Is Pacquiao the best fighting specimen on the planet?

I found a article from Floyds buddy Zab Judah who said it best:

8CN - You have been around a long time, and you have fought the best fighters in the world. Have you ever seen anybody do what Manny is doing?

ZJ - He's a very mentally focused person. I love what he's doing mentally, he has his mind made up that he's not going to get beat no matter what weight class he is in. The reason why I say that it's not impossible for him to get beat is that anything is possible. But, not just anyone can beat him, he's it right now. He is the legend of our time. They say that every 30 years or so someone comes along and does something like this.

8CN - How do you see Floyd doing against Pacquiao?

ZJ - It would be a good fight, but it won't be a shutout like he got against De La Hoya and Cotto. Mayweather has good defense, it will throw Pacquiao off. I also feel that it would be a 12 round split decision for Manny Pacquiao. I just feel if Pacquiao puts up his normal effort and it goes 12 rounds, they won't do that Mayweather nod ****, that's not going to happen.

8CN - Do you think Manny wins fair and square, or are you saying that Manny would get the nod because he's Manny Pacquiao?

ZJ - I think it will be close, but Floyd will go out with a bang. Floyd doesn't have the power to keep Manny off of him. I fought Floyd, I haven't fought Manny, but I watch him and he's a little force. He backed Cotto up the whole fight, Cotto was in there doing those Salsa dances, I thought he was in there doing a tap dance or something (laughing) I didn't know what the Hell he was doing.

 

A world class kickboxer ... near his size ... 90% chance that fellow gets demolished unless he gets supremely lucky. Striking is striking. Never been impressed with them, beyond the obvious muay thai fellow with his flying knee and cool elbow attack, something Floyd does just as effectively in boxing (clever use of the elbow, heh heh)

Having said that, a strong wrestler who gets his hands on Manny might have a short night of it controlling Manny if he doesn't get ktfo coming in (in 4 oz gloves do you know how dangerous manny would be to anyone he hit? He's not immobile like Toney, and BRIAN SCHWABB outboxed Gonzage for a flawless victory win. The guy is strictly golden glove quality, and dominated with simple boxing skills)

 

Fighting "Speciman ???
You must be GAY.

 

His natural athleticism and ability to learn techniques very quickly. If an MMA trainer picked him up before Roach did he'd be an awesome MMA fighter (not sure if ATG, but awesome for sure). He had some background in karate after all.

 

Abraham is a scary dude.
Not the greatest boxer, but I wouldn't want to fight him out in the street or something.
The guys is basically an unstoppable caveman.

I have Donaire as the baddest Filipino on the planet. He'll fight any top competition and when he does, he blows them out of the water. He seems to be the complete package. He does not kiss Arum's ass and he will take a blood test anywhere, anytime. Not really a fan of his flashy attitude but when it comes to being ballsy he's top notch.

 

yes he is. Hes the ultimate fighting machine
