Julio Cesar Chavez -
Pac UD:
I think Pac will do a a Taylor except with his footspeed, get out of the way a lot more often and last the 12 rounds to a UD.

Chavez SD Floyd:
Floyd doesnt deal with pressure all too well. Oscar's pressure which he only learned really how to cut the ring off from Roach training camp had Floyd in trouble. Hatton frustrated Floyd a lot. Castillo frustrated Floyd a lot. Chavez iron chin to walk through Floyd shots and land bodypunches all night. Close fight.

Pernel Whittaker UD Both:
I thought Floyd was being outboxed by Judah at start and as usual Judah buckled in the 2nd half of the fight, he also couldnt take Floyd's pressure. I noticed Floyd doesnt really have much of an offense, his offense is counterpunches which Pea wont allow him much of. Pea will also probably force Floyd to come forward with Floyd being the bigger man, exposing Floyd's lack of offense.

Pea just outboxes Pac IMO. Pea is tough enough to handle a few punches that get through and slick enough to win most rounds in the fight.

Meldrick Taylor
PBF SD:
Although taylor presents a lot of problems for Floyd, mainly speed and punches in bunches, most of the punches are quite linear and Floyd would see them coming. Those punches will also allow for counterpunching opportunities. Close fight which I think PBF will take after loosing first couple of rounds and adapting.

Pac TKO Late:
IMO Pac hits pretty hard and will land a lot more than Chavez due to his own speed. If these 2 go to war, I predict Pac winning by TKO after wearing Taylor out with his harder punches which will land in equal amount to Taylor's. If Taylor chooses to box he may very well UD Pac.

Oscar De La Hoya
Oscar SD Floyd:
If their fight was any indication of how the fight would go in Oscar's prime, I think its safe to say Oscar wins this one. He has his own speed, power, and the longer jab.

Pac UD Oscar:
In the same way Oscar had trouble with Pea, he will have trouble with Pac. Its the akwardness he doesnt seem to enjoy too much, specially when he even in his prime was quite robotic with his movements. I think the styles just favour Pac in this fight, people can say that was an old Oscar Pac fought and it was, but it was a glimpse of how the styles look together.

Sugar Ray Leonard
SRL UD Floyd:
Too big, powerful, as fast, too fast combinations to slip and duck and a lot of size. I think Floyd's defense gets him through the 12 rounds but SRL dominates for most of the fight.

SRL KO Pac:
Pac will get caught and get caught too much. His usual tactic of just covering up when hurt wont work either, SRL will just smother and flurry him possibly breaking his defense or causing a TKO.

Thomas Hearns
Hearns KO Floyd:
Judah landed quite a few on Floyd, Hearns will land a lot more because of his output and will land harder.

Hearns KO Pac Duran style:
This will be ugly. Other than a hail mary shot out of nowhere from Pac similar to the one he landed on Hatton to land on Hearns chin, Pac stands virtually no chance in beating Hearns. Hearns destroys Pac.

Roberto Duran SD both:
Both will put up great fights, possibly win a decision on other nights too but overall I think Duran just has them both. I dont think Floyd can handle Durans pressure and Pac will put up a brave fight but be outgunned.

Sugar Ray Robinson
KO both, too much size and power.

Im positive that Salvador Sanchez would have schooled Pac at Fw or JL. And quite a few at Welter. At 140 only Chavez,Delahoya.

SRL,Hearns,Duran beat Floyd. Chavez at lightweight would take Floyd. Prime Oscar too. Pernell even money.
