The courage of Roberto Duran

That's why I have tremendous respect for Pacquiao -- I see shades Duran in him. Duran is more than likely my most respected fighter of all time. duran fought tommy hearns, a stylistic nightmare for him. who was in his prime. and any other fighter regardless of style, age etc. pac carefully chooses the guys he moves up to fight, usually washed up guys and always tailor made for him stylisticly. by todays measures pac is a great fighter, but to say u see shades of duran in him is disrespectful to the sport.

That's why I have tremendous respect for Pacquiao -- I see shades Duran in him. Duran is more than likely my most respected fighter of all time. But Manny is still in his prime. Duran was not.
