    Pacman would always have a chance to beat Duran if he uses speed, but if he trades with him that would not be good. If he boxes and uses his jab he would beat Duran from 135 -147. Remember, Duran never fought a guy as good as Manny at 135 pounds.

    Motivated Duran beats him badly I believe. If Duran doesn't take the fight seriously I could see Pac making it pretty close on points because of his speed

    I would buy the fight for $200 on PPV without thinking twice and love every second of however long it lasts. Manny vs Aaron Pryor at 140 would be a fun one to see as well.

    Duran would **** him up, one of the greatest right crosses of the division, incredible body attack and swarming, he has a style advantage AND his greatest strengths are Pacquiao's greatest weaknesses.

    Pac.

    Both's styles are tailored made for the other but Pac comes out on top.

    Duran beat a bigger, stronger, and faster fighter in SRL, and people here are saying Pacquiao would not only beat but stop a prime Duran? :rofl

    Duran by late stoppage.

    Pac's speed is his main weapon, Prime Duran beat SRL so he isn't that troubled by pac's speed. Competitive fight but Duran stops pac late, if margs was hurting pac with body shots, Duran (who can really bang and cuts the ring off way better) would really **** him up imho
