Roberto Durán: Sergio Martinez wouldn't have a chance in my era

[-Lowkey-]

You are crazy out of your mind, Martinez would have ko'd MW Duran in less than 4 rounds.

Duran was a legend and ATG, but lets not get crazy here.

Martinez could do to Duran in 4 what Hagler couldn't do in 15?

Who's really the crazy one.

Martinez is going to be saying this about whoever's around twenty years from now too. It's part of the perks of hanging around that long. You get to say this crap to any journalist who will listen lol.

Way to much disrespect in this thread for a top 5 ATG like Duran. The level of ******ity on NSB never fails to amuse me.

Not so funny when he's bashing a fighter not named Floyd, huh?

[mezoomozaa]

Martinez doesn't have fraction of a chance against Hagler or Mugabi , and I am fan of Martinez and rank him higher than Mayweather or Pacquiao P4P today .

but Martinez still beats Mayweather

[kiDynamite92]

Duran to be honest YOU didnt have a chance in your own era,
you Quit against Leonard
You got put to sleep by Hearns
you lost to Hagler
you lost to Benitez

and i guess a fighter like Robbie Sims would be an ATG kiler in this era since he beat you

get the fcuk outte here here!

-He beat Leonard once
-Was past his prime against Hearns
-Lost a competitive fight against quite possibly the greatest middle weight of all time!

one thing you can say about Duran, he fought the best. can you say the same about Floyd?

He IS NOT top 5 ATG

KO'd in less than 4? You clearly have no idea who Duran is

Sergio has never stopped a MW in anywhere near 4 yet he would KO duran when guys like prime hagler and Barkley couldn't come close?

[New England]

a motivated duran would knock martinez out. hearns knocks him out. leonard knocks him out. benitez would almost surely beat him. hagler really knocks him out.

that said, i think martinez was good enough at 154 to at least be a contender in most, if not any era. he was a freak athlete in his prime, and a southpaw.

[BigZigga]

1) Martinez is not a legit middleweight. The fact he still beats fighters who are naturally much bigger is impressive.

2) Comparing eras is just ****** imo. There is absolutely no way to know which era is the best.
