    Slightly slower in the second video. But you can see that in his bouts also...the guys added muscle as he has moved up, so you can expect it to affect his speed ever so slightly.

    Getting older and heavier.......

    If he wasn't getting slow I would be suspicious

    Well the higher the weight catergory the slower he is going to get, so yes he has slowed down.

    Slowest i have seen him (hand speed) is vs margerito and this is because he was over his natural weight.

    Pacquiaos speed in that first video makes me respect Morales and Marquez a little more now

    Handling such speed is a true skill

    Slowed significantly would be if Pacquiao moved up to Welter and his speed dropped to say a Marquez type speed. His overall speed has not dropped significantly...it has dropped slightly.

    Plus, it's hardly noticeable. Because he is fighting bigger guys, they are naturally slower...which makes Pacquiao look very fast.

    That's what the haters are saying: that Pac maintained his speed as he went up in weight. Damn idiots so blinded by hate they make **** up.

    slight change in speed obviously. He's still one of the fastest fighters in boxing right now.
