    Well Pacquiao was knocked out at 147 pounds after many wars. AT 126 and 130 Pacquiao ate Marquez's power very easily.

    The 147 pounds gave Marquez the opportunity to roid up and increase his power.

    Pacquiao's chin at 135 is much better than his chin at 147.

    Duran has better defense. Sure. But Pacquiao will not be afraid to go toe to toe. Anything can happen if Duran decides to go toe to toe with Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao loves it when you bring the fight to him. So does Duran.

    Yes but Mosley doesn't present any angles. He has no jab and more or less is just there right in front of you going toe to toe.

    Pac is there, then gone and then launches a bomb outbox nowhere.

    Pac isn't beating Duran so calm down. He'd be very fortunate to last the fight on his feet.

    They both might love it but unfortunately for Pac Duran's better at it. Slipping punches when you'Rd fighting in the inside is a huge deal as is being able to roll with punches and throw feints.

    Very reasonable reply. I still don't like Pacquiao's chances at all against a prime Duran though. He made too many mistakes, left himself too wide open, and was still largely a one-trick pony/one-punch fighter at 135.

    So you have wriggled like a worm yet again. A bit like your inbred moronic claim that EVERYONE is a racist, isn't it? First you spew out DURAN had trouble with fast fighters, now it's EVERYONE.

    If you were half as clever as you think you are, you'd be twice as clever as you actually are.
