    Agreed Andre. The kicker in that fight was, if Zab Judah would've taken a full count to recover upon his first serious knockdown he wouldn't have become Zab Judah He never had the mental fortitude to have come back after having been hurt by someone in that league.
    As far as Pacquiao and Tszyu I really think it would all depend on how Manny took the right hand. If Tszyu hurt him he would've had a great chance to win by stoppage imo. The two men actually have a fairly similar stance aside from leading with different sides, they both have that almost fencing posture with feet really wide apart. Pacquiao has/had much better speed and looks to swarm, but Tszyu had the balance and timing, which I feel may have won out at his best. A prime Tszyu would've beaten the Manny of today without a doubt in my mind. If Manny at his best had been able to withstand his punches he could have forced Tszyu onto the backfoot and beat him up, but I'm not sure even then it would've happened. I think it's a bad matchup for both guys in a sense and would've been an epic fight

    I'd take Pacquaio on points in a fantastic fight

    A fit and prime Tszyu say 1999-2002 wins by KO against Manny. Pacman is too careless and like his nemesis Marquez who is a precision puncher Tszyu would not waste effort on throwing punches that were not going to land. Tszyu punches a lot harder than Marquez!

    Its amazing what one bad performance against Marquez and a lil bit of nostalgia can do.

    Tzyu was great at 140, but I really can't see him having much of a realistic chance against Pac man.

    Its hard for me to imagine Tzyu beating Miguel Cotto.

    I'd see Tszyu over Cotto at 140!

    I definitely see him putting up a sterling effort against Pacquiao. But both at their best at 140 is Pacs fight

    I imagine he would beat Cotto like he did Gonzalez.
