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

[AntDawg]

that doesnt make pacquiao more skilled, it wasnt a lack of skill that got him those losses, in fact judah gave every opponent he ever lost to hell:

tszyu: beat him up in the first round of that fight before getting chin checked in the second round for being ****y
spinks: brutally KO'd him their rematch
baldomir: lost a close decision for not doing anything in that fight
mayweather: gave mayweather hell for 6 rounds and even knocked him down
cotto: seriously hurt him 3 times before folding due to the fouls
clottey: very close fight, clottey couldnt have won it by more than a point cuz judah was outboxing him in a lot of those rounds

judah fights for 6 rounds in a 12 round fight, pac gets hit repeatedly with right hands he just takes the shots better and hes faster and more powerful not more skilled

I wouldn't say he gave Baldomir or Clottey hell heck Cotto was in way more trouble against Torres than Judah. Judah has speed and Power but against the top guys it never got him that far.

judah aint on mannys level just cause hes black doesnt mean hes more skilled

[Story]

Manny, even a prime Judah had problems in championship rounds where Manny was still turning on the heat.

I agree with this.

JUDAH!

clearly some people don't understand the question or they don't understand what you mean as far as SKILLS, Judah has more BOXING SKILLS then Pacman but that doesn't not mean he is better then Pacman obviously

Judah problem is that he quits during a match when he can't do what he wants, he didn't have the heart, who knows maybe at 32 he has finally figured it all out and is now a lot more motivated, I always thought he should have replaced Yoel Judah or bring him someone from the outside like they are doing now by bringing in Eddie Mustafa Muhammad

[RubenSonny]

People get it in your head we are talking in terms of technical skills and Judah is far above Pacquiao in that respect. Is Judah comparable to Pacquiao in terms of mental toughness and accomplishment, hell no but thats not what the threads about.

[FeFist]

People need to distinguish between athleticism and skill. Zab Judah is a more skilled boxer than Pacquiao.

never said he gave them hell

panda said he gave them tough, close fights, cotto was bleeding from his mouth by round 2 and was already in danger of going down twice

torres fought a weight drained cotto btw, thats why he moved up in the first place

[SugarRayCurtain]

Pacquiao

Offence is a skill, and his offence destroys Judah's
Pacquiaos footwork and ability to counter is better than Judah also

Just because Judah is black doesnt mean he is more skillful than Pacquiao

[Mojita]

well. Pacs in his prime now. his boxing skill is at its best now. saying that... Judah is highy skilled. but prime for prime put them together and Pacs skill takes over. sorry thats the reality. It isnt about heart or any bs. Having good mental stabliness is a skill too.

[Bhopreign]

Pacquiao is more skilled. Zab is IMO a little more athletically gifted.
