Manny versus duran at 140??

[SCtrojansbaby]

Both Pacquiao and Duran have bad footwork. Duran is extreamly tough to hit. Pacquiao is easy to hit. Both guys have great chins. Pacquiao has much faster hands. Duran was stronger. Duran can fight of his back foot. Pacquiao has no clue how to fight off his back foot. Pacquiao is a terrible inside fighter. Duran is a great inside fighter. So its pretty hard to see Pacquiao winning when he isn't as versitile and they are equally as talented.

you're wasting your energy on this guy.

Yeah but I'm bored.

Duran is about 60 years old and would have to lose 100 pounds, would not be a fair fight.

manny has fast feet but not great footwork..Look at his back feet when he launches his left or when he throws the right hook his front foot is not placed right.....Morales took atdantage of that and he has never fixed it..IT leaves the ground all the time

Roberto Duran in his PRIME when he had that Beard:


WOULD MURDER PACQUIAO! nothing against Pacquiao but a lot of younger boxing fans probably only seen Duran against Leonard and when he lost to Hagler and Hearns when he was older and he moved up in weight but Duran in his PRIME...BEAST!

[pacquia0]

wow..man get out of my thread...manny recent opponents aint got **** on duran not even close..and mannys hand speed better than sugar rays by alot???whos alt are you and why are you trolling

Manny has fought De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto and Margarito and is going to fight Mosley. These guys are all good fighters. Duran fought some good fighter but the diferance between him and Pac is that Duran lost to the best fighters he fought.

I don't care what they say, there are many experts that know more than them and would disagree, also you have to take into account that people are going to over-glorify current fighters.



Duran wasn't a power puncher, he could punch but he was so much more than that, and the second Leonard fight is overrated, he was only behind a couple of points and Pacquiao hasn't ever shown anywhere near the movement Leonard exhibited in the rematch. Duran had more dimensions to his game than Pacquiao and is much more complete, and does pretty much everything better than Marquez.

Steward has said that Duran was a power puncher and that fighters with movement caused him problems. Steward trained Hearns, you know the guy who KTFO of Duran. The guy also trained Lewis, I think the guy knows what hes on about. RJJ was P4P#1 and beat Hopkins and Toney. You really think you know more than these guys?

Which boxers or trainers back up your opinion?

JMM was when Pacquiao was green and inexperianced. Duran lost and had close fights with alot worse fighters than JMM.

Pacquiao is a complete fighter. Counterpunching, jab, footwork, combinations he has it all. Duran struggles with fighters who have movement and Pac is great at this. Alot of Pacs KOs also come from when he exchanges with his opponent so if Duran tries to walk through Pac he could get stopped.

SRL beat Duran in the second fight? Duran quit so I dont really see why scorecards matter.
