    BS. I think Floyd was older and Pac refused to fight him earlier because he was afraid of "needles", his tattoos were done with "laser"

      Roberto 8-4 manny or stops him if it’s a 15 rounder
      At any weight, Duran ends him.
      Wouldn't go 7

          Roberto at his best? Maybe SRL had off night first fight, and that srl won next two fights gives credence to that theory! And hagler too. But at Duran best, only two fights?
          Greatness is defined by more than 2 good nights

            I say Roberto Duran. He did it the right way. Without cutting corners or taking short cuts.

            Even though it has never been proven or confirmed; The mere shroud of the possibility of PED use by Manny Pacquiao shall sadly forever tarnish his legacy.

            He will never be able to live that one down and neither would Floyd Mayweather, Jr. It’s very sad and unfortunate.

            However, all fighters of this modern era are tainted with that shroud and broad brush of potential PED use.

              Only a completely delusional clown would ever think Pacquiao is greater than Duran. Pacquiao isn’t even close to being an all-time grea, just overhyped by fanboys who don’t know real boxing history.

                I have only one thing against Pac, his refusal to get tested and the lame excuse "I'm afraid of needles", before that I always cheered for him, then I was positive he was using PED'S.

                  chronological age is a less reliable measurement of aging in boxing compared to biological age.

                  Wilfred Benitez was already a shot fighter at age 25 after facing five hall of famers.

                  Floyd is older in a chronological sense but Pacquiao has more wear and tear in his body.

                  Pac also never tested positive in any of his fights including his latest one.

                    then again manny was 40.5 years old when he beat Keith

                    and 46.5 years old when he drew with Mario

                    manny was 36 and had more left in the tank when Floyd 10-2’d him

                      Duran is King, no the Emperor of Boxing. The GOAT
