Prime for Prime: Who is more skilled- Judah or Pacquiao?

[-Antonio-]

Manny Pacquiao. I'd like to know what some of you define skill as.

[Telepath]

I guess....

Thing is, I've always disliked Zab. He's a terrible human specimen. However, he's a lot stronger, a lot faster, and a lot more skilled a boxer than Manny.

I seriously think Zab would ice him. I don't think Manny would be able to handle his speed and power.

[Kagami Taiga]

people have this wierd sense that skill is associated just with counter punchers

judah was fast and athletic, not skilled, as he shows he is easily exposed when he tires, dudes stamina sucks

counter punching is a skill, in fact its a very important skill. judah had skills. ur rite, he was also very athletic. but pac is also athletic and his skills have improved greatly because earlier in his careewr, he isnt what i would have described as being skilled.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

I generally understand the term its just the way people use it confuses me, for example a boxer who lacks defense is much more associated with heart than a defensive boxer which pisses me off, I dont know I just feel the way people use it in a way that discredits skilled boxers.

Ruben. You are spot on with this observation. The term "Heart" often gets misconstrued, and twisted to suit the needs of a particular arguement.

Judah has way more skill then Pac. People are confused. The question didnt say who's the better fighter or who would win in a fight. Anybody who dosent think Judah is a better boxer then Pac is blind.

How is Judah more skilled then? Because I think the opposite.

If Judah reached his full potential, he would beat Manny.

But he never did so any version of Judah would probably get stopped by Manny.

When Judah gets overwhelmed he settles for the same counter left hook, or counter left uppercut. He backs straight up. He stays inside too long and gets caught with short punches. He fights with his hands low. He doesn't change his rhythm enough. I can go on and on.

Look at the common opponents. Did Manny ice Cotto and outclass Clottey based on durability alone? No.

When was Judah's "prime"

Give me a break! Pacquiao beats the breaks off this boy.

yep, sadly I think it's sometimes used with racial undertones.
