Pacquaio is hittable, but not that hittable, and has very quick hands. Barrera tried to unload on him and turn the fight, and he got the shit beaten out of him. Now I know Barrera was unfocussed etc, but one thing Barrera can be beaten by is handspeed, it's why Jr Jones gave him so much trouble, and it's why Morales is a good opponent for him, because he isn't very quick.
For every shot Scott landed on Manny, he'd be taking 3 in return, with interest. I don't favour him against Pacquaio, if he was a bigger puncher I'd give him a shot.
Chi, pick 'em fight for me. Brodie, Scott is favourite, but not overwhelming in my book.
Scott Harrison is this needed for him to suceed???

Oh yeah he'd be a very long shot with PacMan, but it would likely be a great fight, and if he's going to lose against one of the top boys, he might as well lose in a blaze of glory. Plus there's always the faint chance he just might win - Manny has been shocked in a few fights in the past ( weight issues I know, but you hear he doesn't train too hard at times )
