Pacquiao's left vs. Tszyu's right

Somebody randomly asked me this one day and it stumped me. Now, I know this site is overrun by Pacquiao fans, but if you are a Pacquiao fan and know nothing of Kostya Tsyzu, please don't vote. Pacquiao gets plenty of instant accolades as it is. I want to know, honestly and sincerely, regardless of who you like, which is the harder and more devastating punch....Pacquiao's straight left or Tszyu's straight right? Prime vs. Prime, 140, of course. Please be objective.

 

And Pacquiao's faster punch translates into nighty-night time because, although Tszyu's right appears heavier and at least as straight, it is the punches that you don't see coming that hurt you the most. Had to pick Tszyu myself. I've just seen him cave too many heads in. He downright knocked guys senseless and into a loopy obvlivion during his brillian stint as a fighter.

 

Back then that was his bread and butter....a basic one followed by a murderous two. He was a bit one dimensional and relied heavily on this. No featherweight, and sure as hell no superbantamweight in the world seemed to be able to remain upright after being tagged with that straight left though, so it worked wonders for him, with exception of the first Erik Morales bout. Now, after many Freddie Roach crafted years later, he has surrounded that registered lethal weapon with an array of arsenal and trickery. But I don't feel that his straight left can knock guys silly at 140 or 147 the way Tszyu's did.

 

I could be diagnosed with alzeihmer's many years from now and there's still no way that one's slipping my memory. Not while I'm alive.

Good point too. Tszyu, in his prime, could very well have been capable of showing Clottey his first napping experience in the ring. Pacquiao's left and Tszyu's right both had a very similar effect on guys, but Pacquiao's similar effect was one or two weight classes south, though not too shabby by any means at 140 and 147.
