    i was at a press conference yesterday for my boys fight (JOSH MARKS IS BACK FROM THE ARMY :happy AND WILL BE FIGHTING ON THE CELESTINO CABALLERO CARD HERE BY MY PAD ON THE 29TH OF THIS MONTH) and in the crowd i heard 4 guys talking, 2 black and 2 mexicans....the black guys were saying that floyd is a lot quicker then manny, and that floyds gonna knock manny's block off.....i agreed that floyd will beat him, but i didn't agree with them that floyd has the faster hands......plus, i told them that floyd uses his speed for pop shotting and defense while manny uses it to throw combos and really hurt his opponents.....the mexican guys agreed with me, but they really think that manny's gonna whoop floyd....

    anyways, who do you guys think has that quicker hands ???

    I picked Pac due to his tendency to throw fast combo's rather than fast single shots. Floyd back at SFW was probably faster than Pac though.

    Pac Got it. But PBF's own speed and timing will beat all that.

    Unless Floyd has lost something, it's him.

    Floyd's handspeed in the Gatti fight was incredible (why didn't he stay @ 140). Floyd in his absolute prime is as fast or faster than Pac, i'll make a decision after the Marquez fight.
