    Manny Pacquiao or Aaron Pryor?

    (both at their peaks, both clean)

    Pacman looks lost when he's being backed up and Pryor would be up in his face all night long.. Pryor would smother his punches, grind him down, and knock him out in the late rounds.

    Pacman gets sodomized.

    This is not a H2H matchup.

    Otherwise, I change my answer.

    IC.. Well resume wise, of course Pacman...

    This isn't even debatable.

    I'd seen the Hawk on numerous occasions years back and he'd give the Pacman a boxing lesson and plenty more.

    sounds strange to me, but p4p i'd have to say pacman, but toe to toe it'd be the hawk, even tho manny would not make it easy for him or anyone. manny is a true modern great in our midst

    i stand corrected. i evaluate p4p rankings by resume and skills so i guess resume does count.

    Pac has the far better achievements...not even close in that regard.

    It must be said though I wouldnt have him h2h top 5 at just about every weight he has fought at, even as my favorite fighter right now...Pryor on the otherhand, would be one of the best if not the best h2h at 140..especially when talking about dedicated jnr welters. Food for thought.

    That is funny. Some of his fans may say that you are a hater for saying that. And they will say that Pacquiao always loses in a fantasy match up and that is just because you hate him.
    Some would argue that he is not strong enough to be in the top 5, all time in the head to head match ups of every division he has fought in because he was too raw, rough & inexperienced as a flyweight, he was still too wild and hittable at 122 pounds, he barely fought at featherweight and he was still very rough at the time, and he's just a little too small against ATG 130 pounders, and definitely is smaller and less stronger & less powerful against ATG 135, 140 & 147 fighters.
    But he defeats just about anybody that you pit against him now, in his own era.
    So saying that he probably can not defeat Gomez, Sal Sanchez, JCC, Tszyu, Pryor et cetera, does not diminish his greatness.

    Pryor makes Pac look like a one paced snail.
