Pacquiao is in against one of the most well rounded fighters in boxing, and he is much shorter, whereas Robinson was taller, He is less technically skilled whereas Robinson was vastly superior in technique to Lamotta. Robinson has a great chin, and has never truly been knocked out, Pacquiao has been. Pacquiao is a warrior, but is he a Robinson type warrior? I am not sure anyone these days is, but he is as close as they come, but there are too many factors playing against him, for Pacquiao to be a favorite, I think its closer than Calzaghe-Jones, and less of mismatch, but the outcome could be much more devastating.
