    People always thought Manny was faster. :nut

    But we saw what happened when Floyd fought Manny. Manny looked like he was stuck in quickstand when he fought Floyd.

    Floyd's handspeed was faster, Floyd's legs were faster. Floyd was better than him in every way.

    :yep

    Floyd is definitely the better boxer, but Manny is both the faster and the harder puncher of the two. Floyd looks fast when he throws 1 shot at the time, but his combination speed is nothing special. Anyway, he didn't need to be faster or stronger obviously.

    One punch at a time, sure he is.

    When throwing in combination it becomes dubious claim.

    No way.

    Pacquiao had better power, speed and stamina/workrate than Floyd in their respective primes.

    He had much better attributes.

    Floyd had better defense, reflexes, and ring IQ then and now.

    You know that must have been the most embarrassed any boxer must have been . To hear your own Faher/trainer call you a coward for fighting scared against an injured opponent who had also been sabotaged by your buddy boys the NSAC. On top of that you knew millions of fans around the world heard it. No wonder you ran off to Bora Bora with Beiber to hide

    The thread title is almost certainly true. This isn't something I'd be inclined to disagree with.

    However, I'd definitely make note of the fact that the gap is wider now than it was 5 or 6 years ago. Floyd's preserved his speed far better than Pac, especially foot speed.

    :smoke

    Are you on crack? Floyd @ 130 was far faster than Pac at 130.

    Floyd was also much better than Pac ever was at that weight, he's also much better than Pac ever was at 147. :rofl
