Duran vs pacman at welterweight

Why are these threads being made?

 

I think the fight would be a lot better at light weight or jr. welter. I would say Pacman has a chance here, as he hits harder than Duran does, and favors an opponent who likes to move forward and trade.

 

I think Duran's power is underrated, he was not simply an accumulation hitter, though that description is more apt than big hitter if we are being strict, he could produce clean kos even if soetimes a little softening up helped his cause on the way.

He can hurt men

 

I love Pacquiao. But we're talking about Duran here.

Duran at any weight and in what ever round he choses.

 

Pac would suffer like Davey Moore.

 

At Welterweight I think Duran coould give Pacquiao some problems....but I still see the pacman's speed giving him problems two....but at the weight Duran might be to strong and end up KOing the pacman.

 

Have you even seen Duran's speed at WW? :huh

 

Quite a way to predict an outcome on one fight from his 119 fought.

Duran would be too smart for Pac. His footwork alone would send Pac's head in a spin and that's before he's even felt one of those wrecking balls connect.

 

he was best at lightweight, but I have seen many of his fights...Pacquiao is much faster IMO.

 

hands of stone YES....Pacquiao was faster from what I have seen...and Duran gets frustrated by speed....so I don't think it is as easy as people are making it out to be for Duran...I thinks he wins...but the pacman gives him some problems before he ends up winning

 

Duran was only frustrated against fighters he couldnt catch. Pacquiao, for all his strengths, is hittable. Duran wouldnt have any problem catching Pac and finishing him off. I know this is all arbitrary but I think this fight is a head to head nightmare for Pac.

 

Pacquaio would be competitive with Duran and would probably last until the middle rounds.

 

are you serious???
cant believe the hype my god

 

I agree.

BoxingGirl, I highly recommend that you watch the first fight between Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard. Sugay Ray was one of the fastest fighters of all time, and he hit MUCH harder than Pacquiao. But Duran didn't have any problems avoiding many of his punches. He was a boxing master, the complete package.

For that reason, I feel that Duran would definitely KO Pacquaio.

 

Robbi, how do you think Pacquiao would do against Duran at lightweight?
