Who beats Roberto Duran ...

Blind love for modern fighters like who? Chavez who fought at basically the same time as Pernell Whitaker lol.

I don't rate or compare fighters from pre 1970 the sport has changed too much.

You said "Modern fighters as in post 1970." in a previous thread. So Chavez and Whitaker would be classed as modern to you.

Yes and I dislike Pernell Whitaker very much so how is that a blind love?

So you let time period and personal bias get in the way?

Not good.

You're right, 17 weight classes and 68 titles (not including super champions, interim champions, regular champions, diamond belt champions, champion emeritus, etc., etc., etc.) have made boxing soo much better since then.

Get in the way of what?

I told you already I don't rate or compare guys pre 1970 if you want to that is your prerogative I would rather stick to ranking guys I have seen fight more 3 or 4 times in ****ty quality youtube videos.

Also there is a difference between dislike and bias

When did I say the sport was better?

And at other times he's described "modern fighters" as post 1990, and at other times post 2000.....whatever happens to be convenient for him in a given thread :rofl9:

There's a lot of great pre 1970 footage.

Ali vs Cleveland Williams for example.

I would favor no one over Duran at lightweight but Pacquiao and Chavez are 50/50 fights

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
