    How would Manny get on against these guys

    How would Manny get on against these guys.

    Duran 147
    Leonard 147
    Hearns 147
    Mosley (Prime)
    DLH(Prime)

    The reason i ask is because my girlfriend was asking me how i think he would get on against these. I said Duran(147) to even it out a bit because Pacquiao did not have a long period at 135 and he was not the same fighter below that. Im not sure but i dont think Duran ever fought at 140, so that is another reason why i picked 147.

    I think he could beat Duran because Duran was never that great at cutting the ring down and with Manny's fast feet/speed/angles he could dart around Duran and give him lots of trouble.

    Leonard is too much for him though imo, too much skill, power, toughness.

    I dont think Manny would fair well on the end of Hearns's power punches and he would find it harder to get inside because of how short he is, Leonard was a tall WW and he had trouble with Hearn's reach.

    Mosley too strong, powerfull, quick, skilled, durable.

    After seeing last nights performance i tend to think that Manny would give DLH all he could handle even in his prime. I dont know who to pick on this one.

    How do you see these match ups?

    He loses to all of them by a lop-sided beatdown.

      Hearns would wipe the floor with Pacquiao the other fights are more debatable.

        DLH(Prime)
        Duran by somewhat competitive decision...I think Pac's speed would give Duran some trouble and the weird angles...Duran could punch tho...I don't think Pac could hurt Duran..Duran would smile at those flurries

        Leonard TKO within 10 rounds...

        Hearns mops the floor with Pacquiao

        Mosley wins in a competitive fight...

        The closest fight of all of them IMO= DLH by SD...or Pacquiao...old ass Pernell nearly beat prime Oscar...prime Pacquiao deff can although Pac isn't as good as Pernell...

            @MoneyM = hater

            @The Executioner - your opinion is the same as MoneyM but with bits of explanation, well that's your opinion. You said, 'Pac's speed would give Duran some trouble and the weird angles' and you counter it by saying 'I don't think Pac could hurt Duran..Duran would smile at those flurries' I'm lost at that!

            How can Duran smile at pinpoint hard punches he cannot see? Cotto never saw that hybrid left upper-cross Manny landed that put him on all fours. Versus Duran, Pac by KO under 8 IMO or cuts (ref/doc stoppage).

            Against Leonard, that's 60-40 in favor of Leonard IMO, both have speed and power though I'm leaning towards Pac on speed and footwork.

            Hearns, this is gonna be bold, Pac KO's Hearns under 3 only if Pac can laser guide a left to the Hitman's chin. If not, Hearns by demolition or Pac by UD (if he doesn't brawl with Hearns)

            Mosley, before the Pac-Cotto fight I thought Mosley would eat Pac for breakfast but after the fight I changed my mind. Pac eats Mosley for dinner.

            Dela Hoya, this is a 70-30 in Pac's favor, Hoya is a great welter and can't be 6 division champ for nothing. But Pac's overall athleticism and skills owns the Golden Boy IMO.
