Prime Manny Pacquiao vs Prime Roberto Duran at 147

[RomanReigns]

The Pacquiao who beat Cotto, Mosley and Clottey. Vs Duran who beat Sugar Ray Leonard. I pick Pacquiao via 6th round No Mas.

[Roadblock]

No CW like Cotto, Duran all day long.

I think Duran takes its 7-5. Duran loves to comeforward and Pacquiao is lethal against opponents that come forward against him. Size advantage is negligable sincen Duran is 5'6 and Pac is 5'5, Duran is prolly 5 lbs bigger.

It would FOTY. Leaning toward Duran in a razon thin decision.

The Pacquiao who beat Cotto, Mosley and Clottey. Vs Duran who beat Sugar Ray Leonard. I pick Pacquiao via 6th round No Mas.

I think Duran would win a close fight. They were both great but Duran was naturally the bigger man by about 10 pounds. In a close fight being the bigger stronger harder punching man could make the difference. Duran had an iron jaw.

Pac is not a big welter... it took him years to develop into 147

against Duran, I think 140 would be his best shot

I would like to see this same question asked at 140, it's a better matchup

still, GREAT fight !

The Duran of 1980 Montreal would have inflicted punishment on Pac. Duran would need the mindset he had of hating Leonard and thinking of him as a media creation at the time.

Great fight. Pac /Duran at 140 OR 135 IS GREAT. . AT 147 it depends. If Duran of Motreal shows up and bulls forward wow a great fight. If its the one that lost to Benitez or lEONARD 2. Then Maybe Pac turns , pivots him and shot guns him with speed to death.

Duran, his defense gets overrated but I think the pressure he would put on pac would eventually overwhelm Pacquiao and I can see a late stoppage for Duran
