Pacquiao has a better resume than Duran!

So Barrera, Morales, Marquez, 6 wins, all don't add up to a single win over SRL...?
You must not understand how resumes work.

Respectfully, Morales had gotten destroyed by Zahir Raheem before Manny beat him. Before he fought Raheem, Morales was 48-2 including a win over Manny. Raheem and after 4-7.
Erik was never the same guy after the Raheem fight. It;s not fair to equate that win with Barrera beating Morales.Comment

Then Manny destroyed Raheem....oh wait...he didn't even fight him.Respectfully, Morales had gotten destroyed by Zahir Raheem before Manny beat him. Before he fought Raheem, Morales was 48-2 including a win over Manny. Raheem and after 4-7.

Destroyed is an over statement. it was a 116-112 fight or 117-11. Morales admitted that Lightweight isn't his division and that he took Raheem lightly.Respectfully, Morales had gotten destroyed by Zahir Raheem before Manny beat him.

No, destroyed is an understatement. The final scores were 118–110, 116–112 and 115–112 in favor of Raheem and this was when Morales was the house fighter. Had Raheem had any power he may have killed Morales.
Morales was having difficulty making 130 so he fought Morales at 135. Yes, he did drop down back to 130 for that fight. So Manny beat a dude that just got destroyed at 135 then went back down to 130.
It's simply unfair to suggest Morales was the same EL Terible that Barrera defeated or that beat Manny.Comment

Damn Duran literally beat Jesus...twiceContinuing on from the SRL-Money thread...
I want to point out that Manny has a better overall body of work compared to Duran's. Far better, actually.
Looking at Duran's signature wins, he has:
Jesus x2
Buchanan
SRL
Barkley
Palomino
Cuevas
Pacquiao, by comparison, has:
Barrera x2
Marquez x2
Morales x2
Bradley x2
Margarito
ODLH
Cotto
Hatton
Ledwaba
Not to mention a hell of a lot more quantitative quality, including being an 8-division champ as well as P4P in his late 30's.
Duran has the greater win over SRL, no comparison, but this is the same argument with Leonard-Floyd. Quality, at some point, doesn't beat the amount of quantity+quality that Floyd or Manny have.
Not to mention the losses that Duran also has in numbers...
Could you say that he was a better fighter than Manny? Arguably, sure, but you can't debate that his resume is inferior...Comment
,was sitting on his ass in mexico healing from the whipping Shane Mosely gave him.
