I wouldn't rule Manny out against the older version that struggled to time shots when under pressure. I think Pacquiao's problem is his tendency to reset once he's in close, which Hatton and Phillips did not do. That gives Tszyu a lot of opportunites to find the laser right against a southpaw with full leverage.
all three are southpaws all 3 are speedsters. actually at 140 judah was probally faster then pac and had more pop. mitchell was probally just as fast and has the same amount as pop as pac . ATG standing of course no comparisson
Pac would get KO'd here. If your not in Tzsyus chest to take away his right hand your usually on your back.
Whoa....Get all that "man on Man" fantasies out of here bro. First KT and now PAC and me??? You can't help yourself can you fruit cake. EM...lets see...PAC 3 or 4 yrs ago compared to PAC now? You are comparing apples to oranges...that's like comparing MAB post Naz to the MAB Junior Jones Faught. Stick to the script sister. PAC wasnt eulusive before.....but he uses the ring very well and his foot work has improve 10 fold.
I'll take Kostya. He's arguably the best 140 pounder in the history of the sport. Pac hasn't proven much above 130: Diaz was a token and Hoya could have been beaten by just about any decent fighter that night.
No...Nor did PAC find it hard to catch JMM.. But JMM is a puncher who throws VOLUME...KT isn't. To catch PAC your best best is punches in bunches! But I do see your angle.:good
And YES...KT is VERY Technically sound...but he is limited in terms of his dynamics and versitility. He's a solid boxer/puncher!
:good Yo....I didn't even think of it on that level! You broke it down on a level that I wasn't even thinking about.
:yep....PAC under roach is also known to have some pretty good strategy as well. I just feel the natrual gifts PAC has along with the new dynamics in his offense and defense will be a hard puzzle for even the GREAT KT to overcome! But again....it's speculation....one punch can end it for PAC....I'm not sure what kind of power PAC has at 140 but if it's anything like 126,130 or 135 KT could also get clipped by the perfect Left or Right from PAC.
:good I'm always surprised when someone else is able to "Check" me when it comes to this sport.....After all I'm the most knowlegable! That's just a joke but boxing fans all seem to be the "Most knowledgable" for some reason!:deal
