Barrera can and matter of fact I thought he prevailed in many exchanges against Pac in the rematch. Pac is most dangerous when he gets off first and his opponent is on the retreat, but in toe to toe exchanges, he usually gets wild and misses a lot of his punches.
Much of the discussion is geared toward Pac vs PBF. But where does Mosley fit into the scheme of things? Will Pac and Mosley square off or will it be Mosley vs PBF?
Offensive arsensal, great stamina, and a great chin are pre-requisites to getting into prolonged exchanges with Pac...... Currently at 147 lbs and below only Margarito fits that bill. Of the past, the prime examples of course would be JC Chavez and Roberto Duran, both of who imo would massacre Manny Pacquiao, simply for their ability to get inside the eye of the storm and avoid getting hit with big shots.
Hearns and Trinidad are huge men in comaprison to Pac, but that is amazing that we can have a conversation like this not sure if they are fast enough but maybe they could have used their height against him.
at what weight. he presents a lot of problems to guys at 140/147lbs because of his mobility. he has the same type of activity and mobility that he did at 130 which is something you don't normally see with guys at 147lbs.
