Were talkin Manny right now and Zab say pre Cotto.
One punch power would be Judah. He also had faster hands but not by much.
But it was everything else that Pac can do in-between there that makes him a better boxer than Zab.
Zab was never busy enough in his career although he was busier earlier. Manny's activity alone gives people trouble. Manny has developed a great ability to move in and out and still be offensive while making you miss. Manny throws single and combination punches from weird angles and is able to land many of them. Just in general pac throws in combinations. Zab's ability to throw in combinations come and goes along with his desire throughout his career and that is the main difference between the two of them.
Pac has that extra desire to win and perform great. Sometimes Judah can't even get past his self inflicted demons in training camp. His performances are evidence of this. Mayweather had him dead to rights. He seems to be a front runner, more mentally than physically.
A great fight could have been made between the Zab that fought Kostya and Manny at 140.Comment

I am very surprised to see so many people picking Manny to have more power than Zab. Again one punch power would go to Zab but Pac has very strong combinations and his power seems to be more consistent.Comment

thats right early on he was showing faster hand speed than Money and that gave the pretty boy big problems. It can truly be said that Zab is one of a few guys to be able to put good leather on Floyd.

I think Judah is faster with the single punch, but Pac is infinitely faster with the combos. On top of that, Pac throws at really awkward angles, and it's like they say, the punch that hurts you the most is the one you don't see coming. Both hit like mules.Comment

I too have wondered about who was faster, I've seen enough vids of both fighters and have been fortunate enough to watch PAC live. Hands down PAC takes it.Comment

You guyz are all over the wrong question here, we're talking about fast/hard not volume/skillz. Zab was faster and hit harder than Pac period, plz note how I used (was) at the beginning. How many times can we go over this, is like asking who punch harder Cotto or Trinidad both got a lot of KO's thru their carrers but while Trinidad used 2 KTFO guyz with one punch and turn the fight around Cotto has 2 beat the crap out of then thru 6 to 7 rounds. Same thing with Manny, I know Hatton, his output of punches thru the fight is ridiculous and he just take ppl apart and KTFO them. The same goes for speed Zab 's jab s and 1-2 combs were fast as hell but PAC's speed throwing 7 punch combos is amazing. Idk **** anyway just think about that.............Comment

I think both go to Judah, but he is still a much worse fighter.
For people that say just look at the fact that Judah hasn't stopped anyone in ages, well, think about that for a second.... Judah just isn't as good as Pac. He is so wild when he gets someone hurt that it's like he flips out and just starts throwing wildly. He's one of the worst finishers in the game.
Doesn't mean he isn't freakish fast and has great pop. Whereas Pac doesn't look a whole lot faster than many guys he's fought Judah has looked faster than everyone he's fought including Mayweather and Spinks, two of the fastest guys of our era. Judah is just faster than Pac. There isn't or shouldn't be any question about it.
There is a difference between being a better fighter and a faster or more powerful fighter.
Clottey is more skillful than Cotto, but he lost (in some eyes anyway). Judah is faster than Clottey but he lost. Cotto is better in every way than Margarito but he lost. Pac is faster than Marquez and hits harder but he lost (). You dig? Being faster doesn't mean better so stop getting your little panties in knots all you Pac fans that can't come to grips with this simple question.
