Poll: Pacman vs Duran 147lbs ?

He took alot of bombs from Hearns bfore the KO, the mans phenomenal no doubt..But that last right, geez a HW would have gone down from that. I just dont want to underrate or overrate a fighter..because Im old enough to see both fighters and what theyre capable of in the ring, theyve won in every which way possible and have beaten everytype of fighters. At thsi level, styles doesnt make fights as much as who wants it more.

I mean if someone tells you that Armstrong would steamroll Duran, you would respectfully say hold on there man...

 

Duran had his problems with certain fighters at LW and got beat by DeJesus. Who did Palomino beat that's as good as Mosely? Manny's quicker than Duran, hits just as hard imho, if not harder, and is more accurate. Duran has a little better defense and is naturally bigger. I'm taking Manny.

 

pacquiao is too quick for a 147 duran

 

Yep, and James Jeffries probably gets the nod over Tyson on the classic forum.

I'm not a Palomino expert. I look at his record on boxrec and I don't see anything particularly outstanding about him. I have a couple fights where he was the opponent in my career sets and he doesn't look all that outstanding. Good, yes. Great? No. He doesn't look as good to me as the Cotto who beat Judah and I don't see anyone on his resume as good as Mosely. Why is Duran's victory over Palomino given all this play and Pac's over Cotto gets almost no credit from Durantards?

Would Palomino beat Mosely? Would he beat Clottey? Would he beat Cotto?

 

Duran TKO

 

Yup, Ray Leonard was way to quick also, as evidenced by the fight in Montreal.

 

Pacquiao brings nothing to the table that Duran cannot counteract. Whereas some overrate the man on the Classic Forium, he seems to be horribly underrated here. Pacquiao ain't got a chance in hell in knocking out Duran, Barkley couldn't do it, Hagler couldn't do it, it took a phenom in 6'1 Thomas Hearns to pull it off, one of the hardest hitters P4P of all time. Pacquiao doesn't quite measure up.

 

with roach in his corner, pac will make duran quit.

roach will make sure a juicy steak finds its way into duran's hotel room.

 

As much as it pains me to say because I've always been a huge fan of duran. I think with pacquiao ability to take a real good punch from a true welterweight. Pacquiao spped and angles would disrupt the onslaught of manos de piedra an he would eventually stop him for this same reason.

 

If Cotto busted Pacs eardrum, I shutter to think what Duran would do if Pac left himself exposed like that. If Pac performs well against Mayweather, I'll revise.
