    Would Pac be a better win than Buchanan? Duran himself said that Buchanan was the best/toughest fighter he faced at lightweight not De Jesus. De Jesus is the greater though.

    Overall, yes. Pac didn't stay too long at LW (one fight) but I think he would have been a bigger challenge at LW, had he stayed there, than Buchanan or DeJesus.

    Duran would win but it'll be a firefight.

    Maybe, but Buchanan was a brilliant boxer mover with an outstanding jab. Superior to pac in that dept. He was also as tough as nails with a granit chin and iron will. Pac however is faster, hits much harder and is more explosive than Buchanan. I dont know if I agree.

    That Punk C..I mean Pimp C guy in the Duran/May thread that should still be active on the front page was claiming Duran is only considered an all time great because he was Latino and ranking him fullfills people's racial quota.

    Also mocked Duran for getting knocked out past his prime by the younger and gigantic in contrast Thomas Hearns.

    It might be a war, but I think Duran has a much better defensive, a better chin and more power, so it would be just a matter of time before Pac was was hit with something he couldn't shake off.
