    Pacman has now come into his own now at the "heavier weights".

    What would have happened if he had duked it out with
    Roberto Duran at 135 lbs?

    Duran by slaughter...
    He wrote the book on moving up weight.
    [At 135 he's the MAN!..]

    At first I thought this thread was one of those general boxing pac haters spreading their propaganda into the classic section, but it sounds like a legitimate thread.

    But yeah...Duran by TKO

    Duran would win easier than many would expect, although it would be an awesome fight, while it lasted.

    It would be a one-sided beatdown with Pacquiao's style playing directly into the far more skilled Duran's hands.

    I think Manny might literally die in this fight.

    I like Pacquiao WAY too much to actually explain in details the manslaughter that would happen to him in this fight.

    Duran being the more skilled complete fighters wins a 10-5 type decision with Pacquaio having his moments, you don't walk through a Pacquaio who has blistering 1-2s, fast feet and hands and fast counters when he was caught, and as for the size a 130lb Pacquaio with a day before weigh in weighed 144lbs, making size irrelevant
