The Manny that fought at 125 would have had a hard time aganist Sanchez. I'll say a close fight if Sanchez could handle Manny's power.
A guy who can counter-punch like JMM, with a better chin and more power? If I was drawing up a stylistic nightmare for Pac, it would look something like this.
At featherweight Id say Salvador Sanchez, Pep, Morales, JMM,and Azumah Nelson beat Pacman. He also adapted to any style. Sanchez by late tko. Not even Pacquiao with Ariza could match Chavas stamina. Sanchez TKO 14 Pacquiao.
I would say if it were manny at feather weight prior to developing that right hook, I give it to sanchez by late stoppage... Todays version of manny would stop Sanchez, but it would be a fight in both senses....
Quite a few featherweights would have beaten Pacquiao at the weight. Salvador Sanchez was indeed one of them.
Sanchez would knock PAC out in 1. PAC is the worst fantasy fighter ever. Example...PAC already beat Morales and Marquez but in a fantasy fight he would still lose to them LOL.
Pac never beat Marquez or Morales at Feather..That was at 130lbs, we all know what happen with Marquez, but i would favor Morales to beat Pacman at 126lbs by a very close UD.
