Who would you have liked to have seen Manny face...

all the guys that fought Chavez sr

 

I really expected him to clean out 135 Undefeated Baby Bull called him out. (Pac wins) in exciting fashion.
Michael Katsidis another great inside brawl until Pac bludgeons him.
Joel Casamayor- not a pleasant style IMO, but I think he could stink out a SD, he doesnt come forward, didn't really stand and trade, but was the Lineal champ and fought to counter.
Right after Nate Campbell beat Baby Bull, he, too called out Pac. I think Pac beats him up.
Unfortunately these guys all fought each other, many got their clocks cleaned by JMM because he was chasing Manny into whatever weight class he could get him.
JMM has a far greater LW record than Pac, won more titles at that weight then Pac, but I fault not just Manny, but Arum who orchestrated it.

Shane Mosley after he beat Margarito, then on ESPN called him out. Two years and a loss and draw to Mora was not the right time.


We were denied some great fights to which I'm sure Pac wins most. The one fighter whose style and freak-like size would've put a ****** wrench into Pac & Floyd's game was Welter Weight Paul Williams. He called Pac out, Arum nor Pac mentioned his name & Floyd decided to take one of those well timed retirements.
Not sure if Shane after Rito wins because he went on to say he never felt power that Manny had, Winky & Forrest 2 bigger guys didn't hit as hard. But If he lands that shot that he got on Floyd, he hurts Pac and attempts to follow up.

No reason to take catch weight fights for titles. I wish he had fought those guys at the prescribed weight, not a desired one.

 

Felix Trinidad at 147.
Hecor Macho Camacho
Pernell Sweet Pea Whitaker

 

meldrick taylor as well

 

Floyd in 2012 for me personally. Or Hamed at 126

 

No, Manny was on another level to Hamed.

 

Floyd and Hamed weren`t in the same league at all.

 

How well do you feel a prime Taylor would have done in the 00`s?

 

Naseem never came close to proving he was an all-time great.

 

All those LW fights are nothing IMO, buncha B-C level fighters.

Pac was busy taking on the likes of cotto, Hatton, odlh, clottey, Margarito, Mosley. Just way bigger names, tougher challenges, different level and bigger guys.

Pretty sure Hatton would have cleaned those lot out at 140 too.

Pac only had 1 fight at 135, which was a shame because he was coming into his prime. Pac at 135 would have been a combination of physical prime and skills prime if he had stayed there.

 

Yes and no! I don't think he could have beaten all those guys. Meaning if he fought all of them, the wear and tear would have been too much. He would have lost along the way.

 

Realistically, Valero or Juan Diaz.

 

I didn't say that. I said I would have loved to see Pacquiao fight them

 

Guzman, Soto, and Diaz (especially Diaz) would have been easy work.

Valero was a complete mystery because we don't know if that power was real. According to Mikey, Valero was the hardest puncher he's ever felt punches from—including Spence.

 

This might be a bit controversial specially cause Valero was bigger but in my opinion Hamed was a bigger puncher than El Inca.

Hamed was probably overrated but when it comes to raw power he was a legit banger one of the hardest punchers in the history of the featherweight division.

With that kind of fight changing power he would be a dangerous fight for Pac specially the careless 126 pound version of Pac , if Hamed managed to caught him lunging in with one of his bombs he could put Pac to sleep.

With that said i would favor Pac but it would be a dangerous fight and far from the walk in the park some think it would be.
