    Bud is a better welter than Manny was. Hearns would destroy Manny for the same reason he destroyed Duran, reach and power.

    Okay...

    Edit: actually thinking about it, I'd favour each one of fab 4 over Manny at their own weights

    Leonard might not have punched harder than Bud and he used to get hit more.

    Do they even fight each other in today’s era?

    Christ! I know you love the fella but he loses to all 4.

    Best fight is a UD loss in a war with Duran at 135.

    Leonard via wide UD. Hearns KOs him

    And he never fights Hagler

    The Pac that ran through DLH/Hatton/Cotto would do the same to Crawford.

    But doesn't beat all of Pacquiao's best wins above 140, he loses to Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, Floyd and there's no way he beats Algeri 120-102

    Did you watch the Salido fight? Yeah, well imagine a much more relentless, conditioned, harder chin, and vastly higher skilled pressure fighter. Yup, I agree, Duran by UD, KO, TKO, or No mas..

    For once I agree with you.

    I also think Manny beats Ray Robinson, Roy Jones Jr. and John Ruiz.

    The Manny that beat De La Hoya retires Wladamir Klitschko in same fashion.

    Manny Pacquiao vs David Tua would be incredible until Pac lands his straight left and finishes Tua man.

    Duran loses this imo, No mas all over again. He can't cut the ring as he would wish, get's frustrated and loses clearly to the better professional, if not the more natural talent.

    Duran was one of the most naturally talented fighters ever. He grabs someone at 135 they get hurt. Lomachenko doesn't back peddle and slip punches, he fights with calculated offense, like a less ferocious Pacquiao. Duran would have a ball
