    The Pacquiao at WW makes a valiant effort against Duran but ends up getting outclassed by Duran.
    Not sure why people would think Pac would get KO'd. He was only KO'd early in his career and has since had a rep as being iron chinned and incredibly tough. Duran decisions Pac. Would be a great fight though.

    You seem to underrate Pacquiao's chin and toughness or overrate Duran's power. If Carlos Palomino could last the distance against Duran why not Manny?

    10-rounder.

    You'll rarely see a top level fighter looking so utterly discombulated by what Duran was doing to him with his range of feints and absolute mastery on the inside. He didn't know how, where, when or what was coming. Kind of like Sugar Ray Leonard a year later.

    Get out. Palomino was bigger and had an iron chin. What a terrible example to pick out to make your point.
