    Ricky and Margo were the last two guys to really pressure Pac and they paid for it with their careers (KTFO2 and shattered orbital bone). Even Nacho begged Marquez, who is a lethal puncher himself, to avoid prolonged exchanges wth Pac. Rios tried, but couldn't pin down the slippery senator to do any significant work. Vargas vowed to go to war, but then opted to box and got outboxed handily.

    So who can walk Pac down, trade with him, and beat him? I'm talking about current old, semi-shot, chin-cracked Manny.

    The KD and KO weren't during exchanges. Marquez didn't pressure Pac and beat the crap out of him.

    None of those fighters are walk you down pressure fighters that will beat you down in a war. The closest one to a walk you down, trade punches with you guy is Garcia, and I dont think he could do it.

    So, none. I think many of them can beat up Pac, drop him and possibly stop him.... but it would be similar to the Marquez fights.

    Brook is the only one on that list who stops him, Crawford and Loma beat him though too

    None. All will try to counter punch him. Pac floors all of them if they got to brave.

    5. Mikey Garcia

    All of these guys should be able to at this point. Terence is probably least likely, he seems a little chinny. But he's capable of KO'ing Pacquiao. I firmly believe that. Keith can too but I'd place him at #4 out my list. #1 Kell, #2 Danny, #3 Mikey.

    Fact is, all of these guys can crack and have enough power to stop Manny at this stage. The question is whether or not they can in a real fight. Can they time Pac in between exchanges? I think all of them are most likely to beat Pac at this stage. There's a reason why he fought Vargas and now Horn.

    Vargas was a belt holder, in house, and Mexican. Vargas should have a KO win over Bradley and he brutalized Sadam Ali. Vargas is a dangerous puncher (he's really developed that right hand) and is capable of KOing any welterweight. Now Pac is a beltholder.

    Horn is just promotional thing (a joke fight) to bring big exposure to an untapped market (Australia).

    He caught Bradley and Ali, dangerous puncher but he's not elite, nothing major. He's OK. Don't make him more than he is. And I get the purpose of the Horn fight, still a **** fight, maybe Australians will enjoy it...

    He is not the volume TKO machine he was and is less likely to go to war now but he still possess enough pop to keep people honest. Spence has the tools to do it, Thurman has the punch as well

    That's the thing, though. He's the smallest fighter from 140-147. Even some 130 and 135 pounders are bigger than him on fight night. He's also old, semi-shot, and fighting with a cracked chin. Yet no one is actually willing to walk him down and go through hell to KO him.

    Many on that list beat pac and most by KO, and those are guaranteed.

    The real question is, who on that list could paq have a chance at beating?

    Broner, Thurman, Loma (atm) Mikey and possibly dsg.

    Those are the fighters paq could compete with, the rest annihilate him.

    Even those 5 listed above , not sure he wins more than he loses
