    I think pac beats them all to be completely honest.

    Brown and griffith giving him the most trouble imo but I think he's too relentless and would overcome their styles eventually.

    It would take someone special to beat ww pac imo. By special I mean someone with exceptional timing, greater speed, 1 shot power or someone who can utilise their physical strength.

    I'll consider the griffith pick in more detail at a later date but for now i'm saying pac makes a clean sweep over the names listed.

    Cuevas is a desperately dangerous fight & along with McGirt. 2 opposing styles but both would pose there own brand of problems for pac IMHO.

    He beats all of them but Griffith. McGirt gives him the most trouble otherwise.

    Some tough calls. These are the kinds of guys Pacquiao should be matched up against at Welter in an all time sense, though. Not Hearns, Leonard, Napoles, etc.

    I think Griffith beats the **** out of him, who's p4p a better fighter as well imo. someone like Brown might crack his jaw. McGirt fight is a tough call. he beats the rest.

    Pac isn't a true welter.

    The big & strong welters beat him.

    Cuevas' left hook, the true nemesis of southpaws, knocks him cold in 4 rounds or less.

    Unanimous, and by a fairly wide margin.

    Simon Brown might be too strong for him, but I don't know if he can match the workrate. That would be interesting.

    Pipino hit hard enough to beat anybody, but it's a longshot.

    Pac beats the rest.

    On that list Griffith is the only one who beats Pac.

    I agree, Red !
    And McGirt beats him by close decision, in my opinion....

    Griff was a real mechanic Vic...he wouldn't set the house on fire with Pac, but he'd beat him for sure. Griffith remains soooo underrated.

    Definitely not the other two, either. If anything they'd be even worse matchups for him.
