Aaron Pryor vs Manny Pacquiao

[nikola_ganchev]

Probably an all time dream match up. Pac usually destroys anyone who's willingly engage at him.

Pac by KO

All the fighters that Packman has fought are making one and the same... Aaron has very good defence, increadible movement, he is fast, he boxes fondamentally correct and it's needed he can make speed stuff too. He was extremely skillfull fighter and you can't compare him to Óscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton and so on. And not to forget that Manny is not a one punch KO guy where Alexis Arguello was and he couldn't hurt Pryor!

I don't see how Pack can do anything to Aaron. Pryor will win with something like KO in the 6th or faster!

I find hard that to believe. With his over aggressive style and tenacity, he will get cold cock by a left uppercut from quick hard punching southpaw. Plus Aaron didn't have someone like a 4-time BWAA Trainer of the Year Roach.

Ok I'm assuming were talking at 140lbs here and a 12 round fight. I guess the biggest question I have is how good is Manny's chin? I can't remember him hurt or stunned in a fight, even when he moved up to 147 so I'm guessing it's pretty damn good. This would be an amazing fight and I'm a huge Pryor fan but I could see this like the 2nd Marquez fight, very, very close fight, even if they fought a few times. I'd lean very slightly towards Manny. If they fought 5 times I could see it 1-1-3 actually. Too close to call.

It's too bad Manny Pac wins only in real fights.... In this and other hypothetical scenario fights, he loses 'em all very badly, mostly by stoppages, RSC's or KO's!

[nikola_ganchev]

I am not sure that Roach is that great and that if he is in your corner you are unbeatable

First Aaron don't go directly in. He moves increadible and to land any punch on him is a difficult task!
Manny has only streight forward offence. He does not have chin and deffence! He is beating all this non skilled guys because they play the same game and he is faster, but Aaron didn't play that game Aaron will make the same with Pac like he did it with Arguello, but faster because of the lack of deffence!

This would be a sensational fight at there best. I go with Pryor with the magic bottle.

Pac withstood flush shots from Margarito, Clottey and Cotto why cant he take a flush shot from a 140 lb Pryor. Pac hurt Margarito, Oscar and Cotto why can't he hurt a 140 lb Pryor.

[THE THIRD MAN]

The magic bottle stains Pryor's career for me, i was a big fan. Pryor was careless, he got dropped, he would rush in with reckless abandon, not a good tactic against Manny Pacquaio. Salvador Sanchez V Manny Pacquaio is one dream match too!

[nikola_ganchev]

I am going to say it this way. He hurt this Mexican heavy bags (i know that not all of them comes from there). Even my girlfriend will hurt you after 12 rounds of non stop pounding!
All of the Pacmans fights were against fighters who boxed on their frond leg. This means they is boxing upon instincts and speed! It's simple as this Pac was faster! He can punch them all night long and they can't do anything becouse they can't move!
See the way Aaron is boxing is really different from this fighters! He is boxing from his back leg! He has the moves! He goes in all directions! He rows with the shots! He is extreamy fast! He has the knowhow! He has the stamina! He has the power!

I want to mention that if this mexican punchingbacks box that way and get that type of pounding this means that they take it in training too! You make for yourself the conclusions!

To answer this very compelling question, Kanankrus has aptly said it. In hypothetical fights, manny, more often than not, would lose his fights especially if the analysis comes from his haters. So, I'd rather talk about actual fights and how Manny fared against them.

[nikola_ganchev]

First the thread is hypotethical and if you don't like it don't go inside! Second i have never said that he will lose to a mexcan punching bag. What i said is that he is never faced a fighter of the rang of Pryor!
