    Roberto Duran was mean and he could really cross the line with the way he acted, but he backed it up and I don't think Manny would really appreciate Roberto's charisma...I don't see any fighters out there today that are as menacing as Duran was and the odd fact is Roberto was an EXCELLENT pure boxer, great defense, solid chin, good handspeed, and I don't see Manny Pacquiao taking the beating Ray Leonard did and lasting the distance.

    These would be interesting matchups for Pacquiao though:
    Naseem Hamed....I would have LOVED to see Naz get starched!

    but seriously

    Wow Titofan you know your one of my favorite poster's here, but i couldn't disagree with you more, Manny Pacquiao KO's JCC ? no way in hell Manny Pacquiao more often than not, is an accumulation puncher. Plus JCC has one of the best chins of all time.

    He took Edwin Rosario's best punches like it was nothing, and Edwin Rosario is one of the hardest hitting Lightweights of all time. In JCC's prime i never see him ever really hurt, i mean he was stunned a few times against Juan La Porte, but never anything serious.

    Gotta go with Duran...he fights back and then some.Really would do a number with a darting in and out Manny and still not sold on Pacquiao fighting well backing up,and if anyone could back Manny and draw him into ...its a prime tenacious Duran.

    Cannot pic Pac over Chavez either.If you ran,boxed 90% Chavez would eventually be standing on your chest.He had problems with at range boxers,with pop and side to side.I think he would just have far too much in punch selection,over/under and could be a fantastic inside fighter but indeed a slow starter.Pac would be in front of him eventually,and his body would pay a big price,there goes the legs and I dont see Pacs pop taking a huge toll on Chavezs cast iron head.

    Just wondering if anyones changed their minds on the dream matches mentioned in this thread? I haven't, I still think Duran would be too much for Pac.

    Would take a lifetime of pac knockouts for me to be convinced at 147 to 160 he would stand a chance against duran

    Duran throws the bigger, harder more productive punches all night long. Pacs speed would knock him off balance sure. But eventually roberto would simply double on him and his speed would be way too much.

    Over 12 it would go to a decision
    Over 15 duran stops him late on
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    This could be interesting...Duran can't be Pacquiao or Pacquiao can't be Duran.

    Both are great and Duran is an ATG. while Pac is not yet.

    They have different accomplishments and era

    For now no doubt id pick Duran over Pacquiao. Duran is a monster starting at 135 while Pacquiao was its best starting at 126.

    todays generation maybe for Pacquiao. thats why we are comparing to those who are some all time greats.

    history will tell.
