How do you guys see this one playing out? And at which weight? I know Meehan was once a former flyweight but i dont know the path of his career. Which weight would these two meet at?
i know its a quirky matchup, but they were both at flyweight. One has gone to 150lbs and the other has fought at heavyweight. So you can match them up in a number of divisions. Where was Meehan's main body of work at? Was he a powerful puncher? Based on not much knowledge of Meehan and footage of Pacquiao, taking a stab in the dark, im of the mind that Pacquiao would decision the version of Meehan who took Dempsey to school over 4 rounds
According to boxrec Willie Meehan's birth name was Eugene Walcott Apart from the obvious boxing Walcotts, another famous Eugene Walcott was 'Louis Eugene Wolcott', aka Louis Farrakhan. This explains why Dempsey had trouble with him. As we all know, Dempsey was freaked by anything that even suggested blackness in a fighter.
