    This is why Manny Pacquiao is the GOAT. People legit pit this former flyweight against SRL, Hearns, and Duran in fantasy fights.

    :deal:

    You don't hear people talking about Roman Gonzalez Vs. Ray Leonard.

    :lol:

    I think Pac vs Hearns would be Margarito Cotto 1 minus the wrap scandal. In my mind anyways.

    Hearn's so large it very well could be, though i don't ever see Manny submitting he would rather go all out then nothing.

    Pac wouldn't be that competitive.

    You might have a strong point, he really should have gone down in weight after the first Bradley fight or especially after the 3rd Bradley fight,

    Fighting in a much higher weight class with the majority recognising that Division to be one of the most skilled & stacked & for over a decade, insane.

    How long was that? Not after his War with Cotto? Not even after Margarito was done taking out Manny's prime?, Not even after his knockout loss in 2012? he had to make sure Two years later by ensuring whatever steam Manny had left was taken out of him & finally was fortunate to have fought an old plus Injured Manny while still needing USADA to help him mask & cheat the system,

    Funny story he didn't even allow Manny to take his Vitamins & his water backstage before the fight, talk about ***** & this the guy lame's have raved about even after having everything stacked in his favour isn't enough already.

    Back peddling from the smaller man in the Ring while looking ridiculous, i mean that was the best chance he was ever going to get to Knockout or Hurt Manny & He still couldn't even bust up Manny's face, such an admirable Career i hear from the masses.

    Man please! Marquez put Pac to sleep. Hearns is probably one of the hardest hitters at welter, much harder than Marquez. Pac goes to sleep in the ring and wakes up in the hospital several hours later. Pac has no choice when it comes to submitting.

    You're seriously underrating how hard a chemically-enhanced Marquez was punching. He also dropped Pac before the KO.

    Thurman, Mosley, Broner, Vargas, Cotto, Horn, and Matthysse also landed flush on Pac and weren't able to drop/hurt him.

    And Hearns doesn't have Marquez's timing which is one of the best in history.

    Pac gets put out cold. I know you love him and rightfully so. He was a great fighter, but Hearns is physically too much for him. Hearns used his jab, and length well, hhe was fast and explosive. Oh yeah, he hit hard as hell.

    Hearns has to be favored and rightfully so. But it's no easy night's work. Hearns was chinny and had stamina issues and he'd never seen anyone with Pac's combination of speed, power, and footwork. Hearns by KO, but Pac stopping him wouldn't shock me either.

    Pac stopping Hearns is not out of the question. That I can agree with you on.
