      Nobody can rule him completely out.

      i feel every time eras are being compared the fighter of the past wins.
      i think it would be much closer than many people says. (present vs past in general)

        Agreed, nostalgia clouds many people's judgements. Manny is an ATG himself, he may or may not beat them but they would be competitive fights that's for sure.

                  hard to tell but anyone saying pac has no chance still underestimates this guys abilities.

                    RM : The two boxing greats who Mannys been compared to as of late, due to his success in moving up multiple weight classes are Roberto Duran and Pernell Whitaker. How do you think Manny would match up with them at 135?

                    FR : Its tough to compare eras, of course. Pernell was a great boxer, and Manny has trouble with the counter-punching style a little bit, but I dont think Pernell could stand the pressure. With Duran, I think Manny could beat him. Duran was a ballsy guy; he liked to fight, but, you know, No Más made me wonder if he had any quit in him. In the past, at [lightweight], I picked Duran to win, but this time I think Manny would win by decision now.

                    Freddie sure does rate his boy highly! thoughts ..?
                    Freddie had a few to many knocks to the head i think!!!

                      Honestly as talented as Pac is, I could defiantly see him beating whitaker and duran. I could also see both beating Pac because all three are not only talented but beatable. If Jose Luis Ramirez (who Pac is way more talented than) can beat a prime Whitaker, why can't Pacquiao. Same with Duran. I feel Manny is more talented that Kirklang Lang and Lang beat a prime Duran. The thing is this....Inboxing no one is unbeatable esp. Duran and Whitaker. People try to carry a mistique about these past fighters but Its possible that a Mosley, Mayweather or Pac at 135 could end up beating either if they were matched up. Is also possible those 3 could get blew out the water by Duran and Whitaker.
                      this is a real good answer. posters biased towards the past fighters need to read this.
