    Floyd reaction time is faster than manny's.

    Manny throws punches at this stage a lot faster.

    It depends on what area you are talking about.

    He started working with Ariza when he was at 130, correct? It's amazing that this guy can jump through 4 divisions and not lose any handspeed. Anyway, I think Mayweather still has the faster hands and reflexes.

    :good

    I was watching the PBF vs Mosley fight and saw that Floyd has a very quick 1-2 punch.. if you stand in front of him. Mother****er is accurate as **** too. Pac needs to work on his movement to get away from those accurate punches but not a lot since he showed that he can move ( see Pac vs Dela Hoya and Pac vs Cotto, Pac vs Clottey )

    Once Pac gets close range, Pac can work his angles. Floyd is real good in backing up. He is so quick.. almost as quick as Pac can get to him.

    Combinations mixed with pacquiao's quick lateral movements will cause trouble to Floyd's defense.

    Pac has never faced somebody as fast as Floyd but has faced somebody who's as good as counter punching as Floyd ( JMM ) so that's somewhat of an advantage for Pac.

    Floyd has never faced a consistent fast and accurate puncher/boxer like Pacquiao but with Floyd's natural talent, it's a toss up.

    Reflexes yes. Hand speed, if you are going to talk about 1-2 punches then yes but combination wise, it's pacquiao. Watch the 2nd round of the cotto fight. Pac I believe threw 3-4 punches in different angles.

    This is really a toss up and the fight really needs to ****ing happen.

    Yep, Pac is genetically blessed.

    I'd say Pac and Judah both have faster hands than Floyd. It's debatable really who has the better reflexes out of Floyd and Pac. Hopefully, we'll find the answer to that later this year.

    Judah definately has faster hands than Mayweather. I'm not sure about Pacquiao though. I agree though, hopefully we will find out.
