    122? way too big for too sharp. at 112 too sharp is too sharp for unrefined pac at flyweight. johnson picks him apart

    Who knows because Too Sharp didn't fight that high, but if he moves for one bout at his prime, I think he decisions a one-handed Pacquiao.

    At 122? Pacquiao, but at Johnson's best weight? It's a boxing clinic. Only question for me there is whether or not Pacquiao could make it the distance and I highly doubt he would.

    I can't see Pacquiao beating any great flyweight. Too green, too unskilled, too vulnerable, too fragile. Even against fighters on the level of Sasakul, I can't see him winning consistently against them. Maybe every so often against less durable types with his big straight left bailing him out after being down on the cards.

    the thing is, pac was unpolished and too green at the time (about 18 to 20 years of age) but the thing is, we cannot count pac out especially with his kind of power at the weight. sasakul was on his way to winning a UD in thailand boxing beautifully but it was not the whole story really. before the round of the stoppage, pac has landed some heavy shot with consistency that made sasakul weary and cannot execute his offense properly virtually slowing him down until the stoppage.

    Yeah, it's been a while since I saw that fight, but I remember Pacquiao coming on a bit before the stoppage. Not the best performance by any means, but a very good name to have on his resume. A lot of boxing fans aren't familiar with Sasakul or his title winning effort.
