Pacquiao & Mayweather 4 opponents: Rank them in terms of Speed & Foot work.

you would have to make 2 different lists then. one for speed and one for footwork. really hard to make a list with both of those combined because its a preference if you like speed over footwork, meaning everybody lists will be hella different.

Bradley
Cotto
Canelo
JMM
Algeri
Maidana
Guerrero
Rios

imn going with more speed then footwork. when u had footwork, Cotto is the best out of anyone. but Bradley is slighty faster so Bradley is first. Canelo is 3rd because he has good speed but hes footwork is no where near Cottos

 

Exactly. That being said, Brandon Rios is the worst in both categories.

 

Rios is terrible and i cant believe Pac actually fought him! My goodness!

 

What would really make this list interesting is if you added power to the equation.

 

According to him, Rios was a "good opponent" and "not a tune-op fight". A lot of his ******ed ass fans were calling him "a dangerous opponent" as well. Dude's a complete ****ing bum relative to Pacquiao, and that fight was an absolute sham. The Algieri fight isn't much better, either, and it's at a catchweight, which Pacquiao's team demanded because they didn't want the taller Algieri coming in with too much of a size advantage despite the fact that he fights at 140. :verysad

 

How about just ranking best to worst?

 

Ok my best to worst of the eight.

1. Cotto
2. Marquez (even though Bradley beat him I think Marquez could be an ATG)
3. Bradley
4. Alvarez
5. Maidana
6. Guerrero
7. Rios
8. Algieri

 

It would appear that your list is based more on actual accomplishments than H2H...

 

Manny has fought the quickest and the slowest of the bunch.

Floyd has fought a more consistent speed of fighter , with Cotto edging it.

 

@Cormega

It is, since only 2 of the 8 have actually fought each other, that I know of, and hypothetical match ups are hard to call. Though I think Alvarez and Cotto probably beat the other 6, all things being equal.

 

@Cormega

I actually think they have fought SIMILARLY skilled opponents in there last 4 (or will have if we count Algieri)

Algeri =Guerrero
Bradley = Cotto
Marquez = Alvarez
Rios = Maidana

This list is not a reflection of what I think these fighters would do head to head, nor am I saying they have the same skill sets. I think Pacquiao has fought the more skilled of his last 4 while Mayweather's last 4 were the more powerful or physically stronger as a whole.
