    How do you see this going?

    Pac was exceptionally dangerous as a FLW but he was also not as durable and didn't have the stamina he would later develop.

    Donaire was a marvel at this weight and was the premiere FLW despite never beating Pong.

    The argument for me is was Pac pre primed enough that Donaire should be favoured?

    Donaire is far more polished at the weight, so the smart money is on him. Pacquaio was raw but could bomb with a fast overhand left so you can't right him off, but he's the underdog.

    Exactly how I see it tbh mate. Pacquiao just wasn't very good at FLW but he was a huge puncher and could end anyone's night.
