    Hell no. Duran beat Leonard for crying out loud. Pacquiao won't even beat Mayweather. Duran was the more skilled fighter, Duran would beat Pacquiao head to head, and Duran has the better wins on his resume. If Pac beats Mayweather, it could happen. However, he's going to lose to Floyd.

    If he beats Mayweather we've all got some serious thinking to do.

    Manny would have to fight a little longer than he plans to surpass Duran. Personally, I think he's almost there. 7 time champ in 7 divisions. 4 lineals. Titles in

    I voted no based upn the fact I expect Floyd to beat him should they fight.

    How do you see the fight going McGrain?

    Do you see Pacquiao having a big chance? Or will Floyd just be too elusive and just too defensively good for him and will most likely potshot his way to a wide UD? Does Mayweather have the power to keep Pacquiao off him for 12 rounds?
