    Could Pac even reach Valuev's head? I don't think Pac can stop him with a body shot, in fact it might tickle him instead. I think people underestimate the difference size makes in skilled boxers, a David Haye punch is 20 times as powerful as a Pac punch. Valuev wouldn't have to worry about anything, Pac might get knocked out by a blocked arm punch from Valuev.

    Ruiz would eat Pac alive. No doubt about it. Think about the difference in reach and try to picture Pacquiao trying to hit Ruiz over and over without getting it in return... for 12 rounds. I know Ruiz was a boring and unskilled HW "champion", but he knew his way around a ring. He'd just have to chase Pacquiao and hit him coming in. With the difference in height and reach, Ruiz would have the time to throw 2 jabs until Pacquiao is able to land one of his. An HW jab would put Pacquiao on his ass.

    Weight classes aren't just for hight and reach, it is also because of the punishment a human body can absorb. A heavyweight power punch to a WW chest could possibly crush a sternum and kill the man.

    I think if you made the heavyweight take more stringent tests and wear the wrong socks. That's a sure way to lose in Pac fantasy land.

    You couldn't be more wrong! Pacquiao is just wild, he looks great against a certain kind of opponent, but as JMM and Mosley showed, Pac is not a great technical fighter. Go watch Klitschko-Haye and tell me Pac has better defence and footwork than Haye. Technically, Haye has never been exposed the way JMM exposed Pac 3 times. Also, remember that Haye has been fighting guys who outweigh him by 2 stone (20-25 pounds)

    Any heavy weight destroys Pac (and anyone around Pacs weight classes)

    They are professional boxers, not lumbering cavemen

    Couldn't see him beating the most worthless heavyweight out there. He could die trying the way he fights....

    Pac is a real puncher. Most of ya'll pussies don't know what a real puncher is cuz ya'll hit like a *****.

    So of course he can **** up someone bigger.

    Ya'll pussies think that size is the determining factor in punching power, when in reality it's a tallent you're born with.

    Pacquaio was born with REAL punching power, something most of ya'll pussies can't understand cuz ya'll hit like little girls.

    So you understand that Pac could **** up one of these pretenders that doesn't know **** about boxing and can't punch for **** despite being heavy.

    At least people aren't entertaining this ****ing ridiculous notion like in the "could Mayweather beat a Heavyweight" thread.

    Mayweather could beat heavies too in the boxing ring. He doesn't have real punching power like Pacquaio, but he has accuracy, speed, and movement that could lead him to a win. Guys with speed can't lay a hand on Mayweather, why would some piece of **** heavy that doesn't know **** about boxing be able to?
