Has Manny Pacquiao ever faced anyone as FAST as Zab Judah?

[Heeb]

Nope, but there is no doubt in my mind he would beat Judah if they were to fight.

[M.I Truth ?]

I don't know if he was very good or dangerous. A very good or dangerous fighter wouldn't lose to somebody like Baldomir.

The Zab that fought Baldomir was not the same guy Cotto and Floyd had to deal with. He gave the Baldomir fight no respect and I bet he didn't prepare well by looking at the fight. Floyd and Cotto had his full attention. He took the fights seriously and had his moments in both fights.

Judah is faster than anyone Manny has fought past 130. But Judah has lost to plenty of guys he was faster than so it doesn't matter. One day people will realize that Zab has ALWAYS been an overrated fighter.

Why didn't he give Baldomir any respect? Because, that is the excuse he used for losing that fight? He just wasn't good enough. He had one good fight at WW and that was the Spinks rematch. And, maybe if you want to count the Cosme Rivera win as a good fight. But, besides those two WTF did he do at WW? He just wasn't mentally strong enough to beat somebody who he couldn't KO like Baldomir.

Exactly right, maybe he was good or dangerous in the early rounds but he was not mentally strong enough didn't have the intangibles to be a consistent good fighter.

^^Thats what drove him in a downward spiral.

I think he has skills as good as anyone but the lack of focus and disipline really ****ed him up

The bolded is why is didn't get up for the Baldomir fight. His focus in the Floyd and Cotto fights were a different story. Sadly Cotto and and Floyd may have been his last chances at the elite. I don't now if he can get back to that form again. I think he beats Baldomir on most nights. He could have been really good IMO.

I don't think he has. Zab is really fast, regardless of his mentality. His athletic ability is something undeniable.

It possible that he may have, somewhere from bantam and lower. Those guys are fast anyways so it's possible. But everything from Barrera and up, nah not really. Not if you don't consider the weight differences. As in people who will say "Oh, he is featherweight and Zab is welter. yada yada"

Even if he fights Mayweather, it wouldn't matter because Mayweather's hand speed is a notch below Zab's.

Hes definitely fought guys as lazy as Zab Judah.

[ThePunchingBag]

Judah is a C class fighter.

Manny's sparred against faster fighters.
