Pacman could hang with and/or beat anyone who ever laced the gloves up at 147. And this is not from me, this is from me asking people who followed the sport of boxing since the 60-70's. Take it as you may.

Pacquiao vs Hearns

Hearns, bigger, stronger and harder hitting. Pacquiao may get in and land a few shots but that Hearns jabs and those moving feet would just keep Pac out of range for too long. Could be a KO win but I'm thinking more a wide UD.

A bodyshot from shot to hell Margarito made him sit on the ropes.
A right from JMM made him go to sleep on his face.
Hearns would EASILLY catch Pac pulling out or falling in.
Manny would never get past the jab...you can't miss him with a right hand...that's why he cant even beat JMM.
Hearns is just too much for JMM's leftovers.

The Marquez punch was a freak one. Pacquiao was reckless, launched in with a desperate Marquez tripped over his foot and landed chin first in to a hail mary of a punch.
Bradley and Marg punches hurt but this is boxing that is what punches do.
Pacquiao fights this fight much like his approach to fighting Oscar. He won't look for anything big himself, and will just look to stay out of Hearns's power.
Very difficult given the reach and height advantages of Hearns, but Pacquiao fast footowork, his lateral movement and fast hands make him have the tools to do the job.

Originally posted by One more round View PostIt goes a bit deeper than "he's too big". Hearns has the best jab and right hand of all time. He had all the other punches too, fast hands and very accurate. He knocked out cold guys at 160 and 175. He was a true bonafide power puncher...im done here.
He was fast, but Pacquiao is faster.
And in this fight Hearns is weighing in at 145lbs. There won't be much in it weight wise.
