        If you like soccer, i'd ask you this one: who's more skilled? Okocha or Riquelme? Okocha was more impressive skillwise but less effective.

        Judah exibits more precise and crisper punches than Pacquiao. His stance and basics were way better but Pacquiao is stronger mentally and always got the job done. So it's a hard one but i'd pick Judah even though i think Pacquiao is the better fighter.

            You don't think it takes skill to hit your opponents with speed and power at crazy ass angles with multiple punch combos? You look at it as a weakness but thats how his fighting style has been since he started boxing. He can box while moving backwards, side to side, or off-balance, while hitting you with power and speed. He isn't your average boxer who needs to have the right footing before striking a punch.

            His style made DLH quit, Hatton sleep, Cotto run, Clottey hide. Made them look like amateurs.

              I completely agree. It's why guys like No Ceilings and the rest of that crowd love guys like Andre Dirrell too. They even think he'd beat Andre Ward, notice Ward doesn't fit the criteria, because Ward actually fights sometimes.

              Judah exhibits those punches about 3 or 4 times in a championships fight. Look at the Cotto fight. I don't think you can argue that Judah is better skilled. Look at the results. Judah didn't knock Cotto down, he barely hurt him. Pac knocked him down twice on REAL knockdowns.

              Exactly. Pacquiao is hundreds of times more skilled. Judah just has basic streetfighting instincts. Just like roy Jones. Is Jones more skilled than Bernard Hopkins? Joe Calzaghe? HELL NO. that showed once Jones lost his athleticism. Jones has the skill of an amateur.

              Judah is an amateur compared to Pacquiao, Pac would make Judah look like one of those tomato cans on FNF, just like he did Hatton.

                if the fight was over 6 rounds, then I would say Zab but because its not, it has to be Manny

                    Excuses excuses. He just wasn't that good. Lost to David Diaz ffs.

                    Also lost badly to Cotto and Clottey.

                    All 3 fighters that Packy made to look like helpless bitches. Judah was always overrated. Never that good to begin with.

                    Except for making excuses after every fight.
