    Manny fought people with decent hand speed.

    But he hasn't fought anyone with fast legs.

    Which is why Mayweather should be able to box Manny to a decision pretty easily.

    Fast feet? Mayweather does not have it anymore. He has fast waist, like bendie dolls.

    That is actually his style now! Either bend forward, backwards, sidewards, left, right - but his feet is stationary. He is actually like a contortionist in the ring. Just see JMM fight and you can count more than 20 times he bent in absurb low levels.


    A fighter who is a good body puncher would have success against him.

    lol you serious?

    Floyd had fast legs in the Marquez fight. His jabs to the body are because of fast legs. His left hooks are because of fast legs. His defensive style is because of fast legs.

    Go rewatch it. Full fight on youtube from HBO.

    You know that Mosley recently said that Mayweather has the fastest legs of anyone he's ever fought, hands down?

    and Mosley is a guy with a pretty gangster resume who faced all the real killers, but the 33 year old Mayweather he faced had the quickest legs
     
  6. he didnt use his legs that much in that fight.
    In all honesty a possible scenario that I could see happening would be pac vs mayweather to go like leonard vs duran 2 without the no mas.

    Floyd at 135 wasn't really that impressive a fighter.

    Pac that beat David Diaz would've ****ed up Sosa just as bad if not worse.


    Pac has faced faster fighters than Sosa, like Sasakul and Barrera

    watch the Marquez and Mosley fights closer. Look at the times when Floyd backpedals from an assault

    Floyd's slowed down now. He is past prime.

    Then who should have Pac fought in the last 10 years? give me your list?

    Hold and Clinch wont work with Pac anymore. It you try, pac will nail you with an uppercut or rt hook! That's if your lucky to avoid the straight left!

    He didn't do that to Hatton. He attacked Hatton when he was crossing no man's land

    Rick Hat didn't have the skillset to successfully cross no man's land. This **** is like World War I. You can get your AZZ shot if you don't know how to leave the trenches, son.
