Pac would beat Duran, with movement, footspeed, handspeed, and Duran would have problems dealing with it. People criticize pac for having close fights with JMM, but JMM is better than Laing thats for sure as is morales.
Duran would win he has superior ring IQ, great defence and he would take Manny apart on the inside, Lets not forget that we are talking about Prime Duran here not weight drained past prime or never any good old men that Pac has fought as of late.
Duran late stoppage or U.D
Lets not forget that when questioned Roach himself has said Duran would have been to much for Pac.

The fight with Laing was neither a prime Duran or at 140 its about as relevant to this thread as Pacs loss to the great Rustico Torrecampo.

Pacs defense is as good as Durans that is why Pac is not being knocked out now. And we are talking prime Pac as well. THe prime Pac hasnt been beaten yet. Morales beat a work in progress Pac, and JMM gave close fights to a work in progress Pac as well. Roach was talking about lightweight.

Yes it was a prime duran, a prime Duran who was expected to win as people had high expectations of Duran as one of the best in the world, so you have to deliver when people expect things of you, which Duran didnt do. Wins maketh the man, so losses naturally taketh away. Duran was in his near prime that it should be irrelevant. Pac wouldnt be losing to the laings of this world. And the rustico torrecamp fight has nothing to do with it. THe Pac back then wasnt the Pac of today, as Pac is a blossomer. Duran was the finished article against Laing.
People always use bad analogies with me.

It was?
Coming off a loss in his 3rd weight class was his prime?

LOL Duran was 77 fights into his pro career and coming off a loss when he fought Laing, Duran weighed in at 155lbs well above his prime weight class.
If you think that was a prime version of Duran you don't know a lot do you? (and that's being kind). As I said a past prime out of shape Duran VS Laing couldn't be more irrelevant to this thread
