    Either weight, doesn't matter. Keep in mind this is taking place long before Duran said "no mas" or got chubby. This is when he was "the beast" of the lighter weight classes. I think this would be a classic "Flintsone" style fight, with both guys meeting in the middle of the ring and clubs in hand. Bell Rings and the mayhem begins. Also, don't forget this fight is scheduled for "15" rounds.

    Who you got? I'll take "Hands of Stone" by late stoppage via viscious bodyshot...

    At 135 Duran would be too good for Pacquiao. His strength and skills would overshadow Pacs speed and combinations.

    I think this could be at anyweight..

    you don't even have to imagine how this fight gets played out.

    the ppv for this would be 4 mil at least.

    Would be epic though Duran would want to keep this close to use his better in fighting skills.

    Pac at 147 has a better chance, he seems stable and strong so i think he would make an improvement

    That said, the Duran from the Leonard fight would tear him up

    130 or 135 pac wont have a chance. Pac who fought hatton and cotto has a better chance. I think pac has a great chance. Better feet, southpaw, he also looks stronger then duran. He's also on roids and on a side meth, enough to make pbf force a osdt on pac. U even have posters saying he's roided up. Thats says a lot about pac.

    This is probably my all-time dream fight. Gotta go with Duran by KO in the late rounds.

    He tore up Leonard..what does that tell you?

    I would like to see the pac from the hatton fight vs any duran.

    you can't get anymore better than that for pac.

    In all fairness, the way Hatton went in there, with no game-plan, I don't think its fair to suggest that Manny looked amazing, I think it was more of Hatton looking **** than anything. Although that left hand that ended it was quite sexual!
