Duran mocking of Pacquiao

[puga]

" Roberto says that video where ESPN put pacquiao wins over Roberto Duran is a complete nonsense/****** thing .... because pacquiao - says Roberto - do not have the strength nor the punch to hold the punch of Roberto.... Roberto says that hopefully will given him the opportunity to fight, so old as he is, with pacquiao, to show that even old as he is now, pacquiao couldnīt beat him, jajajaja.... Roberto says, Manny is strength, I,m strength too; he has punch, I have more punch than him...."

LOL...thats just durans ego talking there.....as old as he is, he thinkks he beats pacqauio?......sure roberto!

Iron Dan is a great poster and is unbiased in his posts.

that's what you think. every human has biases. to claim otherwise is a falsehood.

I know for a fact he is a huge floyd fan. Ive read his posts claiming such.

yeah he is totally biased,especially towards african american fighters.i mean who doesn't have duran in their top 5

dude stop ****ing fronting & trying to con people with your boxing knowledge so that makes you some ultimate "neutral" observer of the sport. I know for a fact you are a huge floyd fan & i have seen your posts secretly slagging pac in subtle ways.

stop frontin son.

I'm not a neutral fan. Where do I even claim this?

I'm not biased when ranking a fighter, though.

I mean, everyone knows I hate Carl Froch and Joe Calzaghe.

Everyone in the History Section knows I hate Muhammad Ali and are biased toward Alexis Arguello and Carlos Monzon.

I'm fond of Mayweather and would agree I am a huge fan of him and is my favourite active fighter and not personally a fan of Pacquaio. But, what I don't do, is hate Manny Pacqiauo nor love Floyd Mayweather. I mean, if I did, I would happily admit it.

Why do I always here that? That I 'bash Pac in subtle ways', I don't get it.

Is it because I say he is bigger now than he was in 2006? Or is it because I personally believe he isn't a Top 30 ATG? Are those subtle insults or something? Please, someone, enlighten me.

Why is Duran even hating on Pac when it was ESPN who said that stuff? Hell, even Roach puts Duran over Pac and Pac is his boy.

[EMACULATE]

Duran would have put a beating on Pac at any weight. He had great defence was a great inside fighter, had speed power a granite chin he could counterpunch was willing to fight anyone, they don’t breed boxers like Roberto Duran anymore.

Duran got baffled by speed from Leonard. What in the world would he do against speed and angles that Manny would hit him with? Now could manny handle the heavy hands of Duran and could Duran connect as everyone else does against Manny. If I was a betting man I would probably pick PAC because of speed. If there is no catch weights and the fight happens at 147 I think Duran will atleast be in the fight but probably end up looking like MARGARITO AFTER BEING PEPPERED WITH FAST AND QUICK SHOTS will start to swelling up and eyes close. Just an opinion.

Putting duran in the same sentence as pac is disrespectful to the sport of boxing

blame duran.....he is the one talking about himself and pacquaio...

[jrosales13]

Duran is greater than Pac and is not even close.

That's not hating nor is it an insult.

Duran is a better fighter as well.

Also even in fantasy, where Pac would have lost to Ledwaba, Barrera, Oscar, etc etc...People need to understand that neither one of them are Duran. They not even in the same atmosphere as Duran.

So it's quite different saying that Pac would lose a fantasy fight to Duran than it is saying he would lose a fantasy fight to Ledwaba, Barrera, Oscar.

And, to be fair. I thought both Ledwaba and Barrera would beat Pac. I predicted Pac to stop Oscar(maybe cuz' of my bias IDK but it was my prediction) I predicted Pac to easily stop Hatton(on cuts not 1 punch KO in 2 rounds), I thought the Cotto was going to be evenly matched but predicted and bet on Pac to win. I thought Pac would beat Clottey. And, that he would easily beat Marg and Mosley.

But, neither one of those guys are on Duran level.

Saying Duran would beat him and that he's significantly greater than Pacquiao. Is not an insult or hating. No reason to take it that way at all.

Duran was a true beast, something very very special. Really a once in a lifetime type of fighter.
