    And with all these superior skills, no balls to fight Pac. Or even release a ****ing statement quoting pac on his side regarding the tests(in which pac has agreed)

    Floyd is faster with the single shots. Pacman is faster with the combos. Pacman has the edge in foot speed, which is a huge weapon for him. I give PBF the edge in reflexes.

    This fight needs to happen.

    manny is faster in combos but floyd is faster in single shots. upper body speed goes to floyd and footwork about even.

    power goes to manny

    Pacquiao is faster. Floyd has lost a step, watch the Mosley fight. Pac has faster hands and feet.

    Floyd is faster from point A to B with single shots, but Manny has faster combos
    he aslo has faster feet, but not reflexes

    Also there is a difference between your hand speed in how the crowd percieves and how yourr opponent perceives. Floyd probably comes off as faster to his opponents because he attack them when they aren't ready or off rythem.

    There was an article about this on Rossboxing's forum, but the site is down right now

    Shortest distance between two points and fastest way to get there is a straight line. Both are fast here, but without seeing them in the ring I'm guessing it's Mayweather.

    Floyd has very long arms. He can "hit people first".
