Do you guys think Pacquiao is on a par with Duran?

[Thraxox]

I can see the parallels between them. Each of them are ATGs. In a head to head fight I’d have to favor a prime Duran between 135-147.

Duran is somewhat slightly bigger by Pacquiao, its negligible. Them going on at 140 would be a legendary.

From a neutral perspective, legacy wise they are very similar imo

Pacquiao > Duran... Time has shown that people appreciate fighters more after time has passed, this will be very true with Pacquiao. Duran wouldn't beat a prime Pacquiao, im sorry but you can't be an 8 division champ if there's not something extraordinary about that fighter

[FinitoxDinamita]

Duran would severely hurt Pacman. Inside and out, Duran can do it all and he has too many weapons for Pacman to overcome.

Matchmaking is how you become a multi weight champ and Mannys team were experts at it, add in some CWs and bogus paperbelts and being a great fighter makes it all work, notice how many 4 division champs there are and how many more are jumping weight classes today.

The title dont mean sht its about who had it and what were the conditions and form of the fighters going into the bout , titles on their own dont mean much you have to know the full backstory to see its true worth.

Duran would be too much for Manny because Manny would fight him and thats not going to work against a LW machine , to beat Duram you have got to outbox him with skills or have a hammer ala Hearns, you wont out fight him.

The Pac which beat Cotto beats Duran.

The Pac which beat Cotto beats Duran.

At what weight ?

The Pac which beat Cotto beats Duran.

Exactly this. Way too ferocious, too fast, vicious KO power and tremendous accuracy. He would stop Duran by the 7th or 8th. Any weight between 135-147.

My guy just DOMINATED the #1 UNDEFEATED WW CHAMP KEITH ONE TIME THURMAN and he’s 10 years older, at 40!

Gtfoh. People forget so quick what he was doing the entire 2000’s.

Duran wouldnt be at a CW coming of his worst career defeat, this only happens in your fantasy.

Manny has 7 defeats, 3 off being Koed and he is going to beat Duran based on a CW win against a guy that was nearly cheat beat to death.

Manny fanboys cant read form, for them its all about inflating wins way above what really happened.

Unless Durans top 5 all time. Pac s greater.
