        To be honest Roberto Duran is indeed overrated old fighter like many old fighters. Even boxers like Kirkland Laing, Wilfredo Benitez easily beat him, not to mention that Hearns KTFO him in two rounds. Floyd and Pacquiao has better resume than Duran by far. Duran had a great run an LW, but 99% of his opponents were cab drivers, he beat only 2 champions at LW and ironically one of them had beaten him before.

              Legacy is not all about belts.

                    I can assure you that Pacquiao beat much more HOFers and champions. You might say that Duran beat Leonard that's why his resume is better, but one name doesn't make any resume and he lost to the same Leonard next fight.

                    Ken Norton and Joe Frazier beat Muhammad Ali. Does it make their resume better than Muhammad Ali's resume? Because they have Ali's name, But Ali himself has only Fraziers and Foremans in his resume.

                      Duran cleaned out lightweight for an entire decade, took Leonard's 0, beat Iran Barkley, Davey Moore, hung in their with Hagler as a fat welterweight...

                      Pacquiao's great but come on. Duran's a top 5 p4p all timer. Pacquiao's top 30-15.

                      Duran has some ugly losses on there but you have to remember that those were way past his prime. He was 83-1 after he beat Leonard. And past his prime, he still had some amazing moments.
