    Duran beats anyone, anytime, anyplace at LW.

    Pac would be KO'd by round 6.

    Not even an arguement, really.

    I like Duran at both weights, by either UD or late TKO.

    It boils down to Pacquaio's defense isn't good enough to trade with Duran, Duran times and lands on Pacquaio at will and see's allot of Pacquaio's punches coming

    The main problem I see for Pac's sake, is that he still has a tendency to be too open when attacking, sometimes off balance, and someone with Duran's skill and savvy will punish such flaws severly.

    It's odd. He's on two interviews though, and there about a year old, picking Duran point blank.

    Who knows. I don't place much credence in trainers doubling as historians or p4p analysts but it was interesting that he would go with Duran.
