I don't remember ever being able to say that Manny won because of his jab...but I think on Saturday, the consistency of that jab is what primarily carried him to the UD.
Watch the David Diaz fight he was pumping his jab and turning him all night, Pac is apparently better against southpaws but he rarely fights them.
He also weighed 147 on fight night, debunking the myth that he took steroids and added muscle to go up to 147 when he never weighed more than 151 on fight night at 147.

Regarding Pac, I've always thought he lacked that but he's obviously made a career doing what he did so I can't exactly criticize too much about his punch selection when he lands as well as he does. Against Vargas, a tall guy that leans over is difficult to hit to the body so often times the shots weren't available, especially not from the outside.
