Who is faster, Manny Pacquiao or Zab Judah?

[RisAri0]

only difference is that manny's speed has more horsepower... with zab u have a great acceleration in the beginning..

[THRILLA77]

i agree with the first, but disagree with the latter.

Zab is clearly faster with his fists than manny is.

The only reason people are picking pacquiao is because zab is a bit of a joke around here, and everybody is drunk on pacquiao after the hatton ko.

If you watch the footage of both men throwing in the ring, it isn't even close.

exactly....in the ring zab throws with alot more speed and power as well....he has more pop than pac.....

Who knows, maybe if someone made a split-screen Video comparison right next to each other we would know. One thing I do know, is that Manny Pacquiao is 20x the boxer Zab Judah could ever dream of being. Maybe even more then that. I'm going to go with Manny though. I think Zabs fast, but his speed has to be overrated a bit since Floyd, Cotto, Clottey didn't have trouble over coming his speed.

Zab is one of the fastest if not thee fastest puncher in boxing but he tends to break down after a few rounds!!!

Speed wise Zab would beat Manny but Mannys Power would be to much for Zab!!!

I think all the ppl who are picking Pacquaio misunderstand the question... there is absolutely no question about who is better now, who is better in their primes, etc. Pacquiao without a question is better than Judah EVER WAS!!

With that said, I believe that Judah is one of the most Naturally Talented Fighters ever in the sport... what is unfortunate for Zab is the fact that he never developed the capability to come back after being hurt. If you look at most of the fights he's lost.... he held his own against some amazing fighters: He was whooping Kostya Tzysu's (however u spell it) butt, til Tzysu landed that punch that knocked Zab out; he was beating the crap out of Mayweather until the late rounds when PBF started landing good combos, He held his own against Cotto and Clottey until they respectively started landing big punches... once Judah is hurt, or gets hit with big punches he starts losing his composure, starts screwing up and getting hit more and more... then he does dumb things like low blows and what not... once Judah is hit by big shots at any point of the fight, he will mess everything up...

Regardless, Judah as talented as he is, cannot be mentioned by any means in the category of great Fighters, Pacquiao is a great fighter...

Yeah I know, that fight is just as unfortunate as the Ruiz-Tua fight. Ruiz was winning that fight handily until Tua landed that lucky punch.

Pay your bet you lame ****.

Bet is paid ***.it You knew I was waiting for my interest.

[cyutetrick]

well zab is really fast with his hands man, but idk, i think manny is a little faster overall but if zab is faster by any means its hand speed, but manny could still be faster there and manny has way... more stamina than zab and more motivation too

Zab displays amazing speed but it's the kind that takes a lot of energy. That's why I think it's more flash than substance at elite level.

Pac can maintain his fast and high paced combination power punching for 12 rounds whereas Zab tends to gas out before the halfway mark and he doesn't stop his opponents as much as Pac does. Pac can go as fast as Zab (see training footages) but he doesn't have to at the extent of sacrificing leverage. He doesn't go overboard with the speed and that makes him a more effective puncher overall.

So to answer your question, Zab has the faster hands.

great post man..

[BennyST]

The only thing Judah does better than Manny is to get knocked out face first!!!!!!!

I don't know, Pac's done that a couple of times pretty well.

Just based on handspeed, it's pretty obviously Judah. He was one of those guys you just sort of go "Wha....?" at, whereas Pac you think "Damn that dudes fast."

So, Judah is faster.

Mannys faster, he's got some of the fastest hands ive ever seen at 130+
