Who ranks Duran higher than SRL?
I would say the general consensus is that Duran is the highest p4p of all time of the 4 kings. He’s a top 5 ATG for many
Weight matters, and what he was able to do at higher weights was legendary.
It’s also why Pacman in my eyes is #1 ATG. The man has had 4 separate Halll. Of Fame runs and 4 separate all time great runs now. Manny’s resume at 130 alone made him an ATG. Then came the rundown between 147-154, then he got knocked out. How you bounce back from a loss has a lot to do with how u are rated as a champion - he took a devastating ko, got another win streak and had some losses that shouldn’t be losses, and lost to the p4p#1 at the time Floyd mayweather for many reasons but one of them being that Floyd was simply too long/tall for him and Floyd is the type of fighter to use that to his advantage1000%.
Even after that, when we thought he was finished, he had another WW run where he has knocked down damn near every fighter he’s fought as old man pacquiao, and just defeated the welterweight to beat in the division. Fuck what y’all say but Keith Thurman was that guy until someone beat him. He unified and had the best wins.
Now Manny Pacquiao is that guy, which is insane at his age.
P4P #1 GOAT
Doubt we ever see this happen again. So embrace the fact that we witnessed this legendary career while it’s still happening.
Also, Floyd is my friend and legitimately my idol in boxing, but manny will beat him if he comes back to fight him without any tune ups. I am very sure of that, many has been active , floyd forgets how hard it was to make that fight easy (he was sharper than he’s ever been and still got hurt twice in the fight), and probably just remembers how easy it was. Floyd had everything to prove in that one and trained that way. If he comes back - he won’t have that same fire. And manny will add the 50-0 TBE to his resume as well.
I just bow down to greatness when I see it lol. On that note , Spence stops him. Pacman beats Bud I think though.
