Roberto Duran vs Manny Pacquiao @140

[megas30]

depends upon ref. someone who breaks inside fights, many wins , someone who allows it, duran wins

pac has a better shot at beating duran than Floyd tho imo, due to styles

This is a joke? Floyd was a complete fighter at 140. Everyone ducked him. Fact! Floyd toy with both at 140. Duran had problem with movers, "hence no Mas". 140 is Floyd's prime division, so go back and watch Mayweather at 140, a perfect balance of speed, power, strength, length, quickness and ring IQ.

Manos de Piedra by stoppage in a back and forth war.

Don't count out Pacquiao, Duran never faced anything like Pacquiao, actually nobody has ever faced anything like Pacquiao in Duran's era, even though Pacquiao's fundamentals aren't on the level of Duran's, still he can set traps for Duran and his speed angles and southpaw style would surprise Duran, not saying that Pacquiao definitley wins because Pacquiao lost and got outboxed by a fighter with much less skills than Duran in Morales but to me it's a 50-50 fight. Duran is not really a counterpuncher like Mayweather or Marquez and Pacquiao isn't a boxer like Leonard in the rematch and he doesn't have size advantage like Hagler.

It depends, does Manny get to inject his magic salt water into his veins between rounds? If he is allowed to, Manny will obviously grow a 3rd and a 4th arm between the 4th and 5th rounds, if he can get that far it could be trouble for Duran.

Duran destroys Manny, replay of the KO by Marquez.

Give us another example where Duran had problems with movers because ''No Mas'' was because of the clowning around that Leonard was doing, the fight was actually even up to that point.

Duran is absolutely a counter puncher, not in the way Mayweather is but in the way he pressures his opponents, moves forward forcing them to throw punches and countering off them beautifully, he's was more a counter puncher then anything else imo.

He did that using feints while coming forward, hard to make that work against Pacquiao in close range cuz of speed, power and unorthodox style, he doesn't rely on stepping back to lure Pacquiao commit to enter range and then counter.

Duran is a monster and an atg but I would go for pacquiao hail mary KO lol

I don't see how pacquiao could win the fight and I wouldn't be surprised if Duran stopped him
