    once he faces a foe who at once, can take his power and can hurt him. That's the only way you can beat him convincingly. By taking his power and dishing it back to him, for full 12 rounds. By making him feel discouraged and frustrated.

    RIght now, I don't see anyone at 135 who can punish him. (outbox him? plentiful)

    At 140, I think Hatton can be the man. He is much stronger, and has the clinching style that exhaust, tire and frustrate someone who is naturally smaller.

    totally agree. it took pac 9 rounds to knockout david diaz and the fight was too one-sided. if pac was a natural lightweight, that kind of fight would result in diaz being ko'ed pretty much earlier. it would be ugly if he would fight someone in 140 like hatton. much uglier if someone at 154 like hoya.

    JMM would have stopped him if he fought more aggressive.

    I agree. He could've jumped on him a couple of times but instead let Pac recover everytime he landed something flush.

    There's too many people at LW that will give him a tough time for him to be thinking of moving right passed it.

    The problem with Marquez is that he has to taste the canvas against Pac in order for him to straighten out his nerves. Once this happens he owns Pac but the knockdowns just sway the decision away from him.

    Very much, plus he is hurt by Pac's power. JMM clearly can not do to Pac what Margarito did to Cotto.

    What I am talking about is someone who can take Manny's all out force at the same who can give him his own medicine.

    A JMM-Pac's fight will always be close and controversial, though.

    The guy who could have done is shot (EM). I know what you are talking about, someone like Castillo, Mancini or Arguello would have done it, but we don't have these type of boxers at the present.

    The good boxers Pac has been fighting are the same boxers from 126 (except for Guzman) and now the same boxers might take over the 135 division. Basically the 130 and 135 divisions are weak. IMO the boxers who have the best chance to defeating Pac are the usual suspects, JMM and Guzman and probably Campbell.

    JMM can nver knock down PACMAN, BUT PACMAN will always knock down JMM....so how can JMM say he won in those two fights. is that how dumb JMM is, just llike the preference of fighting CHRIS JOHN instead of PACMAN for just peanuts.......:hat

    No I'm not blind. JMM isn't aggressive and could use more killer instinct...probably his ONLY real flaw as a fighter. He had Pac badly wobbled and didn't even pursue him at one point in the fight. He was also consistently rocking Pac but not going in for the kill.
