    Roberto Duran vs. Manny Pacquiao@135

    Now the last fantasy match up with Pacquiao and Chavez got way more attention, debate, and confusion then I thought would generate. I definitely don't expect this thread to garner the same attention due to the fact that 135 was Roberto's best weight and he was an absolute menace and terror at that weight, plus the fact Manny didn't stay long at all in the lightweight division and while he was there the competition he faced wasn't stiff to say the least, though he did look spectacular in dismantling Diaz. With all this being said, just as I thought Chavez would have destroyed Pacquiao in the latter rounds of their fantasy match up, I cant help but envision Duran starching Pacquiao early. Let me know what you guys think.

      If Pac gave him a Sugar Ray Leonard style lesson then yes, however, the more likely scenario is that Pac's natural fighting instinct came into play and he starts to trade and Duran takes him out.

      I'm not really sure though, i can't judge how it would pan out with Pac only having fought 1 fight at Lightweight.

        Duran wins by ko in less then 6 rounds to much skill for Pac. Pac is to dumb to out smart Duran or beat Duran at his own game brawling. hell even Duran said in a inteview Pac dont got nothing on me in brawling he wont win that game with me and i agree with him

            Duran with a mindblowing KO in the 5th.

              The Duran that fought Ray Leonard was nothing like the monster he was at 135 pounds.

                Duran bu mid to late rounds KO.

                Theres nothing that Pacquiao can bring to the table style wise that can trouble Duran.

                Maybe a lucky shot, but besides that, Duran ices his ass!!!!!!
