    I suppose he was playing them down but not making a pick specifically. To be fair allot of people said Mckinney didn't seem the same against MAB, whether that was what MAB was doing to him or he was a bit past it is up for debate, I'm not enough of an authority of Mckinney to comment. And if Hamed did land 1 of those bombs people didn't get up from them

    Was that right after Mckinney beat Jones too? Its hard to tell if a boxer will be able to come back from a loss/losses, sometimes they need to adapt their style to do so, Barrera managed to do that.

    Its got to be said its a shame Mckinney didnt get a fight for a while after Jones and lost his momentum

    People go with whats happened lately, remember when no one gave Mosley a chance against Margarito? 1 of countless examples

    As for the thread, given Southy Casamayor got the better of Corrales you'd have to expect Pac to do the same, but if Corrales can measure and exchange with Pac he can hurt him, maybe KO him, Corrales power was no joke. And all this talk of Margarito looking huge next to Pac, Corrales is actually the same height.

    So I'd go with Pacquaio but not put too much money down on him

    That's Steve Holdsworth commentating. He's always criticizing the fighters but is usually comical while doing so.

    Pac leaves both guys batter, bloody and unconscious, like David Diaz.

    Pac's too fast, he would beat both guys pretty easily, probably have more trouble with Freitas, becaus hed be a little harder to find.

    I just recently got Popo Freitas career set and the dude had a lot of talent. Popo athleticism reminds me very much of Pacquiao's. I will pick Pac to beat Chico with very much confidence and same with Popo but he would have some problems with Popo who was athletic and and a hard puncher.
