    I don't agree that Duran was strictly a power puncher, and despite the fact that he could box, he was at his best when he brawled.

    And Benitez did handle Duran EASY.

        Those comments are surprising. Duran was a very well rounded fighter and calling him "just a power puncher" is highly inaccurate. When Duran moved up in weight well past his prime he certainly wasn't relying or winning with "power." Stewart must have forgotten Duran's impressive fights with Hagler and Iran Barkley.

          Very true. Or a Wilfred Benitez either. The styles of the fighters Pacquiao has been fighting lately are very much hand picked. So I don't agree with that either.

            Absolutely wrong. Duran was one of, if not the, smartest pressure boxers ever. He could easily cut off the ring on boxers who tried to stick and move, and knew how to trick them into his type of fight.
