    Who wins this one, Manny Pacquiao spent half his career at 112lbs before get stopped & jumping to 122 lbs

    Can have Manny Pacquiao give Roman Gonzalez his first loss :think

    This fight 17 yo at Light Flyweight, before Manny Pacquiao bulked up to Flyweight (Flyweight Champion 22 yo)

    Pacquiao was always a physical beast and was big and powerful at the weight, but the technical gulf is too big to ignore. Gonzalez is several notches above Pacquiao in that regard at this weight (at any weight, really, but it's most pronounced with the young, green, albeit hungry and talented Pacquiao). He'd outsharp him, out-time him, and wear him down with body shots and hard power shots. Mid round stoppage for Chocolatito in my estimation.

    Thats a big dome for a 12 lber. It's bigger than the refs!

    In all seriousness, Gonzalez wins. Pacquiao wasn't nearly as much of a complete fighter at 112 as he became later on.

    A 17yr old street urchin boxing to survive vs a 28yr old grown man in his prime... does it take much brains to figure out who would win? Really?

    Inoue. Can match the young Pac for size and speed and is more skilled.
