    noooo.

    Duran has its own styles (but Pacquiao said he's a great fan of Duran)

    Hawkie has better power than pacquiao in 140+

    Pacquiao has footwork that never has been seen on any other fighter, active or retired.

    Manny has poor footwork bro. You aren't supposed to stutter step like he does all over the place. Not to mention how he crosses his feet. :patsch

    Its a shame we have so called *******s and *****s on this site and boxing in general. Both looking to diminish each others achievements.

    The fact is that they are both the two greatest fights I have seen in my era and unfortunately circumstances stopped a huge fight from happening. When they are gone then people will realise their greatness

    it wont work with regular fighters fosho. as ive said youve never seen that weird kind of footwork but it worked effectively against elite opposition from 112 to 150.

    Only JMM has been able to take advantage of Pac's 'poor' footwork, and he didn't do it effectively until the 3rd fight. Tells you something, doesn't it? Experience counts.

    Pac vs Duran would've been a great fight, but I don't see how they're similar though. One is a southpaw and other is not. Duran may be greater than Pac, but I don't believe he is that much better. Pac would have given Duran hell if he decides to come forward, and knowing Duran, he probably will.

    Pac is one of the greatest fighters of our generation. Let's just leave it at that.

    nope. completely differant fighters.

    comparing there careers Manny's weight rise was more impressive. But Duran at his prime at lightweight would beat Manny at Lightweight.

    People honestly forget Manny started at 108

    He's got extraordinary footwork but let's not get carried away here...Camacho Sr. at 130, Young Pep, SRL and young Ali had comparable footwork.
