You really do have no idea about boxing or fighetrs of the past.
Duran stopped a prime Esteban De Jesus twice, De Jesus was better than Morales or Barrera by a mile. He beat Ken Buchanan, another outstanding fighter in his day.
Duran is the ONLY MAN to beat an "IN HIS PRIME" Sugar Ray Leonard. When he met Leonard, he only lost once in 71 fights! Did you forget about the first fight? Leonard, who was ten times the fighter Mayweather is today.
He ruled the lightweight division for almost a decade. Also top notch wins over Pipino Cuevas and Davey Moore. Two men that could have been champions in any era.
Did you even watch the Hagler fight?? It was a damn close fight. Duran, a "lightweight" great, fought what many regard as the "second of third best middleweight in boxing history" to a near draw. Let's see Pacquiao move to 160 and fight Jermain Taylor to a near draw.
Dishing out an all-out history lesson here.Comment

Exactly...I love Pac, but he can never reach the level or Duran. Unless he beat Valero, Holt, Cotto, and then PAv, he would have a chance lol.Comment
