Sorry ICB, but how is Manny one dimensional? The same way Miguel Cotto and JMM are? Pacquiao can box, brawl, fight forwards and backwards, he is getting hard to hit, he has great movement, speed, power, and a really good chin.
We are talking about the Manny Pacquiao, at Super Bantamweight, Featherweight, here. Which is where this fight would take place. Were not on about the Manny Pacquiao of today, im not calling the Manny Pacquiao of today one dimensional.
Ok, that makes sense, but you can't say that Manny isn't/wasn't extremely effective at 122/126 because he was, and he would have been a great opponent for Gomez. I honestly think he would also give Sanchez and Azumah Nelson all they could handle if not more, they aren't any better than Barrera and company. I think they wouldn't have the power to stop Pacquiao like Gomez would, and that would play a huge factor, but then again they could also take a lot more punishment than Gomez.

As for the person who said Gomez didn't ahve power above 122? Where is the proof of that? He didn't have the blinding speed to move like Pacman did which is the main reason for Manny's success at the higher weights. Nor did Gomez imo have Manny's chin. I just think Manny has adapted the right style to fight bigger guys and he properly uses his attributes. Because he uses so much movement and he has such quick feet he can avoid on coming damage against bigger slower guys that other guys like JMM who are at his level couldn't.
