I know Pacquiao keeps beating the hell out of everybody, but lets say he faces young technician with good power Lara, or like one posted Paul Williams. In no catch weight BS, simply pac vs pw both weighing 154? Angulo too offensive, is too open, would get KO'd. Dzinziruk?? Maybe Martinez, who would still have big time power at 154. Mayweather obviously...atsch I think Timmy (based on being too small, no reach) & Khan (his chin won't survive 12 rds with Pacquiao's power & speed) have no chance in the discusion. Just from the standpoint of who would beat who (no p4p sense) my top 5 would be.. 1. Mayweather 2. Martinez 3. Pacquiao 4. Williams 5. Lara Mayweather beats them all based on skills and yes he can take a punch. Martinez defensive style and his "waiting for the big punch" kind of attitude would play out very well for him vs anybody around 154. I wouldn't be surprised if he KO'd Pacquiao. what ya think..?
Well pac is pushing it at 150 so 154 would be tough, but since its a weak division I think he can handle it. I would say: 1: martinez 2: pacquiao 3. Mayweather 4.Williams 5. cotto nobody of the 140 guys can handle 154 so they are out.
No-one has proven to be the best overall between 140-154lbs. Martinez is not at 154lbs for one. You could argue that Pacquiao is the best between 140-147lbs, but then again his name coincides with Mayweathers. Many can argue that Mayweather beats Pacquiao, and vise versa at 147lbs...so to a point that is still up for debate. Although Pacquiao has the stronger argument at the minute.
do you think pac beat pw at welterweight? at 154 tough but 147? would say yes..pw would not have enough meat in his stomach, pac would blast his body away
If he can make it asl comfortable as he used to maybe... At JM i got PW the size difference is ridiculous and yea Pac willl be able to hit PW often but i thin he takes more in return.. Would be very intresting,and id be intrested in ROaches game plan for this fight. One other althugh PW isnt as fast as Pac, he will hit him much more thann anyone else has at the higher weights.. Would be a helluva a fight...Cant remember the last time i saw a 5-6 guy face a 6-2 opponent? In a big fight probably got to go back to Spinks-Qawi!
Let me remind you that we are not in the classic's section. We are talking about active fighters here.
