This would be really interesting. At the lower weights Pacquiao was just a bundle of energy but he was also more one dimensional. Garcia had a lot of power for his size and a more methodical approach. It would depend on Garcia being able to catch Pacquiao bouncing in and out. Or if he would be able to deal with Pacquiao's speedy combos. I would slightly favor Pacquiao.

Pacquiao and mikey used to spar when manny fought at 126. I think they had some video up on max boxing years ago, pacman sparred some beasts when he fought at 126, he rotated between izzy Vasquez, urbano antillion, mikey garcia and jorge linares , robert guerrero, mike anchondo, and some other too prospects coming up.
I remember mikey said edwin valero hit him the hardest, but edwin was a douche bag he would go full blast in sparring, so of course he would hit hard i remember edwin snapping urbano antillions head side ways and edwin threw all his power in the exchange which is nothing but a douche bag move and ego boosting. Sparring is meant to get work in for a fight, you are not there to knockout or hurt the fighter causing him to get badly injured having to pull out, you are helping before his big fight, valero did the same thing to oscar he gave him a black eye and went full blast before the pac fight. I wouldnt want valero as a sparring partner the guy doesnt know the meaning of sparring everything is a fight to him.Comment

In my opinion Pacquiao would win by KO. Garcia would put up a decent fight but that version of Pacquiao was a better fighter than Mikey is or ever will be in my opinion. The winner of fantasy fights can never be proven so there is no right or wrong answers. There are only guesses and opinions. That's just my opinion. I mean no disrespect to Garcia and he is a very good champion.Comment

Pac can't beat that type of counter punching with high boxing IQ and power.
But, it will depend on how Mikey responds to Pac's power. If Mikey can take it as well as Marquez and not let it deter him from his game too much, he would decision Pacquiao.Comment

Pacquiao gets ****ing wrecked, lol
Disagree if you want, a case can be made that Juan Manuel Marquez beat Pacquiao for times; to drive the point further, Marquez didn't have the success he had due to his size, speed, power, or any other physical gift you can point to. He won off of his and Nacho Beristan's boxing brains.
Big G, Robert, and Mikey all know what Pacquiao is/was; an aggressive/bordering on reckless fighter who hung his hat on his sheer belief in his left hand.
Neutralize the left hand, and then walk Pacquiao onto puncheComment
