I know Pac has only had one fight at this weight but if these two had fought at their primes who would win ?

Tszyu would KO him. Tszyu loved fighting southpaws and his timing always won over the speed of his opponents like Mitchell and Judah found out.
Tszyu KO in round 5
Tszyu always did well with aggressive, fast power-punchers. So basically Pac. I think Pac would do better than Judah, but the fact is at some point Tszyu's right hand would connect & could be good night. Apart from Hatton having the fight of his life the only other guys who've been at light-welter in recent years who I could see beating Tszyu are Mayweather and Cotto.
Tszyu loved southpaws, he disected them like no other fighter. Speed didnt seem to bother him either so id have to say that manny would be eating right hands until he dropped.Tszyu was a very smart fighter and if there was a weakness he would find it and i think hed find a few in pac.
Oscar didn't do too badly against southpaws either, its hard to say, I think Tszyu is very much a large JMM with a bigger punch p4p, but a lot less speed, if Pacquiao get in and out too quickly then Kostya would be in trouble, but if Tszyu started timing him then I think Pacquiao is screwed.
I have this 60/40 in favor of Tszyu because its a rough matchup for Pacman.
Pac would win because of Freddie Roach.
I think Kostya Tszyu beats Manny Pacquiao styles make fights, Kostya Tszyu had trouble with swarming fighters like Ricky Hatton, Vince Phillips. But he was good at timing fast boxers like Sharmba Mitchelll, Zab Judah.
I've always said Kostya Tszyu had excellent timing, and his mid distance shots were a thing of beauty, Manny Pacquiao maybe a better fighter P4P but style's wise i think Kostya Tszyu stops Manny Pacquiao in the mid rounds.
