    I agree. I think summing up his amazing accuracy and timing as simply speed is underselling him. But even when JMM was just waiting for the jab, a lot were getting through, so the speed must also not be sniffed at.

    Do you think he will ever be beaten (NB this is a different question from _could_ he be beaten)

    He has awesome speed but what most don't often mention is that he has phenomenal anticipation & timing, that's what puts him apart from other fighters that have equal speed.

    mayweather is the smartest in the ring at all times, his speed and athlethicness and power and reflexes all fall behind his boxing brain.judah is fast but never the same level as mayweather.its not just speed.say it with people SKILLS wins fight.not power and speed SKILLS.

    you dont know **** about boxing

    "roger mayweather "

    Floyd's handspeed isn't overrated it is just his timing and accuracy are unbelievable. That combined with his reach advantage is why he was landing on Marquez so often.

    He isn't Meldrick Taylor in terms of speed but he is still fast as hell. Ask DLH how fast Mayweather is.
