But on the higher divisions.... he would have said: NO MAS! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrG06zQFlGI&feature=channel_video_title[/ame] Actually I disagree, at lightweight and lower weights any fighter Pacquiao hits goes down, and down hard. :good How about this??? Remember the character SON-GOKU in Dragon Ball Z? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRmdNUWe0mM[/ame]
You honestly believe that? Manny hit David Diaz more times that Ike hit Tina in their long stormy relationship and it took him a good while to stop the guy out. Duran mauls that ass forcing the stoppage before the 10th.
Duran was a great fighter. He just did not know how to fight a slick black fighter and ****kin quit! Fact. Now you guys may laugh all you want if I say Floyd schools Duran if ever they met, but all indications point to that fact. I'll be honest, Manny vs Duran is a toss-up, but that left-jumper of Manny is a game-changer and he doesn't seem to quit either. Floyd owns both. Fact. :good
Other than when he mauled the **** out of Ray Leonard in Montrael and he (past prime fighting at 160) gave Marvin Hagler fits. Two of the greatest black American fighters of recent decades. All the fat from those Marshmellows are squashing your brain.
Duran would have beat Manny at any weight be it LW,WW or JM(depending on which Duran showed up) an ill prepared Duran gets outspeed on JM... But at WW he was still lightning quick and would have beat Manny in any type of fight wheter boxing or slugging.. At LW Manny dont stand much of a chance.... You say manny knocks out any one he hits at LW Ok thats why he landed everything but the kitchen sink on catcher David Diaz but it took 8 rounds of punishment to finish him? Duran had an iron chin only Hearns a huge JM and one of the greatest punchers in history could put Duran out.... He took huge Barkleys best shots along with Hagler,Cuevas,Moore,Palomino like nothing but he gets kod by Manny? You got Jokes today dont you? Oh and i forgot Leonards too who hit at least as hard as Manny.
At his best he beat a prime Leonard and not at a catchweight.... Also gave Hagler all he wanted do you think Pac could do that? Pac cant even handle Martinez much less a killer like the legendary Marvin Hagler. Do you really believe Pac could have beat SRL?
Pac is a natural 140, Martinez is 160, wow some standard you are looking for, but sure I won't be surprised if they accept his challenge at 154. SRL has footwork, (seriously, I watched all his fights) but when he gets hit it hits him not only physically but psychologically as well. The Benitez tiff was a boxing speedy match-up. No Pacquiao fights ever end up like that, especially when he starts connecting with his left. Add to that the much improved Pacquiao. This coming from a Leonard fan.
