    if only Zab has the power, he could have beaten Floyd, the problem is he gassed out prematurely just like Maidana 1

    Who's the best guy in the world being Manny Pacqauio?

    'Manny Pacqauio is the best in the world at fighting like Manny Pacqauio'- Algeri

    You heard him.

    His uppercut is up there with all Pac's best shots.

    :nut what makes you say that?

    Pac has 10 times the power zab will ever have and this has been proven.

    You just said zab's uppercut is up there with pac's best shots....

    Are you honestly telling me Zabs uppercuts are comparable to Pac's left hand yes the left hand that put many elite level fighters down or out?

    In pound for pound terms no but straight up yes.


    Judah's a natural welterweight and possesses a very hard uppercut when he lands it. Many times it has bailed him out in fights he was losing and scored one-shot kayos.

    Pacquiao is a smaller man with more pound for pound thunder in his fists and more evenly distributed power in both hands, but no, I wouldn't say anything he throws is going to be that much harder than a full-force Zab Judah uppercut landing flush.

    Getting stoppages isn't just about power. Pacquiao has stopped more elites than Judah because of his style. He's much busier and more disciplined & conditioned to keep up a high pace throwing aggressive fast combinations than Judah. (who is up there in speed as well as comparable in straight-up power, but prefers to pot shot and conserve energy and has less of a bombastic style)

    YDKSAB and just got schooled. I'll gladly take that shiny red apple any time now. :)

    Yea if you put it like that it kind of explains it.

    Pac is indeed the smaller man but he hits much harder than judah i think anyone who sees both fighters fights will come to that conclusion.

    While i do agree judah landing his flush uppercut may be harder than Pac's soft right hook i can say with full confidence Pac has much more punching power than jab overall this as i see it is not even debatable.

    Judahs upercut landing flush is not comparable to Pacquaio landing his straight left down the pipe.

    It is, actually. Every punch Gennady Golovkin throws is harder p4p (IMO) than Wladimir Klitschko's right cross, but they aren't as hard straight-up. There's a difference; size matters.

    p4p most of Pacquiao's shots (at least the power ones) are probably harder than Judah's uppercut. Straight-up they're all in the same ballpark.

    Both clottey and cotto were not impressed with zabs power at all infact both beat the hell out of him.

    a) Clottey has a legendary chin.

    b) When did Judah uncork his best shot on Cotto's jaw? Cotto forced the pace and Judah reluctantly fought his fight. Judah did land and have success but he never got his money punch on Cotto.
