The courage of Roberto Duran

[klipsch speaker]

I was watching his career set just a while ago and noticed a stretch in his career when he went against Pipino Cuevas, Davey Moore, Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns in succession!!!!
...and it ****ing happened when he was already way past his prime!
...and was the significantly smaller man!!!
.....whew... Its like JMM going up against Cotto, Kirkland, Abraham and Paul Williams!!!
Damn!!!

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.

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.
