With matchups like these we may as well make it interesting, and ask how it would go from 126 to 140 pounds. They had their stints in every weight class in between that range, and each one could potentially produce a different result based on where they were in their careers at that moment.

For me, Chavez at 130 and 135, Manny at 140. Manny aged better

Julio Cesar Chavez would pick Manny Pacquiao apart. At 130 to 140lbs, I can see few fighters that would beat the mighty Mexican. Pacman is not one of them.

Manny's skills kept noticeably improving as he went up in weights, this is not something you'll commonly see, but you could actually see technical improvements to his game as he got bigger.

I think Chavez at his best is too much for Manny at 130 pounds. At 135 and 140 they'd be hellacious brawls, but I think Pac wins them.

Would've made for awesome fights for sure.

I agreed with JCC Sr beating the Pacman at 130 and 135 lbs fight, but a 50/50 fight at 140 and if they fought at 147, JCC Sr should forget it as the Pacman would hurt him at that weight.

I would favor 2008-2010 Manny over ANY 147 and under in history, except Crawford And Chavez sr.
