    Froid is fast at running and hugging. It a shame that he still got taught a lesson in defense and counter punching but a so called one dimensional fighter.

    Floyd is quick with excellent reflexes and Manny is fast with well timed angles.

    Too bad he didn't show up in their matchup for whatever reasons.

    I know Floyd reminded him of his wipeout with Marquez's "right"


    I wasn't really interested in this initial matchup at this stage and definietly not interested in any rematches....!!!

    He did not look faster of hands at all. Floyd didn't land **** in that fight either.

    Floyd is better at using the ring. Regardless if its running or rope a dope. He is a master of real estate! :D

    I disagree. He has some speed but he's not really that fast. I don't really no what you're looking at. If you think Ledwada is faster than PBF.

    I say let them spout nonsense of Ledwaba being faster than Floyd, one thing they won't argue is who is the smartest fighter

    I always believed that Floyd and Manny were about equal in single punch speed. (Amount of time it takes them to throw a jab is equal for example)

    I still believe after the fight they are.

    The difference is, Mayweather's punches are 6 inches longer. The reach advantage, plus the fact that he uses his quick upper body movements to get into the punch makes it faster in MPH, but the amount of time it takes is the same almost. He was able to start throwing before PAC was, this made all the difference in the fight. Once Pac was about to step into his own range, mayweather would simply throw a punch while moving back. Pacquaio comes up 6-8 inches short, mayweather lands and moves away.

    I was surprised how fast he was. Pac really has slowed down

    yeah fluid beat pac by hugging and getting out countered. Fluid had to cheat and use xylocaine and still got schooled by a one armed smaller fighter.

    Be proud of your cheating hero, you can join a lot of lance armstrong fans in denial.

    Don't feed the troll. Manny Pacquiao wins this match under any other circumstances than the very dubious ones that took place. I have no want for a re-match, I'd rather see the NSAC and USADA investigated by the federal government for giving the sport such an black eye.

    Floyd was better in all that....

    But he could have showed it fighting much better fighters in his prime.
