Prime Pac vs Fab four- how many of the four could Pac have beaten?

He always struggled with Marquez.

 

Hearns would have destroyed Manny, his arms were too long and so was his jab, he outboxed Benitez who was far harder to hit than Manny, Duran had better angles than Manny and was a better inside fighter, he was also harder to hit and matched Ray`s hand speed in Montreal. Leonard took Hearns shots in his prime and Tommy hit far harder than Camacho.

 

Pac is not big enough for most of the guys on that list.

Hagler & Hearns tower over him. Leonard is naturally bigger and stronger.

The only guy Pac can have a chance of beating is Duran, but I'd easily favor Duran.

 

You think Manny could match Tommy`s power after he went toe to toe with one of the greatest middles of all time? Duran took a world class middleweights punches when he went toe to toe against Hagler he also took Barkley`s shots, who was a fearsome middleweight, I really couldn`t see Manny doing that at all.

 

The only possibility of a chance might be and I specify “might” be Duran being they are not too far off in size..... Hagler, Hearns, Leonard = no chance

 

Two eachother... Or losses that were close and avenged...

Hearns KO1 Pac
Duran UD12 Pac
Leonard TKO9 Pac
Hagler TKO3 Pac

 

Absolutely no way Pacquiao beats any of the FAB four, he couldn't beat Marquez there and Marquez is no welterweight, he came in well under the weight limit both times he fought Pacquiao there.
I don't rate Pacquiao as even a top 10 Welter all-time, hell he might not even crack the top 20, he just doesn't have the size to beat top tier all-time welters.

 

well, by your title, i am VERY sure that pac would easily knock out john lennon, sir paul mccartney, george harrison, and ringo starr in their prime!
leoneard would be a good fight.
duran, win by k.o.
hearns, win by k.o.
hagler, win by murder

 

If you've ever heard Leonard describe how Duran's punches feel like you would'nt say Pacquiao lasts the distance against him.

There is absolutely no way Pacquiao goes the distance against the motivated, hungry for victory fighter that beat Leonard in Montreal.

 

I have done. But look at Durán's actual record here, he didn't really stop anyone in Pac's league, for either skill or chin. Despite dropping and hurting lots of guys tougher than Pac.

I pick Durán by TKO over 15 (14 to be specific), but over 12 against the Duran from the Palomino/DeJesus 3/Leonard 1 fights to beat Pac up, drop him a few times but it goes the distance.

 

Pacquiao wouldn't even make it to 135 in that era, gets killed by Pryor at 140 and raped at 147

 

Tbh I don't think he beats Arguello, Benitez or Curry

 

Duran's prime ended the night he beat Leonard, never again did he enter a ring in the type of shape he was for that fight.

Past that fight, Duran was very inconsistent in his performances simply because he always ballooned up in weight after every fight and his training camps were more about losing the weight than anything else. So against that Duran, yes, Pacquiao competes and maybe even beats him, just no way against the Duran of Montreal.

How do you think Duran would do against today's fighters with him hiring a strenghth and conditioning coach that would keep tabs on him so that he didn't let himself go and balloon up in weight after fights???
Duran's body always looked soft fighting above the welterweight limit, a strenghth and conditioning coach would have taken care of that.

 

He goes 2-2. Hearns knocks him out, SRL outpoints him. I think he decisions Duran and decisions Hagler.

I actually think Hagler is the easiest fight. Pac has legs and will just dance around him, similar to how a past it SRL did it, a very past it Duran also took about 4-5 rounds off him.
