I think this would be the least considered candidate as Pacquiao's next fight, with the other two being against JMM and Tim Bradley. Who would win between Pacquiao and Zab Judah? Vote and comment.
Zab has been one of my all time favorites. I think he'd have moments of success, and even hurt Manny a few times. I think his defense is much improved. But in the end, I see Manny by late TKO or UD. I see it much better than any of Manny's recent opponents.
Same situation with Mosley. Zab has a puncher's chance the first few rounds. Outside of that, he's a punching bag for Pacquiao. Pacman beats him to a bloody pulp.
Lets see JMM vs Judah, winner fights pac at 140. Btw, I think its a horrible matchup for Judah. Pac TKO in 6. Maybe he gets hurt and dropped along the way. Buts hes simply got too much of everything for Judah.
I know Judah looked rejuvinated in has last fight,but i think your getting a little to excited here.... Even a prime WW version dont last that long... This fight would end up like Zabs other fights with elite opponents (Tszyu,Mayweather) Zab does good early and again shows that in the early rounds hes just as good or even a llttle better.. And onece again he gets whupped... THis one ends early... Good fight the first couple rounds as Judah shines in moments and proves to be at least as fast as Manny. , with Pernell in his corner Judah is also figthing more disciplined and trying to out slick Pac.. But that approach will just delay things for a couple rounds. Zab might be Floyd or Pernells equal in athletic ability,natural talent...But he isn not on the same planet as them when it comes to being slick .. Zab can look slick against a run of the mill guy or mediocere contender, but Pac figures him out within 3 rounds tops. As soon as he gets thru he will hurt him and end it quick.. Pac ko 4 or 5 rounds,,, I also think you are either overrating Zabs power or underestimating Pacs chin.. Dont get me wrong hes quick enough to get through and stun Pac.. but hurt him badly? No even if he did Pac si the type that wont show it, he would just fight fire with fire if that happend,and that would just mean Judah would be going meeting the canvas even sooner.
I dont think Zab punches as hard as Shane, although Zab stiil lhas his speed... Zab isnt tough enough to be a puching bag, especially against Manny.. TO get beat to a bloody pulp you have to absorb some punishment for a while... Were talking Zab here not margarito,Mosely,clotttey? Those guys were only able to absorb a beating because they are known for their excellent chins and also naturally bigger... Pac hits sharp and hard puncher against big Ww and JMs. At JW he punches like a beast, if Pac regularly fought at JW against JWs , i think people would be calling him the biggest puncher pfp..
Manny could beat Zab, Floyd and Triple F (*****s Fantasy Floyd) aka the outbox anyone g.o.a.t. in the same night.
