Pacman is just too great of a boxer. I mean he trains daily, even when he doesn't have a fight to train for. I just don't think he can be defeated inside of his division. The only boxer i think still has a shot of beating him is JMM, i do believe he won the 2nd match by 1 round. If they fought a third time, i would go for JMM. Who in your mind in the 130-154 LB division has a shot to beat pacquia. (I got my bet on Pacman over Hatton).
At this time, I think you really have to have power and knock Manny out to win a fight with him. The last time he lost a decision was with Morales.
JMM doesn't have the power to do this below 140 and if you're going to say Mayweather, then you should be able to say Cotto, Mosley and PWill, because like Mayweather they are all WW. These guys would be too strong for Manny.
The only logical choice would be Hatton at 140 and below. If we see a new and improved Hatton with a back-up plan, he might just knock Manny out.
thats not true he doesnt train much when hes not fighting, thats mayweather u talking about..and YES mayweather would destroy pacquiao inside 7 rounds..floyd is fitter and got a million times more talent that pacquiao.
well marquez in some minds have beaten pac....so it could be him...i think anybody at 147 that elite ko's manny brutally....and floyd, jr...outboxes him 117-111 in decisive fashion.....oh
and there is only one ricky hatton
You could be certain Pac aint going back to 130 and very unlikely even 135. He is the star now with bargaining power and he will would fight JMM at 140 and attempt to get PBF at 140 but might have to be at 147.
I think he could beat Shane at 147 but its not like shane wouldnt have a good chance. I would pick PBF to beat Pac at any weight. JMM-Pac I might favor Pac but its near 50-50. Even Hatton-Pac I have near 50-50 and keep changing my mind.
Manny Pacman showed he was fast at 147, so he should have good speed at 140. Juan Manuel Marguez on the otherhand should be slower at 140. So Pacquiao should have the edge in 140. Ofcourse a lucky shot can stop any fighter.
I think his speed has improved since he moved to lightweight. At 140 i really believe he will be the fastest he's ever been.
Mayweather Jr would destroy Pacquiao, I think Cotto, Margarito & Mosley would also defeat him, not because he is a best p4p means he can match with bigger guys, that's why is pound per pound!
I still think Joan Guzman has the tools to beat Pacquiao. But realistically I doubt the fight will ever happen and Guzman has himself to blame for that.
I don't know if there is anyone else besides Mayweather.
And if you noticed they both have similar styles. I think that's what will beat pacman - an insanely slick & fast fighter with great defense.
PACMAN and PBF have similar styles ?? I Dont think soPACMAN depends alot on jumping in and jumping out floyd is a defense wizard
At 140 in a 3rd fight I favor Pac, but JMM is mos def capable of winnin. Mr boat buyer would beat him there too. Any prime WW beats him.

Mang, Do you think it's possible that the move up in weight has benefited JMM more than it has benefited Pac? Marquez seems to have MUCH improved power at 135.
Yeah...I know Casamayor was old...but my man had never been hurt like that. Had Diaz ever been down before?
I ain't knockin JMM's game, it's just that he's been in some roughass fights in succession and has more recent damage on him than Pac headin into a potential 3rd fight.

lol any top guy at 147-154 would beat pac,sorry 2 burst ur bubble
Damn you guys think fighters are invincible. I think Floyd could beat any fighter out there, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if he got his ass kicked.
Speaking of that Floyd will put it on him come fight time.
