Manny Pacquiao vs. Pipino Cuevas at WW

If Pac gets caught early one by one of Cuevas' bombs, its over for Pacman. But Pac also has a chance of a late stoppage if he can avoid get hit by something big, but Pacman isnt exactly a defensive wizard neither, so i think im going with Cuevas on this one.

 

Pac hasn't really fought as a welterweight enough for me to pick one.

 

:deal THis

 

pac by whatever he wants, if he can beat cotto and clottey, the overrated cuevas shouldn't be much of a problem.

 

You do realize that Cuevas hit harder than Cotto and Clottey put together right? as a matter of fact,him Hearns,SRR,and Curry probably hit the hardest in Welterweight history,and he would be the hardest hitter in todays welterweight division by ions,Pac gets hit to much,and you dont get hit by Cuevas,Pipino by ko by the 3rd round.

 

At WW, Manny would be tailor-made for Pipino. I'd be surprised if this goes past 5 rounds.

 

There's always the chance that Cuevas catches him good and it's over, but I think Pac's speed, agression and awkwardness will win him the day more times than not.

 

Manny's speed/straight punching see him land first on Cuevas's none existant defense. The more Cuevas wildly swings the more he gets hit until he eventually gets stopped around the mid rounds

 

Pac loses all hypotheticals against B class opposition, but beat all and murdered most of the A class opposition he has fought.

Duran wins all hypotheticals against opposition from LW to MW, but lost to all A class opposition he ever fought

 

Oh, dear...

 

Cuevas by KO.

 

Pacquiao, points or late stoppage. He has shown himself able to stick to a gameplan and has shown a great chin since moving up to light welter and welter. Cuevas doesnt have the size advantage other champions would have and is too easy to hit. There is the possibility that Cuevas catches him but more times than not he loses IMO.

 

Why did you bring up Duran
when no one else did?

 

As usual Pac pretty much the most underrated boxer in the world. Cuevas gets his ass kicked. Not a competitive fight.
