Who wins this 4-man tournament of lightweight bangers in their primes?
Roberto Duran from the mid 70's
Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. from the late 80's
Sugar Shane Mosley from the late 90's
Manny Pacquiao from 2008
As always with fantasy fights, Manny would finish last. KO'd in the first round by everyone. Duran might even finish him off during the ring walk actually.
and why is that? is it bcuz everyone hates manny, or is it bcuz his fans overrate him and place him in fantasy matchups against guys like robinson, leonard, hearns and now duran at which point real boxing fans who realize pac would have no chance against those guys vote accordingly.
u can argue how mosley, pac and JCC should be ranked but duran is a level above them. theres no doubt about that, nobdy is hating on manny for saying so just like nobody is hating on chavezs or mosley, its just common sense.

I think it's seeded
Duran
Chavez
Pacquiao
Mosley
So if it's seeded like I think it should be, Duran overcomes Mosley, beating his way inside and hurting him bad but probably no stoppage. Maybe 8-4, 9-3 for Duran.
Chavez vs. Pacquiao is a dream match-up, and even though I rate Chavez higher than Pacquiao all time (win over Floyd changes that, though), Pacquiao's incredible combinations and movement frustrate him like Taylor. He also is a much bigger puncher than Taylor (although he's super-overrated by the Pactards) and could probably do some damage, though not enough for a stoppage. Whenever Chavez finds his way inside, though, it's bad news for Manny, who is a shit inside fighter. Close, close SD for Pacquiao.
Duran vs. Pacquiao goes a lot like Chavez-Pacquiao, but Duran forces himself inside faster and hurts him bad. Possible stoppage, but I would probably say no. Pac-Man's a tough mother****er.
Duran would win the tourney, the more interesting question is who would meet in the finals, because in my opinion it depends on the seeding. Who fights who would be a big determination. Maybe Super Six style, where everyone fights everyone?
