Zab has faster one shot hand speed, greater one shot power and greater one shot accuracy than Pac does. The better question would be has Pac faced a guy as fast as PBF before?:deal
Don't reply to Swann. She's a moron. Famous quote by Swann. "Wladimir is a coward because he doesn't stop his opponents faster"
Marquez is not Pacquiao's leftovers and thats ridiculous. Pac is fighting the only one out of the two that can be considered a "leftover". Cotto's the one that was brutally beaten and stopped.
there's a difference between objectivity and subjectivity... subjectivity is what you guys are using... you think just because zab had these one punch knockouts (that's not necessarily a measure of speed), he's faster than pac. but i've seen zab fight and i've seen pac fight on film (which is a measure of objectivity) and the proof is in the pudding. pac is much faster. his hands are literally a blur on film while zab doesn't throw fast combinations at all. look at the film and you'll see. especially pac's round 1 flurries against hatton.
Nah, it is you that does know what the **** subjectivity is, because that is exactly what the majority of discussion on a forum centers around. You can't come in and tell people something as if its fact and just expect them to go along with you. Oh, and you are probably lacking a fair bit of objectivity too.
Zab is a good examble of being as fast as pac. But watching them both you notice it is a completely different type of speed. Zab had a faster cross off his jab, thats about it, and he never really engaged in sustained exchanged. Pac on the other hand has the more aggressive foot speed and body movement. Pacs a fighter who developed an in and out style unique to himself, meaniing training for his style is extremely hard, which leaves his oppenents open alot of the time. Only great counter punchers have a chance against him, but the biggest factor in comparing the two is the willingness to exchange and confidence level. Because pac fights more than Zab he will always be regarded as quicker just because theres more examples of it. And pac knows he's regarded as the best fighter in the world, making him believe in himself whenever he fights.
so based on your argument, film is entirely subjective? not true at all... how do we know pac is faster than someone like marquez? because we have film that assists us in determining this statement. and based on film, we can see that pac is much faster than judah. and if they ever fought, pac would knock judah out cold, unlike mayweather's 12 round snoozefest over zab.
Pacman wasn't really all that fast in the Hatton fight anyway in my opinion. I said it before and I'll say it again: It wasn't that Pacman was all that great when he fought Hatton. It was Hatton who was all that terrible. Any boxer in my local gym would have lit him up from just walking in with is hands down against Pac like that.
