      Your fellow Floyd boy Big Dunn has been talking about all of these legit boxing historians who have Floyd waaay ahead of Manny all time.
      Needless to say we are still waiting for him to provide these lists.

        Most CREDIBLE lists have Duran top 10 all time and some have him too 5. I haven't seen a CREDIBLE list that has Manny any higher than 12. The irrational buffoon is YOU!

                Who gives a fck about what people say, if I see the Sun come up with my own eyes a fool telling me it didn't wont get far in making the Sun disappear.

                Seems Manny fans are like schoolgirls, he said she said gossipers lol., grow some balls you girl.

                Manny was an easy beat for Floyd one of the easiest wins in his career, I could believe how useless Manny was he didn't know what to do. Manny needs to stick with fighting broken guys and crash survivors to have a chance of winning stay away from slick movers.

                  Sugar said that BEFORE the out cold knockout loss to Marquez and the lopsided decision loss to Mayweather.

                  The one touching boys is YOU!

                      Stylistically and skill wise they’re both different but they share a similar career path. Pac was a wild, offensive beast in his younger years, like Duran. Both heavily improved on their skills and defense to become more well rounded. Both also moved up many weight classes and fought the very best fighters, took some bad losses along the way to the point that many didn’t think that they had anymore in the tank. Both were also heavily underestimated and still gave scintillating performances against good fighters even while past their prime.

                      Pacquiao, I think, has earned the right to be mentioned in the same breathe as other past ATGs such as Roberto Duran. Probably not as great as Duran but pretty damn close.
                      Pac is greater than Duran.

                      Just in Manny's footwork alone. Shows Pac can do things Roberto Duran can't do.. Not too mention Pac has faster hands.

                      I respect both men, but if you watch both fighters. You can tell Pac is in a different league. Pac's footwork places in positions that even legendary fighters wish they can do.

                      Duran can't close the distance as Pac does. His feet is slow.. Pac's hand and foot speed coordination is what puts him in a different league.
