    Could the best version of Kendall Holt beat Pac at 140?

    He had all of the tools physically, sometimes he didn't show up like I would have liked to see mentally but I think at his best he could possibly beat maybe ko Pac at 140

      Anybody can maybe, its boxing ! it would be extremely unlikely there are classes and with the greats they are in a exceptional class.

        Umm no . Kendall holt is one of my favorites and a hugely underrated puncher but imo pac was at his absolute peak at 140 on his I sane weight jump run and the answer is no , def not. Again iam a huge kendall holt fan and love fighters who win some lose some and end up over achieving . But manny is an ATG and kendall holt likely would not have been a champion if the timing etc wasnt in his favour . He went lige and death with Ricardo torres (- in some of the best action from that era ) and lost everytime he fought someone who was elite . As much as iwas a huge holt fan and supporter , he was not on that level and would have been stopped by manny . He would lose 49 put of 50 times , and that one he could win would be a huge IF . He would have to catch lightning in a bottle and knock manny out .

          Big fan of him too, he was tall for 140, fairly quick had excellent power, but agree he'd probably have to catch Manny coming in too aggressive and very early to have a chance.

          I thought about this watching the fight when he nearly ko'd Bradley

              No no fucc no.

              Kendall Holt in his prime struggled with Ricardo Torres and other B Level fighters.

              Outside of early in his career, Floyd and some robberies Pac ain’t never been beaten like that.

                He’s a have a very small punchers chance at best.

                Holt was a good fighter but Pacquiao is an all time great fighter, it’s a case of levels tbh.

                  That was the fight that really sold me on Bradley as a potential elite fighter, he was hurt bad in that first round and proved he had real grit and metal. The way he went down from that left hook, I thought Holt had iced him.

                    I did too, problem was, looking at the way Holt walked away after the kd, he thought he did too but Timmy came back fighting hard after it. I was very impressed with his him.
