    Donaire that's about to fight at 122 vs the manny from his 122 days (~2004)

    Ko/decision/draw?

    it would be a pretty good one..but I think Donaire eats a left hand that he's never seen or felt before in his life.

    Pac KO 4

    Eats a left never seen/felt before....yup

    Manny was a wild beast and I don't think flash is that good technically (at least right now) as a morales or **** drinker

    Donaire wins emphatically, Pacquaio wasn't the finished article yet and Donaire's movement, counter punching, speed and power would give him fits

    Its kind of a push. Pac's never faced the skill of a fighter in Nonito. Nonito DID face Darchinyan but I don't think Nonito is good enough to time Pac.

    When its usually 50/50, I give the edge to the puncher

    Plus, we don't know what Nonito will look like at 122. Athletically, the only guy close to Pac is Rigondeaux.

    If there were two weight classes that I wish manny stopped and competed in...it would be 122 and 140.

    Donaire all the way ... PAC got KTFO by Medgoen Singsurat, as stated above... Pac was not a finish article yet.

    Lol how is "pac ko4" a push/50-50

    Yea flash is skilled but so were the 3 big Mexicans

    I'm pretty sure flash will look good at 122

    At the time manny was at 140, there weren't anyone really there besides green fighters

    Great fight.

    I think people tend to forget though that Pac was pretty big and was pretty much at his fastest at 122. So while Pac was pretty crude back then, he really was a monster at the weight, and much bigger than Donaire is now so I wouldn't be surprised if Pac takes this.

    Donaire UD, of the 8-4/7-5 variety

    Too much good movement from Donaire.

    I can only see Donaire getting worse as he moves up in weight.

    Floyd fans always go against manny in every fantasy matchup, would have been a great fight though:)

    How about we wait and see how Nonito looks at 122lbs before we start making these type of threads?
