    Pacquiao has also never beat someone the size and quality of Iran Barkley either. In order to do something SIMILAR to what Duran did above 135 he would have to face Floyd Mayweather junior, Paul Williams, and Miguel Cotto.

    Al is known for being a mexican huthugger and that maybe the reason why he is close to calling pac a god

    It's inevitable that he does that. But he beat a former junior middleweight champ dela Hoya, a HOF candidate, right?

    prime for prime Pac would have a chance, but Mayweather in his prime was so skilled, so fast, so slick. Watch his fight against Tony Pep. Pac cannot beat the Mayweather that beat Genaro Hernandez, no way.

    on the contrary, floyd engages more when he was at the lower weights so that style would be more fit for someone like pac. don't get me wrong, floyd was a beast at 130 but to say pac has no chance against floyd is just totally wrong. pac has been underrated before and no way should he be underrated anymore.

    Mayweather back in 130 was at his physically peak, he was more offensive, and faster. It wasn't until he fractured his hands against Carlos Hernandez that he became more defensive. I still think Mayweather struggled against JLC because he fractured his hand in the first meeting.

    Mayweather with no phsyical injures<<<<<<Pacquiao.
