Prime DLH vs. legit 147 version of Prime Pacquiao @ 147?

boxingsmash6917y ago

simple question, if the prime 147 delahoya fought a natural 147 version of pacquiao, who wins? their height/reach doesn't change, though. - would delahoya be able to hurt this pacquiao? - would this pacquiao be able to hurt delahoya? (what about to oscar's body?) - would pacquiao's workrate be too much for oscar, who has always had stamina issues? - could pacquiao handle delahoya's boxing skills? - could pacquiao handle delahoya's height/reach advantage? let's face it, the only reason we hate the oscar/pac fight, is because of the huge weight difference, right? imagine if weight wasn't an issue.... I got delahoya by close SD, in a FOTY candidate.

Well, so Manny is still short and yet he weighs in naturally at 147? Shouldn't he be a slightly bigger build and frame if that were the case? i highly agree with you, but we will never know just how much height/reach he should be at. so i just went with his current height/weight. yes, a natural 147 pounder guy with manny's frame is a little freakish, lol look at david tua's 5'10 ass at heavyweight. damn!

yup, that's what i meant, ms. charmaine mateo. who is this charmaine mateo you refer to ... charmane starr? well anyways my friend, my opinion is delahoya will lose by tko. pacs power and speed wil be enough for him to dominate 147 if he was a natural 147lb fighter and probably even be enough for him to move up to 154lb.. well consider that division now and seeing the champ is SERGIO MORA. just my opinion

what do you mean by natural when you refer to a natural 147 pacquiao...would that mean pacquiao was a natural 126lb fighter n then he moved up to 130 n 135 n won titles there?..if thats the case then a "natural" 147lb pacquiao would be able to have his power move up to the 154 division and dominate people with speed and power? yup, that's what i meant, ms. charmaine mateo.
