All Duran needs to do is pin Pac to the ropes and work inside because Pac will not fight inside if his life depended on it. Plus Duran in his prime is the master of slipping punches and counterpunching. Very good defensive fighter that guy was. If JMM can outbox Pac's ears off who is an excellent technician then Duran one of the best technicians that ever lived will abuse Pac.
I'm a fan. I like Tim, unlike fighters nowadays, he can actually fight inside and outside. He relies on boxing skills no athleticism or speed. He needs to cool it with his head though.
I don't know but most of my friends even my black friends, co workers, and family who follow boxing hate Floyd. They just can't ignore what Floyd does outside the ring but they still watch him smh.
You can force them to take the lead which can make them very uncomfortable, kind of what Jimmy Young did to Ali or Mayweather did to Marquez (but this can only be effective if you are an excellent technician). Or you can swarm them, take away their jab like what Vazquez did to Marquez or what Tyson and Frazier did to their opponents (not sure if this would work with JMM). Also, lots of feints can definitely frustrate counterpunchers since that makes them over commit and you can then counterpunch them. Or try to get inside and rough them up, like what Roberto Duran and Andre Ward does.
