We're talking prime, which in reality isn't possable so you go to the next stage and compare them at an equal weight, at there best.

Or Pacquiao fights Tapia when he was at 112-15 and loses to Tapia. Or Tapia fights Pacquiao at 126 and Tapia loses.

Amazing.. i cant belive it but i agree. lol

If we're talking about the mythical pound for pound match up then Tapia wins. If it is a realistic match up where Tapia is fighting Pac at a higher weight then it's more likely Pacquiao wins.

Did someone say Pacquiao wins because his speed would be too much for Tapia??!! I'm afraid while Pac is fast, Tapia is quite a bit faster. Also a much more skilled boxer.

In my book Tapia wins a UD if he doesn't go wild and outboxes Pacquiao.
No need to argue about that with a philipine

i've seen alot of tapias fights and he is a beast, he has good power, even if he would have moved up to lightweight seriously he would have made more then a dent in that weightclass. i meen damn he's mostly a street fighter, that's where he learned to fight in the street. but his skills as a boxer were something to study, mix them together and that's tapia. a fight between pac and tapia would be a really good fight. pac don't back down, and tapia has never backed down, or delayed fights cause of injuries, blood and guts was tapia, a man that actually liked to get hit. it's just too bad tapia is too old and drugged out to fight anymore, would have been a good showing at any weight.
