pacquiao's place as this era's greatest fighter of the welterweight division is yet to be solidified. pacquiao said himself that he plans to fight for a few more years before finally hanging up his gloves and i think pacquiao would only fight in the welterweight division. at this point in time, to be realistic, what is left for pacquiao in the 147 weight class other than mayweather. who better to face pacquiao than the greatest welterweight of all time, sugar ray robinson.
no need for introductions but for those who've lived under a rock for the past century, robinson was untouchable in the welterweight division and beat 15 hall of famers during his boxing career. he had deadly accuracy especially with his right hand and was a very methodical genius in the ring.
as for pacquiao, he has all the qualities of an ATG but mostly would have an edge in the speed and volume punching department against robinson.
as the bell rings, pacquiao will be the aggressor and would take a page right out of the lamotta-robinson 2 fight. from the opening bell up until the middle rounds, both fighters will have their moments with pacquiao throwing a hundred punches per round while robinson uses his ring IQ and reach to try to catch pacquiao coming in. both fighters having an iron chin, sustains a back and forth exchange with no clear winner. in the late rounds, as the pace slows down, robinson gradually inches ahead of the score cards. knowing this, pacquaio lets loose a barrage of 5-8 punch combinations and tries to land a big shot but to no avail. as the final bell rings, the winner is declared and robinson wins by split decision.

This post really made me laugh. Are you being serious, I think you are but I really can't tell?This fight would be wrong for Pacquiao in almost every possible way. That's all there really is to say.
