    Buchanan has a good chance at beating Manny at 135lbs.
    Benitez boxes Manny's head off at 154lbs.
    Sugar Ray Leonard knocks Manny out at 147lbs...both times.
    Marvin Hagler destroys Pacquiao at 160lbs.
    Thomas Hearns does what he did to Duran to Pacquiao at 154lbs.
    Davey Moore has a good chance at beating Manny at 154lbs.
    Iran Barkley knocks out Manny at 160lbs, the size difference is extreme.

    Never said he was an ATG but beating a former lightweight beating a Huge HOF middleweight is a great feat.

    Also Do you think Pac could have fought Hagler on almost even terms?

    if Hagler fought the way he did Duran that night yes and he might have come closer to winning. Pacquioa is fast

    That is almost as stupid of a comment as some of your other ones.

    Did you see the way Clottey was snapping Pacs head back? Do you think Hagler would fight cautiously against Manny:lol: No matter how Hagler fought he would destroy Manny. How much closer can you come to beating Hagler than what DUran did, that fight was very close. So you are basically saying Manny would have beat Hagler right?

    You've put him on the spot here. This should be interesting. Brace yourself, the next post might give us all a heart attack.

    no, I am saying if Hagler fought Manny the way he fought Duran in 83 then Manny could beat Hagler and not just lose a decision.

    Duran.

    I have him at #6 on my ATG list while Pacquiao is just inside the top 20.
