    Default Pac vs Roberto Duran!!

    This is a fantasy match i've been thinking about for a while. You have 2 fighters who went through a lot of weight divisions and dominated. But if they were to meet at say 135 or 140 in their respective primes (assuming Pac is prime right now), who would you go for and how? I'm personally swaying for Duran but I don't think it's as easy as some MAY make out. Yes Duran was very solid and durable and probably hits quite a bit harder than Pac, but Pac definitley holds speed over him IMO.

    To be honest I think Pac would take the early rounds but i see Duran closing the ring down and pressuring mistakes from Pac the more it goes on and then closing the show around about the 10th from the constant pressure.

    How do you see it??

    Right now I am going with DUran because he was naturally the bigger man, and his style would have been bad news for Pacquiao's style up to now. I really think we can't give a good answer until Manny fights Cotto tomorrow night.

    Whilst I was typing the thread up I was thinking the same but then decided to go with how I thought at the moment. If I change my mind after tomorrow i'll make it known on here.

    I'd have to go with Duran anything above lightweight. but even at lightweight In the first fight it's Duran in a rematch it's a toss up. Duran has too much ring savvy. Pacquiao would get very frustrated and would have to learn how to deal with Duran's clever use of the body. Even with Roach in pacquiao's corner, it will take a second fight for Pacquiao to be able to coup.

    Thats another one I have been thinking about. The problem is I think both have natural size on Pac and that would be telling IMO.

    i would favour jcc over pac. but i might change my mind by the end of this weekend depending on what happens in the cotto fight. its better to gauge these dream fights when all is said and done and the fighters finished his career

    Depends at what weightclass to be honest, but all i know is that the JCC at the lighter weights was fantastic. And he was so accurate especially with his straight right hand, and body shots.

    I can't see Manny Pacquiao beating JCC though now thinking about it. JCC's body work is too good, he's too accurate and he's too tough. People will say what about the Pernell Whitaker fight.

    Well that was at Welterweight a division JCC didn't do great things at, plus Manny Pacquiao is no Pernell Whitaker especially at defense, Manny Pacquiao is very hittable.

    Then there's Meldrick Taylor but then again, Meldrick Taylor fought the fight of his life. Manny Pacquiao isn't as fast as Meldrick Taylor, he doesn't put combination's together as well, and he isn't as skillful as a boxer as Meldrick Taylor.

    I just think Manny Pacquiao would be too wide open to the body, and JCC would catch up to him eventually. I know Hector Camacho isn't as powerful or quite as good as Manny Pacquiao, but still he was a skillful Southpaw, and JCC had no trouble with the Southpaw stance.

    Because he has a very good straight right hand, a Southpaw's biggest weakness. And a great body attack which he wouldn't have trouble finding against Manny Pacquiao, JCC by TKO in 10 or 11 IMO.

    I think prime Duran at lightweight would KO Pacquiao. While Pacquiao is obviously faster Duran's own speed was underrated. Duran had a great jab, head movement and overall defense despite being such a formidable offensive opponent. Duran was also great at feinting and would offset Pacquiao's timing. If SRL could not escape Duran in their first fight I don't see Pacquiao maintaining his balance and avoiding the ropes. Pacquiao would eventually bite the bait and try to match Duran's machismo. Pacquiao's lack of true inside game would come back to haunt him as Duran would methodically beat him up. Duran and Pacquiao are both emotional fighters but Duran couples this with ring intelligence proven throughout his whole career. Duran would not be as easy to turn as other "slow" opponents Pacquiao has fought as his contant yet tactical pressure would force Pacquiao to turn where he wanted. Whatever the outcome it would be a hell of a fight. At times, Pacquiao's movement before exchanges and tendency to express his disdain for his opponent's efforts remind me of Duran.

    Against JCC I just see Pacquiao's overall speed of body being too much for Chavez. He would be in-sting-out so many times that JCC would eventually slow down even more and would be a trudging cut fest. I think that if Pacquiao tried that against Duran he would find himself being chased down the same way SLL did yet I don't think he has anywhere near the ring intelligence or natural disposition to avoid the overwhelming physicality of Duran anywhere near as well as Leonard did nor the slickness inside to avoid the inevitable punishment.
