    Exactly.

    Especially those who voted "Pac by decision" should switch to watching badminton.

    It's all loose speculation with these Pacquiao fantasy matchups above a certain size. I'll have to see how he fares over the next few years to really judge him at these higher weights. Too many question marks still remain, though I doubt I'd ever favor him over Pea just based on styles. Whitaker is all wrong for him.

    Whitaker fought: Chavez, De La Hoya, Trinidad, McGirt, Vasquez, Nelson, Pendleton, Haugen, Ramirez, Mayweather, Pineda, Brazier, etc.

    Pac has fought: Marquez, Barrera, Morales, De La Hoya, Hatton, Sasakul, Ledwaba, Singsurat, Diaz, Solis, Larios, etc.

    I'd give the clear edge to Whitaker as far as opposition faced (as well as beaten if you include his fights with De La Hoya and Chavez as wins). Pac is a great fighter, there can no longer be any questioning of that, but the bulk of his ranking is in his weight jumping feats rather than his skill level or level of opposition. That speaks more of his physical capabilities than of his boxing ability to me. Still, he's without question great. As to how great I'm not yet sure. These next few years will prove a lot.

    Manny is a bad ass but Whitaker is a slick guy. That is a tough one.

    Pea would win something like 9-3 or 10-2 most definitely. Only realistic result.

    Poll is stupid.

    If you pick Whitaker = people say your good, you know boxing

    But

    If you pick Pacquiao = people say your stupid, you don't know boxing

    Why make a poll anway? Oh yeah right, so we could see Pac at least lose EVEN ON A FANTASY MATCH UP!

    Nopes it's not stupid . . . the poll shows the opinion of the majority but take note the majority is not always right.

    There's nothing wrong on losing on fantasy fights . . . will you pick Pac over Williams or Pavlik? :D
