Who takes it? I am divided as to who would win.

I don't think Pac man has much to keep Duran off of him for long. But Manny keeps it competetive until he gets caught too hard. Duran KO 5-7 IMO

This has been done soo many times, general consensus is Duran by UD or late KO, he's just too good for Pacquaio at 135.

Then again I can't think of anyone other the maybe Whitaker that I'd choose over Duran at Lightweight.

I think Pacquiao would give Duran a lot of problems with his speed.

Pacquiao has incredible speed and stamina - he never tires. He can win this fight.

Yes, and Duran never had problems dealing with speed and was also known to finish every fight much harder than he started....and he didn't start slow.

Anyway, Duran wins by UD and breaks Pac down to the body and knocks him out with a body shots late. Simply doesn't have the goods to beat Duran at his best.

This is how crazy NSB has become though; recently there was a discussion on this and there was a bunch of guys saying that all Pac needed to do was fight like Ray Leonard and he'd win easily.....because Pacquiao has the boxing skill, height, power and combinations along with the actual classic boxing footwork and jab of Leonard at 147.

Funniest **** I'd read in ages. Pac struggles with counter punchers and nearly every single offensive thing Duran does is all off counter punching. He's a counter puncher first and aggressive fighter second. As for Pac's defense compared to Duran's, well, there isn't any comparison there. Pac will get hit a lot and will struggle to hit Duran enough to beat him.

Duran would make Manny miss alot. Duran by UD Pacman would start fast but Duran would win the last 6-7 rounds decisively
