    i can easily say prime Pacquiao was arguably the best fighter who ever lived. I dont think anyone beats prime Pacquiao. So acting like Pacquiao would stand no chance against Duran is just stupid, Duran literally never beat anyone at LW who was even close to the level of a prime Manny Pacquiao.

    Loma at 126
    Pac at 130
    Pac at 135

    Pac any weight higher than that..................

    Pac at the higher weights became more complete, Loma would pick off raw Pac though

    No, you can't easily say that. Not when his only win at 135 was David Diaz.

    yes i can easily say that, and Diaz being Pacquiao's only win at LW is irrelevant, Pacquiao beat numerous atg at higher weights than LW and those higher weight classes were not exactly better suited to Pacquiao. We can only imagine the devastation Pacquaio would have administered at LW had he decided to stay there.

    Way back when, Pacman. Pac's peak was one of the scariest fighters we have ever seen. But now, Loma rolls him.

    If ancient Pacquiao can drop down to 135, he has a good chance against Lomachenko. It would be one of the greatest wins in history
