    Man, I've always loved Ike, and he was a fantastic counterpuncher. But still, can he withstand the speed and fury of Pacman's left-handed attack? :think

    Ike Williams, and although competitive, for me it isn't close.

    Williams is great one of my fave's but I dont know if he can deal with Pac's speed & angles.
    I think Pac gets a bit under respected on this forum.

    Pac will give a good account of himself but I don't see how he will overcome Ike.

    No ****, it should be obvious, that this Pacman is the serious deal.

    Pac is the real deal, no doubt about it. But matchups don't come much worse for him IMO. I'd pick Ike to blast a charging Pacquiao out of there by the mid rounds.

    I would like to note, though, that 140 is not Pac's best weight. Furthermore, while he has two brilliant victories around the weight (Hoya&Hatton) Manny did not have to absorb much in both matches.

    The jury should still be out on Pac's punch resistance and ability to absorb/survive a war at 140 and over. Even in the Hatton fight, I felt like Pac was frail, somehow, if that makes sense.

    I can't give him the nod over Ike Williams. Actually, I wouldn't give him the nod over any top fighter in his prime at 140. When in with the elite of the elite, the smallest cracks are laid bare, and Pac is still a bit small at the weight.

    Wiliams on points. However what about Pacman versus Ike Williams.
