Prime Manny Pacquiao vs Prime Roberto Duran at 147

[JakeTheBoxer]

Duran from Montreal 1980 was a monster. That version of Duran would beat every welterweight.

Depends on what kind of shape Duran is in between fights. He often balloned way up and this took a toll on him. Would love to see a round robin of Duran , Pacquaio, Chavez, and Arguello at 135 or even 140.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Duran is one of the best fighters ever. Dude was natural lightweight, but he captured a middleweight title beating Barkley.

No CW like Cotto, Duran all day long.

Lol what day of cotto was at 157

[Fangedgrowl]

Duran had such a subtle defense. He was hard to hit clean. I think i only saw Hearns do it. Barkley hit him with a hook but i think duran slipped it to take the effect off. I thought Barkley won that fight, but it was close. I would have loved to seen Duran and Chavez sr. at 135 if both were in their primes. That would be some high quality stuff.

I gotta go with Pacman. Normally, I would choose Duran but I can't trust him. I don't know which Duran would show up or will he have another meltdown in the ring and shut it down like he did against Leonard in their rematch.

Duran of course. Pac's style is somewhat similar to Duran but Pacquaio doesn't have the cunning, craftiness or smarts that Duran had. Plus, Duran is bigger and stronger.

Lol what? What Pacquiao doesn't have is the ability to quit. Duran does.

manny kinda similar to Duran in style

I’m not seeing it. Leonard would clown on manny. manny gets a sprain ankle as he fails to cut the ring off on Leonard

This too. Manny would take a beating in the ring before saying f it out of frustration

Huge pressure on him to be a good role model for his people

Too bad we didn’t get to see how manny would respond if Floyd mocks and taunts him while they boxing
