Could Pacquiao have beaten the much bigger Canelo at 154? Keep in mind this is Pacquiao after being knocked out cold by Marquez.
Manny Pacquiao vs. Canelo Alvarez at 154 in 2013.

I’d have picked Pacquiao to have beat the Canelo who Floyd fought.
I think Canelo would have had much more chance of catching Manny than he did Mayweather though.
Pacquiao had definitely declined by 2013 whilst Mayweather was still close to his best IMO. In some ways I think the older version of Mayweather was tougher to beat than the younger version.Comment

Mayweather never attempted high guards with Canelo...goes to show Canelo’s power vs Mayweather using a high guard and walking down McGregor...
Pacquiao loves to use the high guard as defense and isn’t a pure boxer. That’s a no no, and a Roach wouldn’t allow PAC to take such a fight nor would I want that war on Pacquiao. Unless of course PAC diehards or Canelo haters think PAC could be more successful in such an attempt like Duran vs Hearns...
He would get sparked out even earlier than Marquez’s counter.
The only way Pacquiao would have a chance is Margarito weight at 150lbs.Comment
