He can't beat Marquez clearly so how the hell would he beat Whitaker, Benitez, Duran, Leonard and Hearns?

Is Pacquiao the worst fantasy fighter of all time?

Benitez was lazy as **** and barely trained but would be a stylistic nightmare due to his headmovement, reflexes and counter punching.
If he comes in welltrained Benitez outboxes him easy, but if he didn't train well for the fight then Pac has a chance.
Pac has a chance against Duran due to speed and chin even do Duran could effectivly counter punch at times, Pac's speed and combination punching, workrate + chin could give him a good chance of winning that fight

Its backlash. Manny is a great fighter but his fans overrate him and put him in fights with men who would be tall orders for anyone and especially for someone with his height.

Pac couldn't outbox Duran and he couldn't outbrawl him either. Pac has superior speed but timing beats speed and Duran had superior timing and fighting instinct.

Are there any HOF or ATG he can win on a Fantasy Fight?
It's because he's constantly asked to fight guys like Hearns, Robinson, Duran, Leonard, Whitaker etc etc in fantasy fights. He just doesn't beat these guys. He's great, no one ever says he's not, but there are fighters that beat him much, much worse than Morales or Marquez did.
He beats or has great even fights against guys like Nelson, Arguello, Chavez, Sanchez, Galaxy etc. He's not an ATG 135, 140, 147 fighter. The guys there are bigger and either as good or better. If he takes a beating, while winning easily at the same time from someone like Cotto, how does he possibly stand up against guys like Duran, LEonard, Hearns etc. If he gets baffled and turned in circles by someone as predictable ad straight ahead as Marquez how does he beat Whitaker?
He does win fantasy fights, he just doesn't win the ****** ****ing idiotic ones that are like pitching Hatton against Klitschko.
Come on, Pac vs Hearns and people argue that Pac doesn't get a fair shake when everyone says Hearns knocks him out? Give us a break!Last edited by BennyST; 12-06-2011, 08:40 AM.

This is just a myth.
That has risen because people pick guys like Robinson, Armstrong, Duran, Leonard, Hearns etc over him so people say 'Pac always loses Fantasy fights'
He doesn't. Just recently Pac was leading the poll quite widely in a fantasy fight between him and Chavez. I picked for Pac aswell.
Pac wins plenty of fantasy fights. Just not against the ones that would obviously beat him.
Almost any knowledgable fan would pick all of those fighters over Mayweather and any other active fighter also.

If we're talking about peak Benitez vs peak Pacquiao, come on you already know what the outcome would be.
Pac couldn't outbox Duran and he couldn't outbrawl him either. Pac has superior speed but timing beats speed and Duran had superior timing and fighting instinct.
you say he couldn't beat marquez so how could he beat....
like their styles are similar to marquez, you're a ****in idiot plain and simple
