Roach: "Prime Duran Would Beat Pacquiao"

i think the fight would be alot more competitive than most think, but no doubt a prime duran would win this one. manny would have his moments, but duran would put alot of emphasis behind his punches alot like manny does, could be just as fast, has the same high energy level, and the pressure on manny would of taken it's toll in the later rounds. it might of been a see saw battle, maybe even manny dropping duran in the process, but duran by decision or late stoppage of manny. duran's right hand was one of the best of all time. it struck like lightning and he was very precise with it, ending fights with it

 

He's right.

It's good to see he's objective about it.

 

Duran was truly awesome when he trained for a fight. He had Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown in his corner too.

 

What an honest answer! I think Pacquiao might give him a little trouble early before getting stopped around the 4th or 5th round.

 

LMAO at all you guys thinkin

"wow Roach IS the truth"
"can you believe Roach actually admitted this?"

Brave prediction eh *******s?



How bout this one..... I think SRL would beat pac too

I really feel he would just be too much



Get real dudes. Roach is saying nothing. Why crowd round his ass for a lick??

 

****, a prime Duran would beat Floyd so bad that he will have to use the money for surgery not for throwing it.

 

I watched friday nite fights I don't remember Duran s name coming up. Huh? It must'a been when I went to the bathroom Man Alive what a mess I made. Mr Roach, fav fighter is duran I never knew that one.. thing is if manny continues his incredible pace he can over take duran I'm the biggest duran fan ever and I love manny. Gosh! I can't pick.

 

the question is who would win at 140 and he picks duran...

 

If it will make you feel better, anyone can beat Pac in a mythical fight.

 

Well, to be fair, if he picked Pacquiao, he would have got laughed at, tho credit to him because Id have expected him to avoid answering TBH.

 

You still havent changed that gay avater :-(

 

While way past his prime at 37.

Imagine what a prime Duran would do to Pacquiao..... :!: :dead

 

Extremely unlikely, Id be shocked actually unless it were 1 of those flash ones were Duran was off balance or something... but no way does Pac have enough power to put Duran down, Leonard or Hagler couldnt so no chance for Manny.

 

No disrespect but you dont sound like the biggest Duran fan ever

This fight WOULD NOT be that competitive, Duran would destroy Pacman, believe me when I tell you that, no contest.

:good

 

roach is such a nice guy and a incredible trainer!! and he's honest
