Of course he losses to Tito, Leonard, and Hearns at WW. One can talk about all the skills and power they want. But, they're just too big for Pac. It's not fair to match Pac with any ATG WW's who are natural WW's. Pac is not a natural WW. It is ****** to even discuss such a fantasy match up.
The only one that's close to Pac size. Is Duran, so this match up can be talked about IMO. Now at 135, Duran was just much more of a superior fighter. Pac is a special fighter whether people like to admitted or not. But, Duran was more special as a fighter. Not only was Duran as good if not a better offensive machine than Pac. But, he mixed in defense and counter punching with his offense. Which would be enough to get him by Pac.
At 135, I see it as a war but not a close war. I think Duran wins it pretty handily might even stop Pac. At 147 though I see it as a very close war, where Duran wins a decision.Comment

People forget Duran lasted all fight with and taunted Hagler.
That's right HAGLER. You think Manny would have even stepped in the ring with that monster? No way in hell.Comment

well, it's a fantasy fight, i can see pacquiao getting that straight left in picture perfectComment

I actually think his best chance would obviously be against Duran. The rest of those guys are massive compared to Pacquiao.Comment

Sure he's going to get some in.
Hopkins got some in. Plenty of em. And Tito fell in what? The 12th. From a combination of exhaustion and the pummeling Hopkins was dishing out.
Hopkins is not a KO artist, but he's a full fledged MW.
I don't see Tito being KO'd by Pac, sorry.
Even in a fantasy fight you gotta tell it like it is..Comment

I would be disappointed in Hagler if he got in the ring with Pac. Why would he get in the ring such a small fighter like Pac?
Anyways, if people want to match Pac in fantasy fights. They should do it against guys more his size, like a Duran, Whitaker, Sanchez, JCC, Arguello, Pryor etc etc...Not natural ATG WW's or MW's.
BTW, I think he beats Arguello and Pryor, maybe even JCC. But, those type of match ups are much fair for Pac.Comment

But that's why Duran is so great in history's eyes.Comment
Manny @ 147 is not faster, more skilled or more powerful than a prime Ray Leonard.
