Both fighters held major world titles in a very deep weight class, 122, where PauliE Ayala was the Ring Champion
Although Paulie was the man, I favored Manny, Larios, and Vazquez over him if they ever met
Vazquez may not be an all-time great in most eyes, but IMO he had an all-time great heart, grit, enough skills, and power to give any great fighter between 118-126 hell....imo he is a top ten all time great junior featherweight
Vazquez is best known for his 4- fight series with Rafael Marquez who he went 2-2 against, he went 2-1 vs very good Oscar Larios, and also has wins over current featherweight titlist JHonny Gonzalez, and former titlists Jorge Elicier Julio, Jose Luis Valbuena, etc
Id favor Pacquaio slightly, seeing that he was the more physically gifted of the two with athleticism, IMO Vazquez would be physically stronger but he cut a lot and could be hurt.
I'd say Pacquaio stops him late on cuts after giving us one of the greatest fights in junior featherweight history
