    I dont think Zab would take Hatton out in 2 (atleast not today) but there are other things besides power that lead to Pac doing so.

    First zab is on the downslide for some time and Pac is really hitting his prime. But beyond just saying that Pac is a better p4p fighter, he is a better combination puncher than Zab and I think he used distance very well with Hatton and was able to land some very clean flush shots.

    Zab I feel would want to box with Hatton and hatton would be coming in trying to close the distance. Zab doesnt have nearly as good of footwork or footspeed as Pac and he wouldnt get to set up as clean of shots as Pac was able to.

    Probably based on size I would have to say Zab hits harder but that doesnt mean Pac isnt more likely to KO the better fighters.

    People seem to be confusing punching power with... everything else. If we are talking p4p than Pac is the obvious choice. If we are talking at 147 than Zab Judah must be given the benefit of the doubt due to his size and the people he has faced and how his power has played a roll in those fights. Maybe Judah wouldn't have knocked out Hatton like Pacquiao did but that could be attributed to many other things aside from punching power, for example, fight strategy and accuracy to say a few. Judah is the more explosive fighter and the harder puncher, however it is obvious he's not the better fighter.

    Before the Hatton fight I would have said Judah. But it seems to me like Pac's power is is improving as he moves up.

    This KO of Hatton has carried Pac into greek god status here. If I recall most people correctly felt Hatton was an overrated fighter before he fought PBF and PAC. To that point he was living primarily off of his win over Tyszu. Then PBF takes advantage of a major flaw in Hattons game, HE JUMPS INTO PUNCHES, KO's him, Roach and Pac see what PBF figured out over the course of his fight use that blueprint and KO him in pretty similar fashion, except Pac had the benefit of watching PBF show them how it should be done so it happens a bit earlier.

    If you take away the Hatton KO this is clearly a NO BRAINER, Judah has more power and is probably a bit faster to couple that with. for the sake of a good fight I hope Pac hasn't bought into half the **** his fans are selling about him. If he goes in there thinking this fight is going to resemble the Hatton fight in the least bit he is going to be in for a long night.

    Right now. I say Pac.
    When Judah was in his Junior Welterweight Prime I would say Judah.

    DUDE,

    I know you are entitled to your own OPINION but I strongly suggest that
    Next time watch pac fights before you give statements against pac so you would not look silly in the end!

    cheers!

    p.s. OBVIUOSLY you haven't been watching pac fights :oops:

    I would say Judah. The difference between them is Pac punches as hard in round twelve as he does in round one and he doesn't stop whereas Judah almost stops punching altogether after a couple of rounds.

    I still can't be sure if Pac really punches harder than Zab. What I could say is that he's the better puncher (and fighter obviously) but hard to say who really has more power. Could really be either one.
