Shawn Porter<\/a> has offered his prediction for a fantasy super-lightweight matchup between Shakur Stevenson<\/a> and Manny Pacquiao<\/a>, believing that one man would emerge triumphant in dominant fashion.<\/p>\n

Stevenson successfully completed his first assignment at 140lbs last month, dethroning Teofimo Lopez to claim the WBO title with a one-sided unanimous decision victory.<\/p>\n

But despite his mightily impressive performance, the 28-year-old has admitted that his most natural weight is 135lbs, where his best win came against William Zepeda in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao, meanwhile, produced arguably his most ferocious display at super-lightweight, when he scored a second-round stoppage victory over Ricky Hatton in 2009.<\/p>\n

Back then, the Filipino was coming off an eighth-round finish over Oscar De La<\/a> Hoya, shortly after picking up world titles at super-featherweight and lightweight.<\/p>\n

He would then go on to become an eight-division world champion, claiming notable victories over the likes of Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito at 147lbs and 154lbs, respectively.<\/p>\n

But despite having had just one outing at 140lbs, many believe that this was where Pacquiao\u2019s speed, strength and power were most effective.<\/p>\n

His tremendous engine, in particular, is why former world champion Porter believes that this version of \u2018Pac Man\u2019 would give Stevenson all he can handle.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Hall of Famer has opined on his PorterWay Podcast<\/a> that, effectively, the slick southpaw would not stand a chance against Pacquiao.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think that\u2019s a Pacquiao fight all the way. His engine was different; the entire car was just different, especially at 140[lbs]. He was literally in his prime.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody could keep up with that engine; nobody was ready for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being a four-division world champion, it would appear Stevenson is yet to prove that he can be spoken about in the same breath as pound-for-pound legends such as Pacquiao.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shawn Porter has offered his prediction for a fantasy super-lightweight matchup between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiao, believing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-481535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
