Pacquiao vs. Trinidad @ 147 in their primes?

I'd favor pac by tough decision but Trinidad would probably hurt Pac bad and punish Pac.

If he uses lateral movement he could win a UD, but anyone that can't see Tito knocking him out at all is dumb

A Trinidad stoppage of Pacquiao is unlikely, in my opinion, only because this fantasy is taking place at 147.

At 147, Pacquiao doesn't square up anywhere near as much as we've seen him do in the lower weights. He moves constantly, in and out of range, and when he's pulling out (no ****), he turns his opponents, like he did to such great effect against Oscar, preventing them from getting off. Trinidad pivots and uses his right back foot for leverage on his right hand. Foreman once commented that he was like a track star, ready to dash at the start of a race. That sort of movement would make his getting leverage close to impossible.

Forget the names and think of their styles: I got the faster, more elusive southpaw. By stoppage.

I'll go Pacquiao by decision.

hoya's jab and hand-speed gave Trinidad trouble. Speed kills, and Manny would wear down Trinidad like he does most of his opponents who aren't highly skilled boxers.

Southpaw + Speed = Pacquiao wins a clear decision. great fight, though.
