No fighter in the history of boxing has faced as good of competition as Oscar.

Name him again. I'm not going back through this thread to find out, just want to know who you think faced better comp.

obviously that's a partial list of duran's resume.

marvin hagler , thomas hearns , hector camacho , esteban dejesus , ken buchanan , carlos palomino , ray leonard , wilfred benitez , pipino cuevas , davey moore , iran barkley , vinny pazienza......

it's hard to do partial lists because you don't want to add someone on one side that is on the level of someone you left out on the other side and vice versa.

i know delahoya has a great resume but he has the advantage that all his opponents are relatively fresh in the memory and fought recently enough that most people here know/remember them.

That's a good comparison. I think Oscars top 6 or 7 opponents had bigger names (compared to about 4 for Duran) but some were old.

What fighter has faced the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley twice, Fernando Vargas, Arturo Gatti, Felix Trinidad, Ike Quartey, Hecter Camacho, Pernell Whitaker, and Genaro Hendez.

This competition is the best I have ever seen then.

I gotta agree. These names are just too powerful. Find me a guy who's faced more and better? There's alot of guys who fought 300, where 290 were bad opponents.

[Gorilla Dogs]

i agree with that 100 percent.

i picked duran because they fought in almost the same divisions.

i don't agree with that.

they're bigger names because we remember them more since they're more recent.

benitez for example. most guys wouldn't consider a big name now but the guy was a champion at 17.

he was all that and a bag of chips in his day.

I'll admit I don't know some of those guys as well as others might but its hard to imagine they were up there with guys like Chavez, Whitaker, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Hopkins, and Trinidad.
