    Pac by stoppage, in a tough fight where his superior natural abilities would give him the win.

    Guzman at 122 destroys both of them easily though. Both by stoppage.

    This was Pac's best class, so I think he'd be too much for IV or RM here.

    izzy come forward style will only make pac look like more of a monster at this weight

    Watch their fights at 122. And if you want to compare how they did against the same opponents, I suggest you watch Pac-Sanchez or Vazquez-Guerrero.

    Guzman's style advantage is huge and his iron chin rules out any possibility of Pac/Vazquez hurting him. Pac/Vazquez's defensive vulnerabilities and come forward styles make the possibility of a Guzman TKO very good, especially against Vazquez who has a shaky chin.

    :rofl :rofl :rofl he was a solid puncher at 122 but nowhere near the power of this two above or rafa. he only moved up in weight and his power was totally gone. pac was outwrestled by sanchez but he wasn't beaten in a boxing match.
    with pac's speed and power at 122, i doubt guzman would outbox him.

    pac was an absolute monster @122. all of his fights at this weight (aside from the dirty TD fight vs. sanchez), ended in TKO/KO victories.

    Come on we know that pac does not fight going backwards he will not give pac room to land the left and can catch pac with a quick left hook like he did to marquez you know this is boxing anything can happen.

    His power has not totally gone. He has underrated power (I'm not saying he's a big puncher or anything close to that, but he's not featherfisted) and he has only faced fighters with solid chins is recent years. Also, he doesn't go for KO's like he used to.

    Pac's defense was horrible at 122.. Guzman would constantly tag him with flush shots and Pac would have zero success with his one dimensional, twice as sloppy as it is now style.

    He wasn't an absolute monster. He was even more flawed than he is now and he was matched in easy fights (except for the Sanchez fight). Of course, the Barrera fight was very impressive, but that wasn't at 122.

    watch pac's fights from morales 2 onwards. pac now throws a very mean right hook counter and good left jab when going backwards. his defense has also improved.

    and @122, pac never had to go backwards against anyone. when his opponents felt his great power at this weight, they were the ones who definitely went backwards.

    pac's defense at 122 was his offense. he moves a lot and very fast which makes countering him very difficult. guzman would have trouble avoiding those attacks.
