Ray Robinson - at welterweight SRR beats Pacquiao; He also beat him pound for pound
Ray Leonard - at welterweight Pacquiao destroys Leonard if Leonard fights Pacquiao the way he fought Duran in their first fight; if Leonard fights like Leonard/Duran II, Leonard's reach and height would be too much for Pacquiao to overcome and Ray would pot shot him to a close decision. Pound for pound and inch for inch (assuming Ray and Manny were the same height) Manny kills Ray Leonard.
Thomas Hearns - inch for inch (they're both the same height) and pound for pound, Hearns (who got destroyed by Barkley twice) would not stand a chance against Pacquiao; however, if they fought at their respective peaks at welterweight, Hearns beats Pacquiao by unanimous decision. Pacquiao would be too short. However, Pacquiao has a puncher's chance given this scenario.
Aaron Pryor - fighting at jr. welterweight. Pacquiao would have too much versatility. If PacMan fought the Hawk toe to toe, it would be a draw. But Pacquiao can also box. PacMan outpoints the Hawk if he does so.
Pernell Whitaker - If Sweet Pea fights Pacquiao like he fought Roger Mayweather, Pacquiao destroys him rather early. If he boxes Manny, Pacquiao's speed would be too much and Pacquiao is crowned the greatest south paw of all time.
Henry Armstrong - Though high volume punching, Hammerin' Hank was not known for his power. Pacquiao would be too mobile against Hank who was used to fighting guys that just stood there in front of him. Pacquiao KOs Armstrong at any weight between lightweight and especially welterweight.
Roberto Duran - Pacquiao is Duran with 3 times the speed and who can also box. Power-wise, they were both very close. Pacquiao wins on speed and mobility. Duran has the best chance of beating Pac at lightweight. Pac is at least 3 times better than Esteban De Jesus who was not even an all time great.
Oscar De La Hoya - Prime Oskee still gets destroyed. But he would last longer than he did when his plan to fight a tiny Pacquiao at a catchweight backfired on him.
Sandy Saddler - Elorde, who is not half as good as Manny, gave Saddler some good fights. Pacquiao would easily demolish him.
Alexis Arguello - at jr. welterweight, the great Nicaraguan would fare just a little better than Hatton against Pacquiao. Arguello is top 40. Pacquiao is top 10. No contest.
