No offense, but... Duh! 1) Pac doesn't belong in with welters. He just doesn't. 2) Duran is about twice his size before he starts training, and is on of the hardest hitting lightweights ever who still had quite respectable power at welter.
Why at welter instead of lightweight? Still favours Duran tremendously, but it's a little more fair on Pac.
You just dont stop do you ? Pac wont beat ANY decent 147 fighter. You can quote me on that. That win over a human corpse is void in my eyes and the eyes of millions of others. DLH disgraced himself that night with the worst performance I've seen from a top fighter possibly in all my time watching boxing. You saying Pac would beat these welters with one hand is nothing but PURE BASELESS SPECULATION. You have absolutely nothing to substantiate what you've said there.
regardless of wether 135, 140 or 147 Duran Wins. Pac is a good fighter, but Duran is on a different level.
Imagine a 142 pound Duran against the 145 pound walking corpse De La Hoya? Duran would beat up Oscar the way he brutalized Davy Moore, if not worse.
Pacman is the worst head to head fighter of all-time. He was shite at the lower weights and had crap punch resistance, and at the higher weights he's far too small. Duran inside 4 rounds.
His ungodly power at almost every weight he fought at is a huge equalizer for a so-so chin. You're hell bent with an agenda here though, so I don't know why I'm bothering. Pacquaio didn't accomplish what he did at the lower weights, most of the time being near deathly weight drained and fresh off the streets by being the worst H2H fighter of all time.
on the classic Forum, Pac gets called the "worst head to head fighter of all-time" its one of the reasons that although i read alot of the posts here for the interesting information, i keep from discussions cause the views are very skewed.
Look, Pacquiao is great. But just because he has beaten a washed up O DLH or Ricky Hatton, who is also probably past his best, does not mean that he is going to beat 'the DURAN'.
