Prime 4 Prime Match: Manny Pacquiao vs Roberto Duran

[talip bin osman]

a little perspective here...

MP's ability to absorb a shot from a prime welterweight & actually hurt a prime welterweight is amazing...

duran's ability to absorb a shot from a middleweight & actually hurt a prime middleweight while he was way past his prime already is even more amazing...

then comes along your question prime for prime...

answer it yourself man...

I've not seen much of Duran, but seems to his a brawler type guy with a good chin and power fists. Pacquiao on the other hand is not the lets go and get some brawl type of guy, he usually want to test the waters if he can take it otherwise he'll be a moving target and attacks you in and out on different angles. I'm leaning a bit on Pac.

Why not Leonard or Hearns?

Cause Durans the weakest link out of the 4...lol

Duran, people forget Duran was an excellent boxer when he needed to be.

[jrosales13]

Duran could box, Duran could brawl, Duran could punch, Duran could take a punch. People really need to see a prime Duran if they think he is not capable of boxing. At 135 Duran beats him pretty easily. Duran is arguebly the best LW of all time.

Even Freddie said Pacquiao is not as good as Duran. I don't think it would be a onesided as everyone might say but Duran takes it.

I don't think duran's chin can hold on to pacquiao's power if hearns could ko him in round 2 i think pacquiao could do it in 11 and 12.

who wins this fight and why?

Manny would make Duran do an Oscar.

Very very good fight. both generally don't lose in slug fests.

might edge it to Duran, but Pac just destroyed a very good WW who is very strong.
