Fight is at bantamweight. At their best at this weight. 15 rounds.

Food for thought when talking about maturity. The Pac Man was a world champion in the flyweight division.

Brent ~
In my opinion, Lupe was a far better fighter than Pacquiao. Manny's mad rushes with his hands down would be met with left hooks to the body and right hands coming over the top. Juan Manuel Marquez proved that Manny has problems with fighters who dig downstairs to the body and the left-hook to the body was forever present in Lupe's arsenal.
I really think that Manny is overrated, his gift draw to Juan Manuel Marquez was a perfect example of this. It's kind of like what's going on with Floyd Mayweather now, fighting fighters who are just out of their prime but proving nothing. Sure Barrera was tough, but he's been in too many wars the same can be said about Morales he mustard up one last go and beat Manny but lost twicw to him and twice badly. Why not fight Marquez again?
If Lupe and Manny fought this fight wouldn't go 10 rounds Lupe would beat Manny to the body and come back with the straight right hand weapons that all trainers alike agree are key weapons to beating a southpaw. Another thing that Pipino would have going for him is his balance, he was always on balance after throwing heavy shots and could come back with harder shots if he missed his opponent unlike Manny who's balance is awful. Every fight Manny has had that has been televised he's always bringing his back leg forward when throwing his hard left hand thus causing himself to be squared up and Lupe would step back and time Manny's mad rushes and drop Manny.
Thanks for the question Brent.

I don't see Pacquiao having a problem with Pintor. Manny would swarm all over Lupe, who was basically a stand up, straight ahead fighter. The angles and power of Pacquiao would get to Pintor early and often.

Good question sir. There are a lot of similarities between these two gladiators. There would be a lot of non stop action as these two fighters engage in many furious exchanges of punches with neither man taking a backward step and very few clinches. Pintor may be a little better at body punching while Pac Man probably has a slight edge in handspeed. I see this being a very competitive and close fight with Pintor winning a split decision with a clamoring for a rematch.

In fighting Zarate, Manny would surely lose because of Zarate's experience and talent in the division. Pintor has experience too, but not as much. Pacquiao is also talented. As much as I hate to say it, I see Pintor winning by unanimous decision. Pacquiao just wasn't matured enough in this division.

Would be an action packed fight. Pintor was tough. I would give the decision to Pintor. He would be able to take Pacquiao's punch.

pac is good, but pintor was all time great. he would have ripped jeff chandler to shreds and he would do same to pacman. his fight with gomez still stands as all time best at 122.
