    Tsyzu didn't have half the speed of Pacquiao and didn't hit any harder. Id bet on Pac anyday.

    I think Pacquiao would overwhelm Tszyu, but he doesnt hit harder than Tszyu, no way.

    Pacquiao doesn't hit as hard as Tszyu, but he's better in pretty much every other way. Pacquiao brutal TKO mid-late. Both men would get hurt though, it'd be a bloody war.

    I could see either fighter winning. Tsyzu had a vicious righthand when he landed it.

    Tsyzu carries the one thing Southpaws hate....a big right hand straight down the pipe.

    Logic says Manny by TKO in 9, but don't count Kosta out by sudden k.o. while trailing after 7 rds.

    He wasnt really overated. He was an excellent olympian that beat Vernon Forrest and a few other big names. He was a solid pro as well. I think he was rushed along too much as a pro, but he had some good wins. His style as a pro was more of a pressure style because he was physically a lot stronger than a lot of his JW opponents. I wonder what would have happened with him had he signed with Top Rank or Main Events coming out of the olympics. He probably would have been campaigned as a welterweight against his amatuer rivals.

    Has Manny taken Zab Judah's Course in "How to "chicken dance" and get pissed at the Ref all in the same fight?

    (always good to have a 'back-up plan")
