    Bottom line is, would any of you say could Pacquaio stand up to a Thomas Hearns right hand? Hearns & Cuevas' power are virtually neck & neck.

    JMM wasnt unstoppable at 126 neither and look what he did to Pacman, now imagine him fighting a better, stronger, faster version of JMM. As for the bold part, i agree he surpasses Sal, just not at 126, and the other statment is your opinion which i disagree with, tho i do have them around the same spots. If Manny beats May, then i would rank him above Chavez.

    And MAB, Hattons, Cottos, and a corpse DLH's left hooks are just as strong as Cuevas left hook right? :patsch

    I think that Cuevas is just to heavy handed for Manny at WW.

    The fact is they couldn't land their left hooks, and pretty much all throw them faster than Cuevas, hence he isn't landing it

    Yes - Speed isn't everything but it is quite important!

    We could ask Roy Jones Jr. about that - LOL
