    There are plenty of things... the fact you think Floyd's speed is unmatched regardless of weight division, his prime, or whatever era is pretty LOL-worthy.

    Hell, Zab Judah, Amir Khan and Pacquiao are at least as fast as Floyd was. Let alone guys in the smaller weight cl***es like Rigondeaux. Let alone fighters from previous eras like Meldrick Taylor or Camacho.

    Floyd has good speed, but as mentioned above, it's more his timing that makes him effective.

    False lol Judah won 4 rounds by the way, and is a counter puncher with the same reach as Floyd. It wasn't just his speed.

    It's easy to look like greased lightning when you fight nothing but slow ***, plodding tortoises like Guerrero, Canelo and Chino

    It depends

    Do we mean who can swing a punch (like into the air "shadow boxing") or who is fastest at swinging a punch which connects "well" not some tap or something

    I never said floyd was the fastest I just said at first that people underestimate his speed sometimes, but yes his perfect timing plays a even bigger role but people act like he isnt quick sometimes which in fact he is and he is really quick.

    yes it seems like pacquiao looked faster all these years especially with combinations, but the question still remains what would of happened if floyd and pacquiao fought.

    why, is floyd a master of his game unlike all these muppets with losses? speed, is just one attribute of a boxers game right?

    Mayweather did'nt throw more than 2 punches at a time at Marquez, he was afraid to get countered.
    Marquez never really found out how fast Mayweather was, he only found out how quick he was.

    I thought Judah was clearly the faster fighter when they fought. He is just the mentally weaker fighter

    Cotto has average speed and Diaz has below average speed. A fighter like Pacquiao will seem like a blur to them.
    These types of fighters are in awe of Pacquiao's speed, why is'nt Marquez?

    There's ways to neutralize speed and the likes of Diaz and Cotto have'nt a clue.

    Mayweather fanatics give him high praise for making adjustments to Judah's dillema, only what top flight fighter has'nt????
    Thats the thing about Zab Judah, he's truly a mental midget and the accolades for Mayweather to have deciphered him should be made accordingly.
