Max for the most part is right. Hesrns destroyed Duran but Duran is still considered greater since he was much smaller. He also lost a decision to Wilfredo but no one considers Wilfredo better than Duran.

I don't agree with him that Pacquiao is better than Mayweather (though he is undoubtedly the more exciting fighter), but the logic of how you can lose to someone and still be a better overall fighter than them isn't at all implausible. There's plenty of examples you can pull out to support that.

Plus his argument doesn't make sense. Mayweather didn't beat Pacquiao based on size or power, he beat him with skill, which is the essence of pound for pound. Pacquiao pulverized Cotto at 145 lbs. and Margarito at 150 lbs. He put beatings on guys that are bigger and stronger than Floyd.

My only problem with his opinion is he works for Pacquiao's bosses. If Max does NOT work for HBO then it wouldn't be such a big deal. If Pac had beaten Mayweather and a showtime commentator made a comment like that he too would be criticise for those comments too.
