    I think the body shots would fold Manny late. The Taylor who had his decision taken from him was very similar to Pac and you saw what happened to him. Btw, a fair assessment of Manny's career is who did he beat and when did he beat them.
    1) Beat Oscar when he was 35 years old
    2) Beat Barrera after two fights with Morales
    3) Beat Hatton after he was Ko'd by Mayweather
    4) Beat Margarito after he ate right hand after right hand from Cotto and Mosley and fought once since January 2009
    5) Beat Morales after the Barrera vs. Morales trilogy and after he beat Manny.
    6) Got a draw with Marquez after knocking him down three times in the first round and the second fight a flash knockdown saved him from another draw.
    7) Fought at 126 in 2003 when Mayweather was 134 at the same time. Hence, where does all the steroid talk come from especially with no substanial evdidence?

    Could he beat Floyd? that is a legitimate question but him beating a top ten great. There is no debate...In no order.. Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard(beat Duran, Hagler, and Hearns), Duran, Harry Greb, Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong, Hearns, Foreman, Salvador Sanchez, Pryor. That is ten guys and more than likely more who are far and away better than Pac.

    Chavez by KO. Manny probably takes a knee after a couple of body shots.

    Agreed. Chavez would turn Pacquiao's insides to mush.

    Are we talking about a fictional Chavez - Pac match-up or are we trying to question Pac's achievements?

    I will give a lot of those guys credit. I do argue that Foreman or Pryor were not better than Pacman. Foreman had power, but also was outclassed against fast fighters. And Pryor had one fight vs. a great and another good in Cervantes, but he was not near Manny's class. His career was too short.

    One fight against great but what great and what fight :).

    edit: Pac resume is better than Pryor's but Pryor has what Pac doesn't a win against a top 25 ATG. And Pac has what Pryor doesn't - multiple titles at different weight classes and a lot of wins against HOFs.

    What a shameless long list of excuses. Just do the taxi driving community a favor and jump out the window, someone else wants the job.

    Chavez would beat Pacquiao.

    Faced a much higher level of opposition, and rarely came up short.

    Easy win for Pac.

    He would mutilate that slug.

    You make the point that always beats the Pacland "top 10 all time" BS.

    Name one fighter on his resume, even at their very peaks, who'd make any boxing all time top 100?

    De la Hoya is all I have. And he was shot.

    Haha,

    The question is what would happen. Not what you hope would happen.

    The answer to the latter involves Manny beating Sugar Ray Robinson as well probably

    Chavez is the most overrated "legend" in boxing probably next to Marciano.

    Pacquiao fans need to watch a fight occasionally.

    Rather than the patronising "he beats everyone on the basis that he's a hero, with super powers, and does charity work, and I get upset when you say he'd lose" answer.

    Answer me this. Watch Chavez box.

    How does Margarito hurt him with power shots? And Chavez doesn't destroy him?
