    Most likely, since he'd just be a combination of sharpness and too relentless for Pacman...

    I definitely agree

    But then Duran is a Top 10 ATG, no shame in that, Duran would destroy a lot of people

    Roach is a pretty honest guy sometimes he almost seems too humble sometimes when he talks about Pac.

    Roach is a cool dude. Duran at lightweight is just a ridiculous match up for anyone. No shame in that.

    If that was Floyd Sr, he'd say Floyd Jr would box Duran's ears off. 120-108.

    Good for Roach. I was beggining to think that he was just as looney as the rest of these *******s who think that Pac could beat everyone from Duran to Godzilla. Good to know he still has his head screwed on right.

    Duran at lightweight is an unstoppable machine, so there's no shame in that.

    Roach also realizes that Pac is always beaten in a mythical match-up.
    I too agree w/ him that Pac will lose this mythical match-up.

    Duran was the greatest lightweight of all time.

    At least he told the truth and didn't just pick Pacquaio, much respect to him for that. It would be a great fight, but Duran was way too big, too skilled, too physical, too anything for Pacquaio. He would stop him.

    "At least he told the truth and didn't just pick Pacquaio, much respect to him for that. It would be a great fight, but Duran was way too big, too skilled, too physical, too anything for Pacquaio. He would stop him."

    We always say this. But this is an extremely live fight. One of the top 5 best fighters against one of the top 20. "He would stop him" isn't a call I could possibly make.
