    If that is the fastest opponent Pac has ever faced no wonder #48 was no match for Mayweather, he never seen any fighter like him before!

    My troll radar is through the roof!

    Anyway, it's not like Floyd is relevant anymore. Just let it go man. Who cares who was faster. The faster their gone, the faster we can actually talk about boxing.

    Floyd was faster at hugging, and doing that IV jab to pump himself with vits and saline as to try avoid getting caught cheating.

    Nobody cares! For the love of God, get off his **** already. Who really gives a **** who was faster, who was stronger, or who was better in their teens, in their prime, as old farts, juiced or not juiced? The fight happened. It's over. Floyd retired. Manny is about to retire. Let them fade off and let's concentrate on the actual starts and upcoming stars we have today.

    Crawford, Thurman, Brooks, Lomanchenko, Canelo, Golovkin, Kovalev, these are some of the names we should be discussing and concentrating on.

    Anyone who knew boxing already knew that. PBF can throw one punch faster and can beat #48 to the punch all night better reflexes. #48 throws faster combos but the ability to get off first is more important and more useful in a fight than combo punching ability. His feet were also faster. I always said #48 was not used to fighting guys who are just as good as an athlete as him look how much Bradley troubled him and PBF is a better athlete than Bradley.

    1 punch speed is more important than combo punching speed because you're not going to be able to land combos on every fighter being able to out speed them to the punch is much more useful speed.:deal PBF is faster than #48 always has been.

    Also, Pac can't cut off the ring to save his life.

    Floyd's weakness is a good jab. Luckily for him, Pac's jab might as well not even exist.

    Pac also has no inside game. Look at how lost he was when Bradley clinched him. Floyd has a good inside game.

    Yes you are 100% correct. He has no jab can't cut off the ring a head hunter can't fight on the inside and doesn't make good adjustments. This is the main reason why I had no interest in a rematch between these two PBF is great in rematches #48 no so much.

    If Pac struggled against fast and slick fighters then how did he handle Ledwaba who was faster than Bradley and faster than Floyd was by time Pac fought him?

    Pac couldn't figure out Marquez in 4 fights. He wouldn't be able to figure out Floyd if they fought 10 times.
