    Pacquiao built a reputation as a Mexican fighter slayer early in his career, but how would he do against these ATG Mexican fighters?

    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Salvador Sanchez
    Carlos Zarate
    Ruben Olivares

    Loses to Olivares, he didn't actually fight at BW, but if we're extrapolating, I can't see him beatint a top 3 H2H at that weight imo.

    I'd favour him over the other 3 though.
    Sanchez had massive trouble with a southpaw in his draw with Juan Escobar, Pacquiao would set his left hand up and beat Sanchez to the punch imo. Takes a UD.

    He outspeeds Chavez, should he fight like he did vs Hatton, Cotto, Marg ect. (Assuming this is at 140, thus complete prime Pac), he'll have to keep himself safe and dart in and out. Could go either way, but I see Pac's speed taking a close decision.

    Zarate gets out gunned and outworked, he'd be too easy to hit and wasn't the best boxer to keep Pac confused. Also, Zarate wouldn't have all of his physical advantages.

    Hard fights, all of them, all obviously great fighters. Pac was a very special fighter prime too, I could see him beating all of them
