How will the 130-140 versions of Pacquaio do in today's divisions?

Broner gives a good account of himself against Pacquiao and Marquez at 140 right now. Most likely loses against Pacquiao, but his style would be great against Marquez. Marquez still>Pacquiao though. This is just a styles make fights situation.
The Pacquiao who showed up against Marquez last Saturday, beats the current Broner at 140. That Pacquiao was no joke aside from getting caught twice. That was the best Pacquiao i've seen since the Cotto fight. He was winning clearly 5 rounds to 1. His clearest road to victory against Marquez of all 4 fights, he got careless though.Comment

"Easy" is an overused word around here. Fights between the top fighters in any division are rarely ever easy. Manny is an ATG, so he'd certainly do well; but he would be challenged and even beaten by one or two guys. Losing is a part of the game. One can argue that the only undefeated fighters never fought the best opposition.Comment

I really think highly of Gamboa, but he would get slaughtered. Way too open and too prone to lapses throughout a fight to deal with Pacquiao. You have to be able to fight at a certain pace, or have the defense to prevent fighting at that pace, to have any chance against prime Pacquiao.Comment

Maybe you're right. I just love the idea of two heavy-handed, athletic, fast-as-lightening fighters going at it. Pac is an ATG, while Yuri has barely even started that campaign.I really think highly of Gamboa, but he would get slaughtered.
