Pac. Too fast.

[Mushroom]

Pac would knock him out.........

I thinkMatthyse has a better chin and body ppunchingwould be key

[bojangles1987]

I'd give Matthysse a puncher's chance. He has the stamina to be there late and if Bradley can shake Pac, Matthysse can.

Pac should beat Matthysse comfortably, and I'd expect him to.

[pnksntdead]

Pac by unanimous decision, barring him being dragged into a full brawl which favors lucas at this point

[Larry the boss]

Manny beats his ass

I don't know. Matthysse might hit too hard at this stage in Pac's career... I'm not going to fool myself into thinking Pac is the same Pac that fought hatton... He's been at 147 for quite a bit, no way do I believe Pac (with as lean as he is) would be as strong at 140 as he used to be due to having to lose weight.

I've resigned myself to the fact we'll likely never see Pac KO anyone again and I'm not delusional enough to think he stops a strong, young and sturdy fighter like Lucas. If this wasn't Pac and I wasnt such a big fan I'd side with the younger, elite big punchers over Pac but out of respect i'd call it a toss up. Pac isnt going to stop Prov, Danny or Lucas... Let's not kid ourselves.... There's a higher chance of him being stopped by them than the other way around..

To be perfectly honest I don't think Pac would be able to take Danny's big left hook in an exchange or Prov's tenacity (though Prov gets hit the most of the three and does have an easily marked up face) or Lucas' power and pressure. Guys, Pac isn't the same fighter anymore... He's not going to tank these shots like he did 5 years ago..he's not skilled enough to NOT get hit consistantly over a whole fight and his chin just isnt the same. With all due respect to Pac... Rios isn't in the same class as the top 3 140 pounders... Power, speed, or skill wise.

I think Pac would be winning the rounds but Lucas the war.

It's hard to predict who gonna win between Lucas and Manny. With Manny slowing down a bit and his reflexes is not it used to be he will get tag and tag often and might get stop by Lucas. But if Manny uses his footworks and feint and head movement and not get caught on the ropes, he will punish Lucas and if Manny somehow landed a perfect body shot, he might put Lucas away. But it will be a tremendous fight with low reward as far as monetary is concern on Packys side.

Manny would hit hard at 140 and he is still too fast for Lucas. Not even going to get into the foot work.
