    The Duran im talkng about is the one that beat Leonard in Montreal. I just see Duran handling anything Pac would bring. I think Pac is awesome,but just think hed bite of more than he can chew here. Anyone that thinks Pacs speed would have bothered him,is mistaken big time(other threads thought so:patsch)

    Duran was at the beginning of his higher weight class excursions at 147, Pacquiao is at the end of his (I would certainly think) at 145. Duran is a lot faster than Cotto and has a granite chin. I give very little chance to Pac head to head at lightweight, light welterweight or welterweight.

    Duran is one of the few ATGS I feel would beat Pacquiao.

    Cotto is no Duran with all due respect to Cotto.... Duran by unanimous decision.

    2 years ago I would have said Duran by brutal KO.... Pac has showed me that he is more than I thought he was, but still have to go with Duran by decision.

    Duran was a phenom in his prime. No way Pac can deal with the power. Also Duran was a master defense fighter. I love Pac but the 70's 80's was an era of monsters.

    Yey,but remember Duran could slide punches and counter with 'power shots" better than any fighter in the history of boxing.

    Could Duran somehow avoid pac's straight left?, Can Pac avoid Durans power?
    Nobody really knows. I will lean to Pac, especially if he KO's Mayweather like a girl

    Duran would catch heat from pac,but hed handle it. Could Pac handle Duran's? Bottom line Duran would outgunn Pac toe to toe,and if Pac tried to outbox him he would be outmached there also,but Pac would hold his own in both departments he would just fall a liitle . Duran would get ths by ud 115-113
