jmm gave pac all sorts of problems with his counter punching. i thought he won both fights. jmm isnt on the level of sal sanchez.
barrera was suppose to do this to pac at 126. pac would always be underated in a head-to-head matchups against other ATGs because of his being one-dimesional. camacho at 130, sanchez at 126 and gomez at 122. but people didn't realize that pac wins fight not on skills but more so on speed, power and more importantly heart. i would not count pac out in any fight within his weight range.
have a funny feeling that this thread will go several pages as per usual as other threads pac being matched to other greats.
Here we go again.. Before Manny Pacquiao fought Lidwaba, Barrera, and Morales almost nobody gave Pacman a chance. You can name all great past fighters and put them against Pac in a mythical match up and people will just say that Pac will just fold up in the ring. Guess what, actual results with Pacquiao's fight against the greats usually ends with Pacman koing the opposition.
this is what you call intangibles. pac is not really a head-to-head monster because of his flaws but we cannot measure his intangibles. tha't why fighters like him surprises us more often than not.
Obviously the mastery of Sanchez's counter punching would be too much for Pacquiao, its an easy pick. :yep
