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

He’d have a decent chance against Duran.

 

It's not nostalgia. It's having a clear memory. Duran mullered Iran Barkley when he was ancient and allegedly shot.

 

That wasn't prime Pacquiao, he hadn't developed his right hand yet, he was still very much a one handed fighter at that point.

 

Erik Morales says hello.

 

Canelo went toe to toe with GGG there is no way Manny could have done that, Hagler took Tommy`s best shots and therre`s no way Manny could have done that either, Hagler`s reach and jabs would be far too long and educated for Manny, he would never have taken a fight against Canelo or Hagler at 160, I suppose you think he could knock out a light heavy like Kovalev too or beat Canelo at super middle where he also scored a KO, Manny`s just far too small for these guys.

 

Jones never beat anyone even near Hagler`s level but would have knocked Manny out in 2 rounds. Hearns peak weight was welter where he was a monster he was also unbeatable at 154 even though he only had two fightas at that weight, his wins over Duran and Benitez were his best performances, Jones and Hopkins never beat fighters even near the level of a peak Benitez.

 

The Fab Four have never faced anyone with a commination of Pac's speed, power, and angles. That said, their size would contribute to their success.

Pac beats Duran and loses to the other three.

But just the fact that people would even pit a former flyweight and the smallest welterweight in history against the Fab Four says Manny is the GOAT.

 

Lol. Imagine thinking Pacquiao beats Duran.

 

Not only can I imagine it, it's well within the realm of possibility. Duran can't beat Pacquiao at range and Pacquiao is one of the hardest fighters to pin down, so Duran's infighting strengths are largely nullified. Those who do manage to pin Pacquiao against the ropes take heavy damage.

 

So two Mexican brawlers with a chin and one of them was washed up, beat him and knocked him out cold but Duran is gonna take a loss......Arum/Roach would never ever take the fight unless Duran is 45 years old........

One more time, 118-110 against a old Mayweather........Mayweather had tougher sparring then that...end of.

 

Lol, the best Duran pinned down a prime SRL. He'd corner Pacquiao repeatedly, and would bull Pacquiao around easily. Especially at LW. Duran bulled Carlos Palomino and Iran Barkley around, he'd physically or technically pin Pacquiao down.

Nobody shut down a prime Durán's infighting game. No one. Master boxers like Buchanan, Leonard, Marcel and Bizzarro tried, all failed.

Duran could get inside against anyone, bar Tommy Hearns.

Duran couldn't beat Pacquiao at range? Have you seen the thrid DeJesus fight? He'd outbox Pacquiao. Clearly. If he chose to.

 

Manny never faced a fighter with Duran`s combined aspects of power, speed and angles neither, Hearns was bette with his angles, speed and power when he faced Leonard and was fast and powerful when Marvin beat him too, any of these four would easily be the toughest opponent Manny would have faced P4P by some stretch aside from Floyd.

 

Manny was easier to hit than Duran and never faced a counter/pressure fighter as good as Roberto either.

 

Yawn. And Pacquiao never quit.
