Manny Pacquiao vs Roberto Duran...

[Alex_Hayden]

Epic troll thread is epic lol

But I'd bet Duran would end it to the head or to the body fairly quickly. No one Paq has faced above 130 has had the physical attributes that Duran had. Manny couldn't even stop Margarito and Tony's head is a free target for 12 rounds. I can't imagine him lasting against Duran who would actually be landing and fighting back in those same 12 rounds. I mean one slow thudding body shot from Margarito had Manny hurt. If Duran ever had Manny on the ropes the way Margarito did, I honestly think the size difference would have shown up drastically.

Duran by obliteration.

lol Cute thread though.

Duran blows hot and cold, he wouldnt beat manny. Put your money on Pac as he is more consistent at 140+.

Duran is good at slipping the jab and stuff, but we know manny dont throw many jabs as they are not his main priority. He uses his great feet to come in and out with speed and he is like a jack in the box with his movement around the ring.
When he is in range he would unload and hurt Duran like he did cotto and everyone else he fights.

Sorry but Duran has this. Duran's counterpunching ability while slipping punches, monster chin and just had an array of punches with high work activity. And half way into his career he started to have sloppy training habits and will still win. It would had been a great fight if these two ever met but Duran has more dept and boxing IQ

For a second there I thought you were describing pac

[dyu]

this guy is comparing guzman-pacquiao at 130 to margarito-floyd at 147.

lmfao

margarito was the #1 fighter at ww BEFORE floyd moved to 147.

even after he lost to pwill he was still top 3-4 and eventually #2 and then #1 again.


guzman only became top ranked at 130 AFTER barrera , morales , marquez and pacquiao ALL left or retired.

ding ding ding.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

People need to look back.. who was the last people to trouble Pac? Morales and Marquez.. his speed vs Margarito, Clottey, Cotto and all these big guys seems insane.. I don't remeber him looking like he had a huge speed advantage over Morales/Marquez..

Duran would beat him for sure at 135 and probably 147

Any current future HOF will lose to a HOF fighters from the 80's back. It's just how most people tend to be bias to the past all time greats even though most fighters today are doing scientific approach of boxing, right down from nutrition to the approach of boxing technique.

And to think that these ESPN phonies actually have Pacquiao a greater fighter then Duran..
