    Yea Floyd was actually pushing Mosley around the ring. When Mosley would try to hold Floyd(something he was doing all night) Floyd was easily pushing him out of the way. Even Manny Steward said Floyd is more physically stronger than Mosley.

    When I read about Manny doing 6:30 to 6:42 miles it was close to the Cotto fight. Then I remember Floyd running and saying he did a mile in 6 flat. Kelly Pav said he does his miles around the same speed as Manny does. Manny's feet are probably quicker but he doesn't run faster. Even if you watch Floyd play basketball he looks pretty damn fast on the court.

    I just think that Floyd is a better athlete because in his prime he was faster(it can be debated now). He has better reflexes. From Mosley's point of view he is physically stronger. Also from what I've read he runs his miles faster than Manny.

    i'm not actually wrong. my point is elite boxing athletes could do 6:00 mins a mile. so if floyd can do it in 5 then i'm still correct. also please note that you can actually sustain a faster pace in a shorter distance. so if pacquiao can do a sustained 6:00/mile pace for 3 miles, then i had no doubt that he could also do 5 in a mile.

    i searched and got to a running forum where a guy knows pac's pacemate brian livingston and said that pac can do a 6mins/mile pace on times that he feels like it and note that it is for the whole 3 miles or maybe even more.

    I think Floyd's athleticism works better in boxing. But Pac seems like he could transfer better into other sports.

    No, clearly the next thread should be about who's better at basketball!

    That game involves running. It is an unfair competition.
