Pacquiao puts Tszyu to sleep brutality.

Bad matchup for Manny but I give him the edge. Tszyu was super dangerous from mid to long range. Could be had in close quarters. Excellent chin too. But I think Pacquiao's footwork allows him to get in and out and win a hard fought close decision.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Technically a bad style match up for Pacquiao cause of Tszyu's dangerous punching power in the midrange which is Pac's bread n' butter.

It would be a classic in the early goings, but once Kosta starts timing Pac's in and out it could be a KO in the 5th round of a major upset.

The longer the fight goes, the more it benefits Pacquiao, I think Pac at 140 would've been the king at 140. He would've been able to keep his speed and power while fighting guys just a lil bigger than him or around his size.

If Kosta can't KO Pac mid rounds or early then I see the Philippino Typhoon destroying him late by TKO 9th round in a classic war.

Tszyu might be my favorite fighter ever (along with Morales) and his style was all wrong for Manny. BUT, I would still have to favor Manny. Prime Manny was damn near impossible to handle.

[Larry the boss]

Manny was a buzz saw and would chop him up

2008-2010 Manny was a freaking monster. The 2009 fight against Cotto was what put me on. I knew about this Pacquiao guy way before that but never really pay him no attention until the Cotto fight. I was visiting families over in the midwest and my uncle bought the fight. Lets just say after the fight, i was sold on Manny and been a fan since.

[Chrismart]

I like Tszyu, i think he's often underrated when brought up in discussion.
He's a dangerous fighter.
But that version of Pacquiao was something special. I'd take him to beat Kostya.
