    Is this prime Duran you're talking about, or some sort of faded version of Duran that you're matching against Pacquiao?

    Humble as Pacquiao is, he would just smile at Duran and would even affirm what Duran said. At the end of the day, it's still the people who will determine who really is better. They know. :yep

    Pacquiao at welterweight beating the Duran that fought Leonard is about as possible as Superman sleepingon a kryptonite bed.

    I always see pacquiao a bit similair to duran in that they both fought bigger guys as smaller opposition and did it well.
    Personality wise duran is often portayed as a violent maniac and warrior in the ring, while pac is more this humble smiling warrior in the ring type, kind of the opposite there.

    You must be talking about the Duran who fought Vinnie Pazienza.

    Actually,Duran started at 119 pounds and even had a terrific ko victory at 130 against Ernesto Marcel when Duran was quite green.

    I think you cant have the same image of a boxer when you lived and watched him in a era compared to people who are born later and rewatch fights.

    Funny comments from Duran.

    I agree though about Mayweather being a difficult match-up for him.

    True.But when they're typing how slow he was,they obviously didn't see the prime version.

    the old one talking in the video. But even a prime Duran would probably lose to Pacman if Pacman used his speed and gave Duran angles.
