This proves Pac is better than Duran/Hearns/Leonard/Hagler

I agree

 

Hagler certainly has no better wins unless you count his victory over a WW moving up as good as Hatton, EM, JMM, MAB and Cotto. And if you do, you're an idiot.

 

Duran is a quitter, he couldn't take that heat. And I would put him third of those four, behind Hearns and SRL.

 

What are you talking about? At Welter Duran was still very fast,he would not be overwhelmed by Pacs speed. Duran didnt even start to slow down until he moved to Jr middle. He would beat Pacquio by a close decision at Welter. Have you seen Duran at Welter? Check out the 1st Leonard fight or his fight with Palomino,and you will see that he was almost matching Leonard. Against Palomino he pitched a shutout because he was just to fast for Palomino.

 

Duran looked the same against Leonard in 1980 in the rematch as he did against Benitez in 1982. That was not weight, the speed of the guys at 154 like Hearns and Benitez made Duran look slow. With a lesser fighter like Moore and Barkley, Duran looked fast enough.

 

Definitely not better, but getting close.

(Except SRL who is probably a step ahead of all of them)

 

+1

 

what a stupid thread

 

God no. Duran has great speed too.

 

I agree with this, if this is fought in the center ring and they trade, I think Duran gets stopped.. Remember what Steward said, Pac is the master of the punch you couldnt see with power and I dont care how fast people think Duran is at 147 but hes no faster than Pac. Also Duran doesnt hit harder than Cotto, I cant be told otherwise because it aint true. This is a bad matchup for Roberto

And when Armstrongs name was brought up both Steward and Merchant said Hank never had Pacs speed and power. This is 2009 reality folks, live in it.

 

Are you kracie Montana? Pacs great but not above Duran or SRL yet.

 

im sure it had nothing to do with the fact that duran was a natural lightweight

 

What? Pac's a heavyweight? I know about 90% of the board is in love with Duran and Pryor's evil eye, but Pac would smack the **** out of both of them. Duran wasn't as good as Benitez, people SHOULD be talking about Hearns, SRL, Hagler and Benitez. If it wasn't for that one fluke victory over SRL we'd never have to hear all this mess about Duran.

 

I think Duran woudn't fight the type of fight you are thinking....

 

wow. time has changed
