I told people for years that pbf was faster and had better footwork than PAC

    You right but these knuckle heads ain't trying to hear that. They stuck on stupid. The truth is, it really didn't matter how he came into the ring because he would've still lost. He was in there with a better fighter.

    Exactly no way was pbf going to lose to a guy who can only fight at one range with no jab who can't adjust. This is the same PAC who went life and death with jmm for 4 fights. It's just nothing but wishful thinking and hate.

    You are aware that people can actually read what you post arent you. My last turd provided me with more boxing insight than you seem capable of. I have not read one praiseworthy post from you. Not one. It is all regurgitated drivel. Copy and paste etc or cliches shamelessly stolen from other threads. Absolute and utter garbage. You are a disgrace and you really ought to be extremely embarrassed with your poor performance.

    Mayweather just looked all around faster, with much better functional speed. Pacquaio always seemed to be a step behind, my only regret is Mayweather didn't apply more pressure, although he won, he should have chopped Pacquiao to pieces.

    Floyd is slower but has better timing and skills. It's also easier to be faster when you only throw single shots as Floyd does.
    The best ever and he can't even throw combinations? Give me a break.
    Floyd has never been able to throw fluid combinations at any weight, look how much Augustus tagged him when he tried throwing his jerky combinations in that fight.

    Combos are overrated skills aren't. Why throw combos when you don't need to? Pbf is clearly the faster fighter and can throw one punch faster and more accurately.

    I can't be bothered to read the reasons of this headline, but the simple fact is running away is easier than running forward without being reckless and being effective offensively.

    Pac clearly had the faster hands, Floyds reach held an advantage but we saw how easily Pac evaded Floyds offence even if very little. Most of the jabs and ''landed'' shots were ineffective and landed on the gloves or arms, Pac's shots rocked Floyd, if Pac did pitter patter ineffective shots then his handspeed would look incredible, but single shots were harder and faster, Floyd didn't throw combos so nothing said there.

    Pac didn't look how he usually does I grant you, but end of the day the best you cna score the fight is a draw and that's being generous.

    There were several key moments where Pacquiao closed distance and Mayweather clinched and then pushed Pacquiao off of him like the lightweight Pacquiao is.
    A lightweight would not be able to push Pacquiao off in that matter and as a result would most likely eat punches for it.

    The fourth and 6th rounds where Pacquiao took Mayweather to the ropes, where Mayweather covered up using his high guard defense......
    .......that highguard defense gets broken through if its Pacquiao who's the physically stronger fighter, which he most certainly was not.

    Against both Pacquiao and Marquez, Mayweather is simply the naturally bigger fighter in every way......height, reach, and physical strenghth. A fighter would have to be significantly more skilled than Mayweather to overcome such disadvantage.

    You take two equally skilled fighters and have just one carry the height, reach, and strenght advantage, and I'll tell you that 99 times out of 100 the fighter with the advantages will win and win clearly. My point being is that its not all about skill, physical advantages in boxing play a big part.

    I concede that you are indeed 33.33% correct.

    If Pacquiao doesn't start slow and drop the first two rounds, the fight is a draw. People getting too carried away with their scoring.

    But Pac's chances REQUIRED him to get off to a speedy start. He couldn't. Floyd was too good, and Pac lacked the speed, skill, and intelligence to have a fast start.

    Pac just didn't have the feet, and Floyd exhibited his vast superiority in footwork.
