Floyd does not have blazing hand speed

He doesn't have the pure blazing hands of fire speed, boxing technique, ring grace and and composure that Kevin McBride does, buit he's pretty close.

 

I don't think Floyd has really cherry-picked his opponents. He's a little guy and reached the point where it's time to start fighting for money first. When he fought Judah, Judah was still a top contender. After this, sure, he started fighting for money. Until then, he fought the best that was available. He should be given more credit. After all, he is a little guy.

 

And compare that to this:

i agree thats why they called him little floyd, he's always been the smaller man in the ring

 

Floyd is very fast. Not Zab or RJJ fast but he has great hand speed.

 

Floyd is fast, but I think it's more his reflexes.

 

I can not be bothered to argue in details nor to show videos etc. But I am pretty confident the guys like Ali, Jones, Leonard, have faster handspeed than Floyd.

But Floyd has equally fast feet with those guys when it comes to running around the ring like chickens.

 

Its easy to overrated Floyd's hand speed because his punches are so short and precise.

 

Right. While other punchers may be faster (Gamboa), Floyd's punches get there a hell of a lot quicker because of how short and zip line they are.

 

He didnt look mad fast against Oscar, or Judah, he looks that fast against a guy like Gatti who stood there and allowed Floyd to get off.

 

I'd argue that while PBF's hand speed (certainly above 140) isn't as great as some, his technical ability means that his punches get from A to B quicker than most.

 

His lead rights are damn fast, ask hatton

 

Hatton used to get hit with most punches.
