    Who can beat Manny Pacquaio? Let's leave Hoya out of this for the moment but in the visible future who will beat Pac from the list of current/possible opponents. Will it be Soto, Hatton, Malignagghi, Marquez, or a little guy come out of nowhere named Guzman? This should be a fun "what if" topic. I think Soto is dangerous but Hatton is gonna need ALL of Pac's attention cuz who comes in bigger in that fight will be very important. Malignagghi can be very slick and has been waiting for a big fight for some time and this marks him as dangerous from another perspective. He didn't go down against Cotto but his slick boxing did fail him. Discuss.

    I think he's great but I think he exchanges too much for the likes of Pac. Makes for interesting fights but also knockouts.

    Since hes at 135 ill just go with 135 fighters. JMM already beat him twice so id pick him agian and the only other id go with is Juan Diaz. If Casamayor was in his prime id pick him to but now Pac would **** him.

    Seriously?

    I was under the impression that Vasquez was getting bullied in sparring by Pac during his Wildcard days. That or I got false information. In any case, Pac was a beast at 122 and he woulda wiped the floor with Vasquez.

    Anyway Juan Diaz and Maglinaggi would definitely beat Pac.

    If Marquez could learn in a third fight how to weather the early rounds against Manny without any knockdowns and control the pace as he usually does I would say so too. It's tough with those fights as they are close with Marquez seeming ahead but two points make a difference and the drama of a kd make a dramatic impression on judges.

    Your information was False son, it was the other way around, Israel proved to me in the gym that Manny was in trouble going into the first Marquez fight and the first Morales fight.
    Izzy is stronger than most of you give credit for. even Pac fans had to take their hats off to Izzy when they saw Izzy spar with Manny they know, weather they admit as much or not is another issue.
