    Who can you think of in the 140lbs division or there abouts that could give Pacquiao a tough fight right now ?

    Base opinions on skill level not by their level of hype or fame or fight record because we all know that records dont win fights its skill that wins fights.

    Who wins and why ?

    Other than JMM nobody at 140 can beat Pac.

    I like Bradley.
    Not saying he beats Pac, Just yet.
    But his conditioning is top's & he has some pop as well.

    Campbell is good aswell, But I think his best days are behind him.

    Pac beats all in my opinion, only one with a chance to give Pac a decent fight but still lose is Bradley and maybe Campbell.

    I think Campbell is past his best,he would trouble Pac early on with his style but Pac´s speed and relentless pressure would be too much for him in the end ,i see Pac stopping him around the eight round.

    Aside from JMM, Bradley has the best chance. Campbell has 0 chance, he cant outbox Pac and he wont outslug him. This isn't featherfisted Diaz here....if Peden can KO Nate, Pac will destroy him. Think also that reflexes are the first thing to go with age..and Nate would be dealing with the one of the fastest fighter in the sport.

    I find it funny that people suggest Nate Campbell as a viable opponent...they call MAB/Morales old and past it, they were 29, Nate Campbell is 37...you can thin what would be the first excuse when Pac makes this fight looks as easy as he sometimes does. Pac cant be that good so nate must be just that past it. lol.

    I know he wouldn't beat Pac but Ortiz might be able to hold his own

    If Pac beats Cotto and a fight with mosley or mayweather falls through I can see pac fighting the winner of bradley vs campbell, sounds like wishful thinking but those fights can definitely end up not happening especially with mayweather but the way boxing works I would suggest that if that fight didn't happen it might hurt boxing.

    I think so,Nate is a crafty guy with a good defense but there are alot of times when he has some concentration lapses and against a big puncher that never stops throwing punches it would be his downfall,and Nate has been dropped and stopped by lesser punchers than Pac.
