What happens?
double ko in the first
Pac is doesnt have the ring IQ to beat a complete fighter like Duran. He gets his ass beat at any weight.
Exactly what I was going to say. Duran was too complete a fighter for Pac.Quote:

Pac man,is good at this time back then,I feel there were far better
FIGHTER'S.?;D:excited:
Duran would ko Paq in the later rounds. A great fight to watch would be Marquez vs Duran, that would be just as entertaining.
very predictable answers, just like Ali is the best HW in history
pac would win 9 times out of 10
A while back people were saying Duran at lightweight and Manny at welterweight as he proved a better fighter. Now that Manny has had a poor performance suddenly Duran becomes favourite again. Not saying I disagree but Manny has done very well and been consistently great at moving up the weights except for his last performance.

IMO, he's one of the few fighters who can realistically be in the discussion for all-time greatest P4P. After his last fight at 135, he was 63-1, with 53 knockouts. His one loss was a decision (Esteban DeJesus) that he had avenged with two knockouts. That was the one fight he'd lost in the first 10 years of his career, and the opposition was stiff, with his winning the lightweight title a week after he turned 21. Duran was just an absolute machine at 135 and below. And 147 and above, and when he was in his 30's, he was "merely" great. But the 70s version of Duran was a whole other thing.
I agree at lightweight but what about at 147lb, Duran was the first man to beat leonard, even Hearns could not do it, but he did have some poor performances too.Quote:

not many people today would beat a prime Duran, he wasn't just some brute brawler who came forward, he was an excellent counter puncher, had good defense and foot work, flexible, an underrated jab, and stamina to boot, he would be a nightmare for pretty much anyone today especially from 135 to 147, he would smother Manny and take away his movement and basically burn him out IMO, but Pacquiao's speed would make it interesting, but IMO Duran by KO in the later rounds
Are you idding me? Duran would demolish JMM!!!Quote:

Ooops! I forgot, this is one of those hypothetical situations, or "If" scenarios that Pacquiao savagely loses eleven out of ten times... Hehehe!:)
Duran by brutal KO before the end of the first minute! Har! Har! ;)
How long would Pac Man, last with Hagler one round if he is lucky:Oops:
Duran is no cur, no cur would get in the Ring and stand toe to toe with Hagler,;D
that was one fight, followed up by wars against Hagler, Barkley, Davey Moore, then he went tooth and nail with Hearns until getting sparked, Pacquiao hits nowhere near as hard as Hearns, it's not an insult to Pacquiao to say that he would probably lose to Duran in his prime, the greatest Lightweight in the history of the sportQuote:
