prime pac vs prime duran

Prime Pac for me is at FW..I think 140 Pac(who carried his power very well there) can beat 140 Duran..Anywhere else and Pac doesn't have so many physical advantage.

 

then Degale is better then Groves :nut

 

ok im done, sorry that was too much fun

 

orly ? i wonder how

 

I honestly don't think Pac is even that much quicker than a Lightweight Duran, if at all. Duran had the far better defensive reflexes and countering instincts. Both had exceptionally fast feet and ability to close the distance, Pacquiao the more bounce in his step, better in and out movement. Pacquiao probably has the slightly quicker hands, but he wasn't as skilled a puncher as Duran.

Leonard was bigger, stronger, faster, more powerful, and more skilled than Pacquiao, and Duran, 12 pounds above his best weight, 12 years into his career, beasted him. Yes, styles make match-ups and the comparisons between Leonard and Pacquiao as stylists are minimal at best, but to be honest even as stylists I expect Leonard matched up better. Pacquiao does not have what it takes from a skills perspective to cope with Duran's inside skills, and he wouldn't be boxing off the back-foot, so you do the math.

 

Duran had a jab and one of the best right hands in boxing going to Mannys body would only be one of many concerns this aint a brawler like Ricky Hatton hes THE greatest brawler of all one that could box, brawl, and punch. Duran would knockoff the fake mustache, beard, and wig Manny has along with the tape for trying to look like Hands of Stone.

 

I can see Pac winning at 147, but...no. A majority of the time, Duran would be too much for him. Too complete, too durable, and too relentless.

 

How many rounds 12 or 15?

and idk duran wasnt called hands of stone for no reason you know those body shots would mess pac up.

Pac's hand speed may be a slight problem for duran but roberto has fought speedsters before. the awkward style of pac could also be a problem but like others have said duran defense is far superior to the likes of say a miguel cotto.

also if duran got pac on the rope like cotto did in the early stages of the pac v cotto fight then duran unloads a hell storm of punishment as opposed to the fearful approach that cotto took. I remember thinking cotto was too scared of pac's counters to throw alot while he had manny hurt but like I said Duran>Pac's recent comp but that's not entirely pac's fault. (****ing arum)

I like the matchup though and I dont it would go to a decision.
