        What does Duran do better than Pacquiao, and don't say everything. Does Duran have better footwork, speed, stamina, workrate? Because I don't think he does personally. I think some of you overrate the boxers in the past a little too much.

          1 thing alone can make u beat a fighter that has alot of other talents. Duran walks pac down because pac doesnt hurt his chin and duran ko's pac

            At lightweight Duran's speed was very good. Stamina/workrate? This guy went 15 rounds toe 2 toe with srl & hagler :s. I'll give pac a close edge in speed and an edge in footwork, but everything else it's duran. better chin, better power, better boxing skills.

            I can agree that some fighters in the past may be overrated, but roberto duran???? no chance dude, the hungry 135lb version of duran is the best lightweight to ever fight, period. he had a mental edge to him i've never seen since.

              duran stalks him, cuts the ring off, ****s him to the body and wears him down for a late stoppage win

              anything manny throws, duran will defend it or take it and keep moving forward, and duran was good enough at cuttign off the ring to neutralize mannys movement

                  These fantasy match-up topics are dumb... Don't they have a place for them and its not on the boxing forum. This is on the wrong forum. Go to fantasy match-up forum.

                  You want to keep dreaming about fights that can't happen. Theirs the right forum to post them on.

                    who picked pacquiao by KO? the only dudes to legitemately stop duran were tommy hearns (possibly p4p hardest hitter ever) and william joppy

                    the hearns loss was at 154, and duran was several years and pounds past his best

                    in the joppy stoppage loss duran was a complete shell of himself as a 47 year old middleweight, plus duran stayed on his feet, he was just taking too many shots

                    so no way in hell does manny ko, or even hurt duran
