Show me the video where Floyd is faster than Pacquiao? I've never seen the Floyd speed people talk about. I didn't think he was faster than Mosley, he just was more skillful.
@ 147 Floyd has 1 knockout in 6 welterweight bouts. That KO was against Hatton who prior to the Floyd fight had how many fights at Welterweight ? 1. Floyd has lost more than a step. He fights older fighters so he can look faster. He has to fight older fighters since he has no power @ 147 and above. Castillo and Oscar gave Floyd problems because they threw punches in volumes, used angles, were well conditioned and possessed power. He clearly avoids this prototype. This is why he is so reluctant to face Manny. It can't be coincidence that he managed to avoid Manny and Cotto at WW both warriors who throw a lot of punches are conditioned and use movement and are not over 35.
Is Manny slower? Yes Is he a better boxer now? Yes There's more to boxing than just speed. There's also power, footwork, intelligence, tactics, etc. While Manny has certainly gotten slower, he has improved in practically every other aspect of boxing.
seriously does it matter? the only fighter in the division w/ handspeed thats on par w/ Pacquiao's is Mayweather
Nope not even. Mayweather doubles pacquiao's speed. I noticed it when I compared videos of training. Plus, pacquiao really puts effort in speeding up his punches so it loses its sting, whereas Mayweather focuses on technique, thus better torque and more power in his punches. But if we have floyd attending to his legal problems I have to agree pacquiao is ok.
You must be either the biggest idiot ever or a troll-account. If you really think mayweather comes close to Mannys speed you seriously need to log off and think about what went wrong in your life. atsch
I pity you Pacroid huggers..... but will this shut you up?? I hope so. IT'S CALLED COURAGE AND SKILL UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-fFnUsjE6Q&feature=related[/ame]
in the first 5 sec of the vid i heard steward saying "this is not what a great great fighters would be doing" talking bout floyd's running. :rofl i can also here some boos here and there. :yep
frail boy can only exhibit his skills against weak fighters where power and hurt don't factor in. he won't get into a real fight where he knows he'll get hurt. shane had to pull his punches so as not to hurt frail boy.
