    Hmm... fast punchers, Mosley, Bradley 2x, Algieri. I think it was actually a good idea for him to fight fast punchers the past few years. He's sparred Amir many times, and I am sure a ton of other very fast fighters in preparation for his fights with speedy Bradley, Algieri, Mosley.

    The man came from the lower weight classes, you do know that right? That's like the fools who say Mayweather has never fought fast guys.... Yea, because 120-130 pound fighters are slow. :patsch

    These guys saw speed every day basically. You're talking about freaking featherweights. Yes, they have seen speed.

    Not recently, as a matter of fact, it's been many years.
    Floyds speed will surprise manny and keep him honest, especially once he realizes Floyd has some pop.

    Well, there's not a lot of extremely fast fighters. Speed like that is rare. Amir, Pacquiao, Mayweather...

    Pac or Mayweather may not have fought extremely fast punchers in the past 8 years, but Pacquiao has at least made an attempt to fight opponent's with fast hands. Bradley, Mosley, Algieri may not have been as fast as Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Amir...but they good speed.

    Again: Are 120-130 pound fighters "slow?" You do realize the majority of Pacquiao's (and Mayweather's) career was at the lower weight classes right?

    Absolutely ridiculous comment, sorry.

    To put it in easier terms for you to understand: The welterweight division is "slow" compared to the guys they were used to seeing.

    Pac hasn't fought anybody with hand speed that's comparable to his own at 147, while Floyd fought Judah, who was just as fast or faster than Floyd and manny.

    reiterating my comment, "past 8 years."

    Pacquiao and Khan have sparred many times, and in recent years. I would even confidently say Khan has faster hands than Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Judah. Of course, sparring is sparring.

    Also, I don't think Judah was faster than a prime Mayweather. Close, but not faster, IMO.

    Technicalities with the past 8 years:lol:

    Just the same with Judah being "just as fast or faster":good

    Fact remains - most recent opponent with hand speed comparable to his own
