...

So Manny Pacquiao is now one of the 10 best fighters in the history of the sport ?

I'm glad you Pinoys see things so objectively. You've all been following the sport for three-four years now......& know the sport's history inside & out.

The point is, PAC on the basis of skills and results has achieved more already than Duran ever did.

PAC is just 27 and who knows of the possibilities. Duran was shot long time ago and against the elites, he lost.

Say what you will to make Pacquiao seem like an invincible god. The fact is that he is 2-1-1 against the elites. Take that into consideration before trying to make him look like the greatest guy to put on a pair of gloves.

Once again, I will say that I like Pacquiao. I record his fights and enjoy watching him in action, but he is no unbeatable legend.

Duran is one of my favorites fighters of all time along side SRL, Hearns and Hagler.

I am sure PAC will be honored and knows that the road to greatness is still long and hard ..

He is 2-1-1

And he's not even halfway.

Duran lost to all the elites and he quit.
