    Dafuq? A less ferocious Pac? He's far, far more cerebral than Pac. Pac is like Amir Khan with an atg chin. Loma would frustrate Duran and wouldn't be either intimidated or flustered.
    One thing that would do for Duran is someone making him look a ¢unt, and Loma would do that better than anyone. Duran loses the psychological battle and ultimately the fight.

    Pac is far closer to Khan in style than Loma. The fact you compare Loma to Pacquiao is...just...miles off. They are nothing alike whereas Pac is in-out in straight lines with a straight left, Khan is in-out with a straight 1-2.
    Loma has all the tricks in the book and has written some new pages!

    Ha sorry, didn't read the full post. I see now that Pac fustigates SNV via straight left to the groin. He is indeed the goat.

    What are you talking about, I've never compared Pac to Loma.

    You compared Pac to Khan, they are nothing alike.

    No I did
    Duran beat Leonard, who is offensively better than Loma, Pacquiao is calculated with his offence, like Loma. That was the comparison I was drawing.
    Pac has far from an ATG chin. He was KOed twice by Journeymen. And I was right he's a calculated offensive fighter who isn't as ferocious as Manny.

    Lomachenko cribbed the spin to the right move from Pac. Prime Pac had opponents turning 180 degrees as does Lomachenko.

    Well Ray Leonard a pretty hard punching Welterweight could not keep him off of him. Hearns could, but he punches 5 times harder than Leonard and 10000 times harder than Loma.

    Could Loma dance around the ring for 12 or 15 rounds? I doubt it, Durans footwork and skills are too good. He will eventually force Loma to engage.

    Based off what? No disrespect to Crawford. But who exactly had this man beaten? Really, who has he beat?

    Pac may not have an ATG chin. But he was never dropped in his prime. And given his style and quality of opposition that was some accomplishment.
