Leonard is an actual WW... so if you ask me if Mayweather with his NOW style at 47 and Pacquiao now at 47 could beat him I don't think so... I think he would win against both decisions...

      But if Floyd and Pac would fight at 147 like they did in their natural weight classes and had the same power they had at their natural weight... both could have a chance... never seen Ray Leonard against a fast southpaw (I don't cound the Camacho fight) and Floyd is fundamentally more sound then Leonard... it will be hard for Pacquiao though because Leonard is fast moving... and we will see how Manny does against someone who is fast and doesn't engage him...

      at 147 Leonard wins
      if Pacquiao would be the 130 Pacquiao I give him a shot but would still favor Leonard.
      Leonard could never fight @ 130, but it's really beside the point. The poll is for the fight @ 147 and a lot of Pac fans chose him still. I just wanted to point out how greatly last impressions influence casual and hardcore fans.

      Like I said, Pac deserves a mountain of credit, but it's just got a little out of hand.

        This thread was made to point out exactly how blown up the Manny Pacquiao phenomenon has become. People who have barely started watching boxing, god bless them, seem to believe Manny is some crazy, unbeatable asian sensation like Bruce Lee with no flaws and couldn't possibly be beaten.

        And, while I do have massive respect for Pacquiao and think his accomplishments are extraordinary, this has just become lunacy.

        Pac is definitely an all time great, but to say he's top ten or could beat a fighter like SRL @ 147 is just ignorance, yet some new or blinded fans can still see it that way. I know it's a hypothetical matchup that obviously could never happen, but it really takes some nuts to come on here and pick Pacquiao on this poll , yet there were a lot of members who did.

        That's just scary and I wanted to get the point across to really watch out who we are dealing with........

        NOW WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA> just go click on the number next to Pacman's name and reveal the priceless knowledge I've blessed us sane members with.

        Just thank me later, lol.

        You want to judge people based on a fantasy fight which cannot be proven?

        Do you think that no one can beat SRL in these era? if not can you name them?

        Why not judge them based people on a fight that already happened like Pac-Hatton?

              That's because Duran and Hearns are better than Pacquiao...

                Is it an opinion or a fact?

                      That's fine...anyone can have an opinion...

                      I don't think Pac should be put in any ring near Hearns...
