    How does Manny fare against these fighters. I started at 126 because I don't know many fighters below 126. I didn't pick 147 & above because I felt a lot of the fighters would have huge advantages over Pacquiao (I.e Leonard, Hearns...) and wanted to make it fairer in terms of size too.

    Manny at 126 vs:
    Armstrong
    Pep
    Sanchez
    Gomez
    Nelson
    Arguello
    Hamed

    At 126 he beats everyone except Armstrong, Arguello, Sanchez and Pep.

    At 130, he loses Mayweather and Arguello.

    At 135 he loses to Whitaker, Duran, Mayweather and Arguello.

    At 140 he loses to no-one but Floyd.

    I could see Benitez being a really unfavorable style matchup for Pacquiao. Like a very convincing 9-3 type win for Benitez on his best night.

    I could too, but I tend to think that Benítez was a little fragile and green at 140. He was 17 after all.

    Arguello all wrong for Pacquiao I agree. Arguello struggles against movers, but Pacquiao isn't hard to find. He's coming right at you. Stylistically Arguello has the advantage.

    Pacquiao should be favored over Whitaker. Pac feasts on guys with no power. And he feasts on quick, movers like Whitaker. Guys who want to box and move like Algieri or Ledwaba type fighters get stomped by Pac. And as for Mayweather, well he has more pop than Whitaker and a better right hand so he stands a better chance, but Pac in his prime is coming. He better be ready to bite down on his mouthpiece and take it. Because it's not like it's going to be the same old Pac who lands a hard shot and drives Mayweather to the ropes and then nothing happens. Pac will light you up like Christmas tree if you put on earmuffs against the ropes.

    Of course he beats Chavez. Pacquiao loves fighting swarmers. You can't swarm Pac, you need to box and hold your ground and throw straight rights.

    Can’t argue much here.

    Sorry to disagree but for me at 140 Pac beats Floyd.

    Pacquiao-Duran would have been a war.

    Pac beats them all easily. Pac always wins fantasy fights but does lose real ones.

    Wins a lot and loses a lot. Every career tends to have smoke and mirrors around it as well.
