Better fight? Pacquiao vs Azumah OR Izzy Vazquez vs Morales?

I asked Israel, thru another guy, which fighter, alive or dead, he'd most like to fight and he said Wilfredo Bazooka Gomez. That'd be a HELL of a fight for sure!

That match wouldn't have gone well for Vazquez at all. Sure it would be action packed, but Gomez would have carved him up. I couldn't imagine Gomez going life/death against guys like Oscar Larios or Jhonny Gonzalez.

He was too classy for In-Jin Chi, Wayne McCullough and Paulie Ayala, too. Those were all solid fights.

As I see it, Pacquiao-Nelson is open-ended, but in all likelihood, Morales would dominate Vazquez. It may be the more violent clash, but I'll take an unpredictable fight over a brutal one here.

You have it all wrong, the whole 2 handed thing is a farce. Anybody can look 2 handed fighting guys who are shot. When he gets in a real fight though the only Pacquiao is the straight left throwing wreckless Pacquiao with an iron chin and ungodly stamina.

so you are saying manny hasn't improved his offensive craft since his days at 130 and below?


manny pacquiao made a living on mostly the one two and faster hands in exchanges
he had one punch knockout power

it's gone now



at first i thought you were asserting that he was always a two handed fighter, which is an idea i would have entertained as reasonable because of his work with the jab and in exchanges with both hands

but now that you're saying he's still a one handed fighter?

Um, Morales-Vazquez is a crazy awesome fight for however long it takes Morales to stop Vazquez. Easily that.

this sounds about right


i dont think it would be competitive enough to better nelson and pacquiao

but it would be fun
