    FINALLY, after the past 2 months of everything being closed off, we can see Pacquiao's state right now. It's one thing to see shadow-boxing, but now we can see the true punching + foot speed.

    Here's a first glimpse at Pac's current state three days before the fight. He looks light on his feet, and very, very fast. I'm hype!

    I actually started getting emotional watching this (I've cried at least once the past 4 days) because once again, it's hitting me that in 3 days FLOYD is facing him! Usually when I watch his training vids, I'd think, "Wonder how Floyd would handle that..." and now, it's real. It's so real. It's so amazing. I can't believe I'm going to see both of them in the ring.


    Just really appreciate this moment guys. They're preparing for EACHOTHER and were almost there.

    Here are the first real glimpses...

    In the second vid, notice the last two combinations... straight left, right hook, straight left to body.

    They said they had a secret weapon, could it be the right hook? Or a specific combination?

    I'm sorry guys, but I just don't think it's humanely possible to be able to duck and weave two punches that fast, let alone one. By the time your brain processes the move you need to make, send those motor neurons back down to tell your muscles, and then to move...Pac's too fast. You can't physically move your body faster than Pac is moving his hands. Then, coming from weird angles?

    It's just... so difficult. Floyd gets top 10 all-time if he can beat even this version of Pacquiao.

    That's why you're not a boxer, and namely one of the atg's of our generation who's known for being one step ahead of the others.
    Wait for floyd to let that b.s. Combo catch him.

    In the first video, Freddie walks him down and makes him move away and counter. I think (from that small clip) that they may be anticipating Floyd fighting Pac, like he fought Judah in the second part of the fight, and Mosley, and Guerrero mostly...walking him down with a high guard and keeping pressure on Pac. Interesting.

    Ok this isn't a question of skill it's a question of human capability. Dodging ONE SHOT maybe BUT 3, 4, etc???

    It's not humanely possible no matter how skilled he is. His body isn't as fact as Pac's hands. His brain MAY be, but his body isn't.

    there you go again showing your inexperience, you stop 3,4,5,and 6 by not letting him get off the 1and 2.
    The same way you said judah wasn't fast and was proven wrong, you need too watch more, and talk less

    I'm going to explain why.

    There's a magic tick I do, and you can do it to.

    Get a dollar bill and put it flat on a table. Then ask someone to put there hand 5 inches or so above the dollar. Then you but your hand 5 or so inches above that persons hand.

    You're 10 inches away from the dollar and they are only 5. Now tell them, "The second you see me move, you can grab the dollar. Now, you're closer to it so you should be able to grab it right?" Most of them will agree.

    Watch though, every single time, you will be able to go beneath their hand and grab the dollar, even if you're that much higher above their hand and the dollar. It's frustrating when the other persons hand is so close.

    Why?

    Because the amount of time, even if it's less than a second, that it takes for your mind to process "her hand moved" "now must move my hand" and for those motor neurons to travel all the way from your eyes, process it in your brain, then send the motor neurons to your arm to move... It takes too long when the other person, who's just as fast but farther away, have already gone for the dollar.

    Same thing with Pac/May, both are fast, but Pacquiao will already be going for the dollar and by the time Floyd processes "he's coming, it's a right hook, raise hand, turn shoulder," and for all those signals to go where they need to be, it takes too long when Pac's body is already committed!

    It's not humanely possible. I'm sorry. Floyd is incredible, but he's not a super-hero.

    Abuffy and Puff

    Just stop!!

    we're like 3 days away from the fight.

    Let's hope for 0 robbery and a great great fight.

    If there's a blatantly robbery, I'm going to be so ****ed off.

    Lmao I've never in my life said Judah wasn't fast. In fact, he's probably one of the few fast fighters Floyd has faced who could compare to Floyd's speed.

    You need to take the blinds off your eyes and read clearly.

    I'm sorry your ****ogy makes no sense, you take out a major factor called anticipation, studying and knowing your enemy, and what they do before they unleash their fury, or combo, some drop their lead hand, some take a half a step, while others eithe square their shoulders, or drop one ever so slightly.

    That ability to see that, is the difference between good and great.

    Don't make me find the thread, I even went the extra step and brought up an old thread that was a poll on boxers with elite hand speed, and judah was among them.
