I had debates about who was faster here in ESB... I said Pac was faster but alot disagrees... What are your thoughts?
Shane is the great one of Mosley and Judah. Zab is not worth talking about. Manny would stop Zab in a few rounds. Shane on the other hand is a strong welterweight with a lot of experience and is strong inside. I think Manny would be fast for Shane, but Shane would not be slow either. That would be a good fight. I still think Manny and his corner avoided fighting him. Shane would have been a bigger fight even than Cotto.
They're all pretty even in terms of pure handspeed but what separates Pac from both is he also has footspeed. And just the sheer volume of punches... he can keep a torrid pace throwing punches like that for 12 rounds, and it's just nonstop.
Being fast alone doesn't mean much. The punches need to land, and the opponent has to feel them. Malignaggi and Khan are probably faster than all three of the fighters you mentioned, but would get eaten by Shane and Pacman (maybe not Judah).
Zab is still faster. If anything manny looked slower. Which is still fast for him. But indeed slower.
Where the hell did I say that its just punches? Fast in general... Punch, footspeed, body movement, combinations, head movement.
I'd say Zab is faster but can't through the combo's as he doesnt have that engine. Shane is Fast but not in that league would be a great fight to see as I think he hits harder than Cotto.
I freakin hate pac. ******* buh yes hes fastest fighter out of the 3. more importantly hes got a better timing and ability to land and from what i saw yesterday more power somhow. he is now according to me the most accomplished of this era and the greatest of all tym
Pac is much faster and it isnt even close. Prime Mosley is faster then Both while pre-chicken dance Judah was about the same as many. But as of today, Pac by a mile
They both have faster hands than Manny, especially Shane. But they don't have the same activity as Manny. He's just a ball of energy with flurry after flurry after flurry.
