Do you think Pac looked a little slower in the Cotto fight?

    He was still extremely fast. I think it may have been a result of the fact that, for instance, with Hatton he was able to just swing away and with Cotto there were counterpunches coming back, particularly in the first few rounds. So, he had to be more cautious and thus threw less against his larger opponent.

    He wasn't very clear, but I think he was trying to say that Mosley is faster than Floyd/Zab/Pacquiao and would beat them all. That is false, though I think it is what he was getting at.

    What does the outcome of the fight have to do with the actual question? Try to focus. I said Zab was faster than Floyd. I didn't say he beat him, or that he was better than him. Just faster hands. Not by much, though, but faster.

    A bit slower, but maybe because Pac physically built himself a lot in order to take Cotto's punches. He needed to get his muscles warmed up in the first round.

    Zab was certainly as fast or faster than either one.

    But he has no, heart, no character and no balls.

    Manny at 140 and above is a bit slower than he used to be...but he is still faster than most welterweights. I wish he would move back down to 135 so we could see his combos again.

    Pac was still fast. Cotto is not slow.

    Maybe slowed down abit but at a higher weight he definitely sat down on alot more of his punches.

    Floyd Sr thought Pac was too fast and too strong that he was instantly scared for his son and that's the root of the random blood testing brouhaha.
