    If this fight were to be held today, who do you think would win? Be honest.

    pac's right eye has not healed yet and he just finished fighting marquez so of course he will lose right now

    Defense will be a major factor in this fight and I say Manny Pacquiao has the edge.

    Pac may dominate the 135 lb. division, but I can't see him going any further up. The Lightweights are significantly bigger than the Featherweights.

    Do you guys remember Kostya Tszyu? Tszyu would have beaten any Featherweight at his prime. Just too much power and mass. Even Miguel Cotto who fought most of his fights at 140 lbs. would never be confused with a Featherweight.

    Pac by KO in the early-mid rounds. He would pick his spots, explode in the right moments, and catch him effortlessly with huge power punches. Katsidis isn't huge for a LW and he hasn't shown anything resembling good boxing skill. If he gets by Casamayor on Saturday, it's only because Casamayor is completely shot.

    Yeah buddy . . . but Katsidis is wide open too and too easy to hit . . . so it works both ways. They are both capable of hurting each other and cutting each other.

    A 50/50 fight for me . . . but I'm favoring Pac. If Pac can hit and hurt the best counter puncher in JMM . . . he is very much capable of hurting Katsidis . . . but then again just like what I'm saying on Pac vs David Diaz . . . we never know how Pac would fare at 135.
