    Duran would probably win this one, he has too much of everything for Pacquiao, he has the chin to take Pacquaio's shots, the power to hut Pacquiao and he had enough speed so it's not a huge advantage for Pacquaio.

Unfortunetly there are many times more the amount of ignorant fans that base their opinions of Duran on the second Leonard fight and blow out loss to Hearns. Duran, in my lifetime, comes as close to the perfect fighting machine as just about any other fighter I have seen. The guy had it all.
      At least were in the same boat in regards to Roberto Duran. All you have to do is watch his fights and see how great he was as an all around fighter. And, read a bit and understand what was going on through the course of his career that would make him lose at certain times...and who he was fighting.

      You should hear what the guy with the glasses said about Duran:

        duran beats down pac and rather easily imo.

        i don't know who would think pac could beat roberto. especially by ko? mofo's smoking some ****.

        he beat sugar ray at 147 and barkley at 160.

        that'd be like pacquiao beating floyd at 147 and pavlik at 160.

        duran would be too strong , too tough and too good for manny.

                  One of the other guy made a great case in that you can't hold the Hearns win against Duran because Joe Louis also got starched early on. Then had interesting comments.

                    At LW at his very best, no one in history beats Duran. At WW very few do.

                      Duran says No Mas, after getting his ass kicked really bad by pacquiao and doesn't get up from his stool.
