Pacman is one of my favorite fighters...but I would really like to see him vs a slick/stylist type of fighter...
Marquez was the closest...but even he likes to stand and fight at times and comes forward
DLH
Diaz
Morales
Marquez
Barrera
Larios
Velasquez
Solis
Lucero
Get the common theme here? I'd like to see how he does vs a Kendall Holt, Timothy Bradley, Mayweather Jr, Guzman, Berto & Clottey (probably too big), Campbell
Anyone but another Mexican or brawler
Paq won't just lose 'to a fighter who moves.' Anyone that can put a real fresh punch in his face will put a huge detour through his entire offense. I mean Marquez has average defense when he trades with Paq, and he also has the hands to land his own in an exchange, he has the hands to throw lead hooks to the body against Manny(though it costed him 1 knock down in the second fight, didn't stop him from throwin that punch, he even hurt Manny with that punch), he has the hands to lead with the right, and he has the hands to counter. Oscar should have been next, but the weight loss took his entire body away from him.
Now I'm not sayin Manny would for surely lose to a fighter who can actually fight back, lol but him goin against a fighter who can fight back would definitely paint a different picture of Paq than what we see now.
you're right about one thing, if you can back pac up you can beat him... morales proved that in morales/pac I.
Exaaactly. lol Anyone with common sense can see the choice of fighters Roach is pickin for his fighter. And of course Paq isn't complain, aslong as he's winnin he gets his praises, lol it's not like he's gonna call out the best and the freshest in Boxing.
And I don't care if he fights another Mexican, as long as it's one with a pulse. lol Every other Flip fighter that can bang has been fightin equally fresh Mexican fighters that can bang, and the flip comes up short.
lol And that's all I want to see, Paq in with a fresh Mexican body with a punch. Cause fightin stiff after stiff, I mean has there ever been another fighter in history who has done this and actually got praised for it as much as Paq?
Or is it cause Manny's Asian that people don't think he can pull it off so they consider Manny fightin these stiff's as real fights?
so you mean to say all mexicans that pac fought were dead or bums? oh yeah i forgot every fighter that fights pac becomes shot after signing the contract.

yeah, if I was roach I wouldn't put pac in w/ slick boxers... although defensive fighters who backpedal all the time and play defense all the time might not fair so well w/ pac's activity.
I still till this day say that Joan Guzman would beat Pacman..
I havent seen him fight recently because hes an idiot the blew his opportunity away, but if he still looks sharp in his next fight he still can beat Pac..
However, he fades in the later rounds, and pac is just an animal..
This fight will never happen tho because Guzman was stupid
I like Guzman, but im still turned off by what he did in the campbell fight..
plus he cheated us out of a great fight..

Umm are you saying he only fights nobodies? If so sir PLEASE lay the crack pipe down that shit will kill you.
maybe hatton can jump in a vat of olive oil before he gets in the ring.we don't need to see him with a slick boxer.what kinda bullshit ass idea is that?
True....maybe "slick fighter" is too general...
I guess I was referring to anyone other than another Mexican legend...even Hatton would be quite different
I think Pacman is a decent style matchup for Ricky.
Aside from being a Southpaw whom Hatton has problems with like most fighters. Manny is mainly a straight shooter like Tszyu so that mauling, ugly rutting style would negate Manny's straight left hand. Hatton has problems with guys great at catching him with shorter concise Hooks. Magee, Collazo, Mayweather, Lazcano got him too.
If Hatton has the footspeed to consistantly get inside on Pac without taking to much punishment the way in he could hurt pac on the inside.
It's not a bad fight. Pacman is a far better fighter but Hatton could win it imo.
I wouldn't say Clottey was slick either is Tim Bradley.
To be fair, the only slick guy a guy a superstar like Manny could fight is PBF. Anything else makes zero sense, I know we love boxing, but essentially it is Prizefighting and Manny's legend is set in stone.
