This. Pac's come-forward style in his 122 would eventually be a benefit for a Donaire left hook. As Pac moves in as he pulls a baiting right jab for his left straight, Donaire would put his quick left hook. Boom! 122 pac would be on the floor. But remember, 122 Pac is 140lbs on fight night, while Donaire is what, 130-135? And Pac mixes it up to the body and head while Donaire would just look for headshots. Pac's output is insane and would succumb Donaire's defense. And we all know that Donaire puts his bike whenever a big man and a puncher-in-volume guy is in front of him. Donaire might floor Pac through quick KD, but Pac would make donaire to his knees through cuts and bruises. Pac TKO8 Donaire. Hey cubans: Pac TKO3 Rigo. Pac will murder Rigo by jab alone, Uliuli style.
I beg to differ. Sure he got caught by Hussein. But afterwards, we haven't seen him seriously hurt. Even against guys like Ledwaba, Agapito Sanchez among others. Just my hunch, it might be the time where his body is peaking to its mature state where his chin can now withstand harder blows than he is used to taking.
idk man. He's taking punches from Cotto and Margo who are a lot bigger than him now, but was getting his legs buckled vs Morales, Marquez even by Larios. He had a good chin, but it got better as he moved up then p4p, Doanire's hook is stronger than Cotto's
Pac was draining himself too much in the lower weights. He knew he has to go up and never stay in the lower weights coz, like Floyd, his body matures as he grows from teen to maturity. Imagine pacquiao still fights his ass off in 126-130 lbs. hed be a walking stick in the weigh ins, unlike now that he never has to shed lots of pounds to maintain weight, like Floyd.
donaire is a great fighter in his own right but he would get overwhelmed by pac's speed and power at the weight.
@112, there's a good chance that donaire beats pac but it's not a certainty. just look at what pac did to a prime sasakul. @122, donaire taking on the pac version that blitzed ledwaba and just moved up to fight barrera, pac wins.
