    Over 12 rounds, both above their best weights & slightly past their peak.

    Who would win & why?

    Reasoned comments only please:good

    Are we talking about the fight or the event?

    Duran is Pacquiao's worst nightmare and would walk him down destroying his body at the same time out boxing him, Duran's defense would be too good for Pacquiao's outside game.

    Roberto Duran was the best fighter of that era IMO.

    Pacquiao ud, the problem is montreal duran was such a beast hat he most likely will win this fantasy match up.
    Pac has speed and footwork, he would never win a brawl or kncok duran out but he can win a ud.
    At 135 im going with duran.

    Duran UD or late KO.

    Right hand KTFO counter+better skill all around=win.

    Duran might have some issues with his speed here and there but I think he'd do work overall. Duran is like Morales's daddy.

    WTF are you talking about? Why is this even **** becoming a regular term. Its idiotic. WHo ****ing cares about the event, we watch them fight. The man who wins the fight deserves recognition.

    I voted without reading.

    At LW, Duran beats anyone in boxing history.

    At WW, it's a toss-up. Above that, I'd go with Pacman, who kept his explosive power even at SWW.

    Pacquiao has not shown to have any inside game at all. He's not going to elude Duran efficiently enough. He is going to get hit, and he's going to get hurt.

    The Duran that fought SRL takes a decision or a TKO on cuts in my opinion. Great fight though, Pacquiao's angles would cause him problems. Just not enough.

    How is he gonna outbox Duran when the bigger,stronger,slicker and yes faster Leonard couldnt?.... Think this would be an awesome fight and would be a real back and forth when brawling , but Duran is too slick for Pac and if anyone is getting outboxed here its Pac.. This would be a close fight for the first eight rounds then Duran starts disecting Pac making him miss and put a slow beat down on him... In FOTY type fight Duran stops Pac in 11.
