    Yes H2H the most dangerous version of Pac was the version who had 3 fights at 126 pounds. Now could you imagine if he had stayed at the weight while his skills caught up with his aggression? Hed have been unstoppable.

    Didn't Morales beat Pac at 126 in their first fight. After that Pac got with Roach, were he developed Manila Ice, a right hook that went with the straight left.

    Nah, he beat him at 130. And I remember Pacquiao being with Roach for his fight with Jorge Eliecer Julio, he must've decided to work on new technical things after Morales, coz he was with Roach - if I'm remembering right - from way before.

    Yeah, if I remember correctly, Roach was bragging about the new right hook in the rematch with Morales. I'm sure you're right about Roach being with him before.

    Marquez had a easier time with the 2008+ version of Pacquiao, The 122 and 126 fighter was way faster and more powerful

    He was washed up when he fought them too. Morales best days were 2004 and before. The three wars with Morales had already taken much out of him by the time he fought Pac.
    His won over Pac was legendary and the perfect way to end his career but he ruined it by taking the rematch. You could tell from his body language before the opening bell he was only there to pick up his check.
    The Morales of 2000 would have been a handful for Pac, probably more than he could chew, he still fought on raw strength and aggression back then in addition to his excellent boxing skills.
    In his win over Pac he relied more on guile and experience, a true man against boy scenario

    So basically 2021 testing would beat every elite fighter?
