Are you for real? Duran never stopped many fighters, with much less ability than Pac, so what excuse do you use for that? Look at Durans resume and a lot of whos that, took him the distance. So how come all of a sudden Duran miraculously stops Pac? Pac is the man who proves he stops people!!!

Body work stoppages Duran needs to be close for much of the fight. It isnt happening with Pac.

The thread is about a 140weight fight. Duran had enough problems with Buchanan and Pac knocked out potential best british fighter ever in 2 rounds so that gets me thinking.

Pacs defense cant be that bad because he isnt being knocked out, and unless he has got the toughest chin in the world it tells me Pac is probably not getting hit cleanly as much as you think he does. Otherwise he would be knocked out like Duran was against Hearns.

How on earth is Ricky Hatton potentially the best british fighter ever? And Why are you using triangle theories? For BRITISH fighters?!

Because Duran 'had problems' with Buchanan and Pacqiauo beat Hatton in 2, It gets you thinking what? You can't be serious.

And Buchanan was one hell of a fighter anyway.

My word it gets worse...

Duran getting knocked out by Tommy Hearns at 154 means he has a worse defense than Pacqiauo???

Let me tell you, If Pacqiauo was getting hit with that shot, he would be in the same state as Duran.

I hope not.

But sadly, it seems that way.

Pacquiao would not get hit by a shot like that.

His great footwork means he is very hard to hit clean.

lol @ larry the thread starter. You did not even vote on your own poll.

He isnt,in all honesty

So what your telling is;

Pacqiauo at a weight he's never seen Vs an ATG in arguablly his best weight class, wouldn't land a straight right hand on Manny Pacqiauo?

In his last 3 fights Cotto, Clottey and Margarito have landed a clean right hand on Pacqiauo in spells of those fights.

Yet your telling me theres no chance a bigger, stronger, faster, greater fighter in Tommy Hearns won't?

If so, your simply delusional.

Exactly, Duran is the one getting knocked out by those punches,and they use it as for a reason why Duran could beat Pac? Pac isnt being hit with those punches to be knocked out is he now? You say Pacs defense isnt great, so why isnt he being knocked out by those, and its Duran? Margarito had 12 rounds to find one of those haye makers as did Cotto.

yeah lets be real. Manny has better footwork, handspeed with better combination. and he uses all those to his advantage. i wouldnt count Pac out. Duran may have great chin but Manny would still make him look like he got hit with the baseball bat like what happened to Margarito, Cotto, Dela Hoya, Diaz..

I think Manny could beat Duran, but no way that happens. Duran is one of the best defensive fighters of all time when he was in his prime.
