    Are there any other P4P listees or stylistic matchups in the current crop of fighters that you see beating Pacquiao right now? At equal weight how would Manny do against Calzaghe, Cotto, Pavlik, Guzman, Wright, Margarito, Calderon, Mijares, ect? Who beats Pacquiao head to head?

    H2H probably someone like Guzman, Calderon and Mijares. Pac always had problems with slicksters. The others would be a shootout, and Pac invariably wins a shootout every time.

    Damn, I forgot Margarito on the poll. He's obviously hot right now. Bad oversight on my part.

    i'd favor juan diaz, not p4p, but straight up.

    i so wish that fight would happen. diaz would probably be put as the underdog by the bookies. i'd bet the farm on him, win, and be loaded for life.

    Pavlik; Calzaghe; Abraham; Winky and Cotto will beat Pac's ass straight to the hospital.

    Hatton; Guzman; Campbell are 50/50 fights.

    Linares? 60/40 for Pac.

    Calderon? LMAO! :rofl . . . Calderon would wish he was never been born. :deal

    Where's JMM in the list? That's another 50/50 fight.

    You left out Marquez, Valero, Guzman, Linares, Soto, Roberto Guerrero, Gamboa -- Get my drift?

    Manny hasn't reached the point where he can pick and choose like ODLH yet. He has something to prove. Let's see him fight some young lions in his own weight class.

    I was thinking about adding Marquez, but it felt like too much of a gimmee. You also have a good point regarding Calderon, but I still give Ivan a good shot - he's just that crafty, and while Manny knows how to destroy like nobody's business, I don't think he's as truly dangerous with both hands, and capable of switching stances as might be nescessary to catch Calderon. Pacquiao does have the footspeed to nullify some of Calderon's magic though, potentially. You do know these lower classes better than I do though, psychopath.

    I did, and good points - but I wanted to stretch the concept into P4P more a bit. I do see what you're saying though - and I agree wholeheartedly. We also need more poll options! 10 more would be sweet.

    Why wasn't "none" in the options list. That is my vote...none.

    I would favor Pac to beat Calzaghe, Cotto.

    Calzaghe won't be able to hurt him with those flurries. Remember Pac can also throw a lot of more powerful flurries, from all angles. And I don't think he can be outworked by Calzaghe at this point.

    Cotto. He can be hurt, it is proven, and with his recent quitting to Margarito, shows he can be discouraged easily if pressured well.

    Pavlik. This is actually could be a brutal war, and the Pavlik-Pac can be translated into the first Morales-Pac fight, that is if Pac won't be able to hurt Pavlik.
