      Manny was more successful over a longer period of time. Duran's last significant win was at age 37 against Barkley, winning the MW title. Manny at 37 beat Bradley and Vargas. At 39 Matthysse, at 40 Broner and Thurman, at 46 a draw with Barrios. Champion in 8 weight classes vs. 4 for Duran. Duran's single greatest win was a prime Leonard at 147. Manny's single greatest win is arguable...Barrera, Morales, Cotto, Thurman? Leonard is obviously greater than all of them so Duran would have the edge for single greatest win. Manny defeated 22 world champions and 7 HOFers, Duran defeated Manny would have the edge in just about every other aspect.

      Duran best wins:

      Buchanan
      De Jesus x2
      Palomino
      Leonard
      Cuevas
      Moore
      Barkley

      Pacquiao best wins:

      Barrera x2
      Marquez x2
      Morales x2
      Larios
      Hatton
      Cotto
      Clottey
      Margarito
      Bradley x2
      Rios
      Vargas
      Matthysse
      Broner
      Thurman

      Oscar was past prime but was also the favorite to win.

      First draw with Marquez was scored incorrectly and should be a win for Manny. First fight with Bradley a blatant robbery on the scorecard. Horn loss also a robbery.

      Duran claimed to have injured his hand around the 5th round in his fight with Hagler. Could that have made the difference in a very close fight? He was arguably robbed in the first Camacho and Pazienza fights.

      With all of these stats what does that mean? In a head to head fight it's close and competitive. Much lesser fighters than Manny took Duran the distance at LW. Duran had one big win at welter and struggled to make the weight after the Leonard rematch. Too close to call IMO.

        Freddy roach said pac was best he ever trained and he trained them all. That sums it up really. JMM said pac is without doubt the best pf p fighter this era. Duran may have been of his day too

          Floyd knocking on the door right at the 11th slot

                Outside of the best opponents I named for Duran, who else did he beat that was better than Cotto, Margarito, Rios, Vargas, Broner, Larios, Hatton, Clottey??? you dismissed all of them but didn't offer any objective reasoning. It was just conjecture and borderline trolling.

                  If you consider the names you mentioned to be quality (WHEN HE FOUGHT THEM), then there's no logical debate to be had

                    Vargas Horn Lucas Broner was manny’s cherry spree

                    and it worked

                    those two easy years limited the punishment allowing manny to prolong his career

                    ultimately achieving longevity

                      Did floyd request CW with.nelo, as he wanted to prolong his career another 10 years, like pac did with cotto? No, it was more to keep zero, floyd was getting out of sport ASAP
