Pac s greatest fighter alive

Duran may genuinely hurt Pacquiao if they ever fought. Durans win against Leonard alone trumps Pacquiaos entire career.

I agree Duran was better than Pac, but keep in mind Duran basically stopped being a great fighter by his mid 30s; his only meaningful win after the age of 33 was Barkley. Conversely, look what Pac has done over the last decade: multiple wins over Bradley, wins against Thurman, Broner, Vargas, etc.

Now I don't think that makes him better, but to some greatness can be measured by accumulating achievements over a long period of time. And Pacs success as an older fighter is indicative of such. Its an apples to oranges argument until someone articulates the definition being used here for greatness.

Career achievements, probably. But for current best, nah. He's way past his prime.

Eh, naw. I'm not going to give credit for someone taking advantage of modern PEDS extending careers

Yes, I believe that Roberto Duran is the greatest living fighter.
