122: Nonito Donaire vs Manny Pacquaio

good find

 

Pac has too much FOB energy for Donaire.

 

Pacquiao would make DOnaire run and take a knee or he gets pummeled hard out and quit.

 

I think Donaire would be too smart to get stopped.

He'll lose on points though.

That's my analysis.

 

Donaire is too polished at 122 while Pac was such a brawler back then.

I don't see him KO-ing Pac tho.

 

if Pacquiao tasted Donaire's left hook, he'd be crippling over and running away like he did against Margarito

your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see

 

Pac is way too talented and he had the seek and destroy mentality. Donaire gets bombed out late. Pac was huge at those weights.

 

I never realized this, but damn. No fighter ever went the distance with Pac at 122.

10-0-1 (10 KOs)

The Sanchez bout was a technical draw because of a cut

I would love to see Pac's fight night weights for those fights. He had to be like 135 or so in the ring...and be so much faster. Just an amazing H2H specimen.

 

Pac was raw at 122?

He was a beast at 122. He moved up around that time and wiped the floor with Barrera. Nishioka fought like a scaredy cat. Pac was relentless back then and he would push Donaire back and wouldn't let him set anything up.

Barrera was a top 5 P4P fighter at the time Pac fought him. He was just as good as Donaire, if not better. Pac would beat Donaire like he did Barrera.

 

Pac tbh

Donaire would put up a great fight tho
