    WW is a tough pick for me to Thread a WW Duran vs a WW Manny..But im undecided as to what would happen to Pac fighting Duran at LW or Jr WW..I,m afraid it would be too one sided...My personal prediction for this fight....

    Duran by KO between the 6th and 8th rounds, and I believe it would have been a brutal KO!:smoke

    I agree, but somehow I believe Duran gets to him a little earlier than that.

    And Duran's power was underated at WW..Even though his WW debut against Palomino he proves the power is there..

    Pacman gets fed to Jaws against the Duran who hammered Palomino in New York and took Leonard's crown in Canada...

    Why such a high weight? Both men were better at lower weights. Duran by TKO, in any case. Would be a hard, difficult fight, though.

    No, not really. He'd make it fun though, and if he's getting stopped at all, it would be late in the fight.

    I do. I think Duran would knock him out at any weight they fought at.

    knock out is hard to say. he wins, no doubt. he doesn't make it close if at his best, no doubt. but manny is a tough little ******* and i could see him make the final bell
