    It's possible. Pac would stand no chance against Golovkin, but against a weaker beltholder like Saunders does he have a chance? Would have been nice to see him try for a 9th world title.

    How much does Saunders rehydrate to?

    I think 09 Pac would've stopped Saunders, that pac was incredible look what he did to cotto, thats why floyd ducked him back then.

    Pac would stand no chance against any MW in the top 10.

    Pac was too small. He never fought at 154 and never fought a legit match above 147. BJS would likely have stopped him early and more brutally than JMM4.

    How was Pac-Bradley not a legit match at 147?

    A legit 160lb boxer in Eubank Jr couldn't stop BJS. I'm a Pacman fan but this thread is a bit silly. Eubank Jr knocks Pacman out in rd 1 aswel.

    You laughed when they asked about Hatton too. He almost died.

    I didn't laugh about Hatton and he wasn't a legit 160 pounder. If he was I would have laughed.

    Too small... BJS has power, not devastating power but he is a MW... I think he would KO Pacman

    Pac vs Bradley at 147 has nothing to do with what I said. I think you misread what I wrote

    Would like to see Pac tested and prove his doubters wrong again and again, but no.... just no. This will be way too much for any version of Pac.

    You said Pacquiao never fought a legit match at 147 or higher. How is Bradley not a legit Welterweight?
