IMO, Leonard beats Pac with great boxing skills, decent power and blazing hand speed. Hearns beats Pac because of size (height) and a great jab and that thunderous one punch KO power carrying right hand. Duran is a hard nosed durable hard punching beast, but he was a come foward brawler and thats where Pac excels, this is a toss up but Pac could very well win this. AAron Pryor was a whirlwind with nice speed and a high punch out-put and was a heavy puncher, a KO artist he would go toe to toe with whomever and come out on top, a dream fight between him and Pac would have been very exciting, because they both love to fight but i would favor Aaron in this fight. Wilfred had very good boxing skills and a good defense but i would favor Pac to eventually overwhelm him with his speed and get the win in a close fight because of Benitez's boxing ability and defense.
not sure about pryor or benitez hearns and leonard are completely wrong fights for pac and both but demolish him,with neither fight going the distance duran while typically known as a come forward brawler actually had superb defense and techinal ability and i feel he would bully pac using his superior physical strength and toughness in a leonard-duran 1 type battle
I would say he has very little to zero chance of beating Leonard or Hearns...too small. I'd have Duran as the favourite against almost any version of Pacquiao. I'd probably favour Pacquiao vs Pryor and Benitez (especially Pryor at 140lbs...even though we saw very little of Pacquiao there).
Leonard and Hearns beat him. Duran would be a great fight. But 147 was never his best weight. It would be am all out war which Pac just nicks. Very much a 50-50 tho. I woul favour PAC to beat Pryor and Ben quite confortably. So I have him definitely losing two, definitely winning two, and 1 50-50
I agree with everything you said. I also want to add that I believe the worst possible person Pac could go up against is Thomas Hearns and I don't really see this fight going past 6 rounds
This is a really tough crowd , the only one I give him a good chance of beating would be Pryor , he is the smallest of the group , the easiest to hit and did have faults. The fight which would have been his worst nightmare was against Benitez , he was 5 - 10 and truely great. Just as a matter of interest I have the same results for Floyd .
The only one Pac would beat is Pryor. The only other one I'd give him any real chance against would be Benitez. At 147, Pac does not have a chance against Duran, Leonard or Hearns. Pac should really be fighting in the 135-140 range. Throwing him to ATG welterweights (SRL, Hearns) or an ATG who produced great performances at 147, 154 & 160 (Duran) is simply not fair. The equivalent is saying: - How would Tommy Hearns do against prime Michael Spinks at 175? - How would SRL go against prime Roy Jones at 168? - How would Duran fare against prime Monzon at 160? etc
i think he loses them all to be honest.....leonard and hearns do it more comfortably, pryor and duran do it more painfully. the benitez fight could be close.
leonard by 15 ud hearns uses the right hand in similar fashion as the brutal duran cuevas kayos and does the same to manny pac kayos duran pryor kayos pac benitez schools pac via 15 round ud:yep:think
