140lbs Tourney - The Great Ones

Where in teh **** is Wilfred benitez?

Not at all, Tszyu is way to smart for Pacquio's wrecklessness, Tszyu doesn't get the credit he deserves. The man is like a 140lb Marquez with phenomenal power.

I actually think Pacquiao's recklessness and unpredictability is what would give Tszyu the most troubles, along with his speed because Tszyu is a fighter that relies on timing, the things that Pacquiao does might disrupt Tszyu's rhythm.

JCC is a different monster from Arguello. Arguello need distance to land that straight right hand, JCC would get in on Pryor and break him down to the body. That's how I see it playing out.

Pryor is a beast himself it would be a great battle but i see the other way with pryor standing toe to toe and getting off first!!!

Gayla hoya shouldnt even be in this list so ill take taylor!!!

Pernell an floyd is a tough one to pick but i like pernell more so ill go with him!!!

Kostya has perfect timing an power vs Manny who has speed an power, Kostya imo would stop pac sooner or later!!!

DLH

Pryor..

Umm... Kostya I guess. No...Pac...no, Kostya... No, Pac. lol


wow prime Pernell vs prime Floyd jr. would be crazy.

I think that Sweet Pea has more offense, and more evasiveness.. But Floyd Jr. can block shots better, and pick them off better. But I think when Floyd Jr. chooses to use offense, he's more accurate than Sweet Pea was.

I'ma say...damn...hard to decide. Judging by how Whitaker handled Roger and how much worlds better Jr is than Roger Mayweather.. Floyd Jr. by S.D.

Tszyu did have a good time against guys with lots of speed e.g. Judah Mitchell. I could see him getting rough like in the first Mitchell fight. He seems to have no problem timing southpaws with his right and throw in his body punching VS Hurtado which we know Pac is vulnerable too.

i imagine Manny would make him look real bad for a couple rounds like the 1st vs Judah but with rough house tactics, body punching and the eventual right hand landing it'll be Kostya.

Yeah, Tszyu did good against southpaws but those guys didn't get in and out of range the way Pacquiao does, they don't put their punches together as well as he does and their rhythm isn't as offbeat as Pacquiao's, Pacquiao is a deceptively hard guy to time.

What makes you say he's vulnerable to body shots? The knockout he suffered when he was dehydrating himself to make weight? I mean he's faced big body punches in the past, Morales, Marquez, Barrera and they didn't really slow him up with body punches. No one likes body punches but I don't see Pacquiao being overly sensitive to them.

Meldrick is a speedy boxer, but he lacks the defense to keep De La Hoya's hook off him. Oscar would separate him from his senses at some point for a late round knockout.

JCC's stamina and iron chin were absurd, but his power at 140 wouldn't be enough to wear down Pryor's legendary toughness and stamina. AP would mix in his brawling with his better boxing skills in a war and take a UD.

This is a toss up fight, that like a previous poster said depends a lot on how good Pac's chin is at 140. Tszyu is a lot like the offensive version of JMM. I'll give Pac the benefit of the doubt though and say that his constant movement throws off Tszyu's timing like he did Barrera. Pac SD

Mayweather has trouble against southpaws. Sweet Pea's jab, combination punching, and slickness would be tough on him, but his lack of pop would get Mayweather on the offensive and force him to unleash his underrated arsenal. These guys would land more punches on each other than pretty much any previous opponent. Another close fight, but I got Whitaker by MD.

Pac vs Pryor is a 50-50 to me.

The winner will be urinating blood and the loser will go to the hospital.

A brutal war really.

Afterwards both fighters are shot and will be forced to retire.

Pryor will take PBF heart if they ever fought imo........................
