Wow!!
These four in a Lightweight tournament
Duran, Armstrong, Chavez and Pacquiao
Re: Duran, Armstrong, Chavez and Pacquiao
Pacquiao would lose more often than not to the other three. Armstrong would just plain outwork the others most of the time.
Duran and Chavez are pick ems. Duran's physique allowed him to carry extra weight alot more comfortably than Chavez, so this allowed him to compete more successfully in higher weight classes. The fact that he was able to put on impressive performances against the likes of Leonard, Hagler and Barkley contribute more to his high p4p rankings than his impressive career as a lightweight.
That being said, i think at lightweight Chavez would have been his match. And maybe more.
