This was a great article on the front page (by David Kassel), and he threw a couple of "headscratchers" in there, and they dont seem to be a bad idea. I just created a poll for it, so you can vote for the fight that you would favor the most. Feel free to choose any other fights and dissect them, as far as the possibility of them happening and how they'll go.

I did especially if it were at 140 or around a 144 catch weight. I have always thought zab has faster hands than pac I would like to see how manny deals with that. To this day I believe manny has not fought someone with more speed than him which could cause problems and make it a more interesting fight than people may think.

I agree that it would still be a competitive fight. Problem is, I not a big fan of how Zab backs out of an exchange (the swaying motion like he did in the Tzu fight), because Manny tends to lunge when he throws the left.

Zab's left could get there quicker, but he has to be first...at all times. He looked great against Paris, as far as turning him and being first. If he brings that into a Pacquiao fight, then Manny would have to make some unwanted adjustments to deal with it.

true however the backing up with his hands down has improved I havent noticed him doing that a great deal since the first spinks fight.

You are a hundred percent right when you said he has to be first! when he is trying to counter and is second he will be dominated just like the Khan fight. I think he realized he is not a counter puncher which is why he ditched sweet pea as his trainer.

as someone else stated we would get the whole mayweather left overs BUT maybe pac could look better than floyd did?

Remember zab knocked mayweather down in the 2nd and was winning the first five rounds
