How does prime Pacquiao do against these prime fighters at 147lb

Beats no one

 

Might beat Tito

 

He goes 4 - 3...

Thomas Hearns
Pac loses


Terence Crawford
Pac wins


Jose Napoles
Pac wins


Pernell Whitaker
Pac wins


Sugar Ray Leonard
Pac Loses


Roberto Duran
Pac losed


Felix Trinidad
Pac wins

 

All fights he could lose. He wont beat Hearns and Leonard. I favour Montreal Duran and Pea over him as well.
Think he could beat but also lose vs Tito, Bud and Napoles.
So he maybe wins a few of them but I think he loses more than he wins.
No shame in that given the guy was punching above his wright and thats a solid list of welterweight greats.

 

He's right in the mix with all if not most of them and can see him winning half of them on points.....so for me there's only 1 obvious answer.

 

I also think he won one or two fights

 

Came here to say pretty much this.

 

Thomas Hearns: Gets stopped toward the middle of the fight.

Terence Crawford: Gets stopped late or loses a decision

Jose Napoles: Absolute war where PAC-MAN gets a late stoppage or decision.

Pernell Whitaker: 50/50 can’t decide.

Sugar Ray Leonard: Loses by decision

Roberto Duran: If we’re talking about the 147 version of Duran than Pacquaio gets KO’s him.

 

Loses to them all.

 

Pac beats all but SRL and Duran.

Hearns and Bud are toss-up fights.

The rest get stopped or definitive UD.

Pac beats more than Floyd in these hypothetical fights actually

 

Hearns vs Pacquiao a toss up ? You're having a laugh right ? I can't think of a worse style match up at Welterweight for Pacquiao than Hearns.

Pacquiao was like a gunshot victim after a right hand from JMM, can you imagine what Hearns's right hand would do to Pacquiao ?

 

I think SRR/SRL are far worse matchups. There's zero evidence over Mannys career where height, reach, or jabbing dominated Manny. In fact Manny did very well versus taller, longer opponents who had good jabs (obviously Hearns had an ATG jab which is different). Manny worked through those disadvantages without issue against Margs, Thurman, Algieri, Mosley, ODLH, etc. But Manny DID have problems with elite defensive fighters who can counter-punch like Ugas, Floyd, JMM, and Morales.

Dont think Hearns is the nightmare matchup it seems on paper.

Well are we saying its POST JMM IV? Or PRE JMM IV? Cause those are different Pac fighters. If its a hypothetical fight I assume best version of each...maybe Pacman from Cotto versus Hearns that fought SRL? That was probably Hearns best WW performance since he didnt fight a who's who at WW (to my knowledge, born in 87) as Benitez and Duran were at 154.
