The Idiot Acid Test: Who Currently Has The Better Timing - Pacquiao Or Mayweather?

wait wait, so mayweather's timing, despite being against a fat featherweight, wasn't AMAZING against marquez?

i'd say it trumps pac's performance against hatton. for me, it's not as clear cut as you portray it to be

 

On the flip side...lol if you are an offensive guy... with hand speed.. your timing does not have to be top notch to land.. b/c you are throwing a lot of punches. with speed.. and in Pac's case against guys with bad defense and one with leaky defense.

 

it's a pretty good connect percentage really especially when your opponent does not want to engage.

 

He is on another forum where he will proceed to copy and paste some other idiots argument and paste it here. Although he will be thoroughly destroyed(he always is) once the scenarios are played out. He is basing this **** off of two fights with Fighters who get hit a lot by everyone. Cotto could not escape Margarito's punches.. and I guess Margarito got great timing as well too..lol

 

true enough and i think there are even better examples of his constantly improved timing

as stated the cotto fight for one but also morales and yes, marquez 2 at times.

 

haha, i like san enough. despite his anger in this thread, he's usually a damn good poster

 

Its average in every since of the word. There is really no excuses.. Some fighters know how to make a fighter that dont want to engage .. engage. Barrera did not run as he does not have great legs anyway. He just stayed out of Pac's range... made Pac have to work to get his shots in. Thus 37%.

 

we can all say that pac's timing since he fought david diaz is very impressive. the fact that he times his opponent very well while he is doing all his other flashy skills makes it more awesome IMO. Look at his first KD of Hatton in round 1, the moment hatton was throwing a shot, Pac sharpshoots him with a right hook and ducked to his right at the same time to avoid hatton's punch. that **** is timing and coordination at the highest level. You could find a lot of these in the DLH and Cotto fight. In his second KD of cotto, it was the same, cotto was throwing a punch and was open, Pac who was coming forward took advantage and shoots a left hook/uppercut in a blink of an eye. It was so fast anyone could think pac landed a lucky shot in the middle of a slugfest but i think that punch was perfectly timed by pacquiao the moment he saw cotto cocked his arm.

Floyd is a different animal. he prefers to stay calm and focused while he times his opponent, usually he lets them tee off while he is on the ropes doing that roll then he times them with a straight right hand that looks like a laser shot but has the power of a jab.

 

Check this clown out.. Cant even talk **** properly. This is too ****ing easy. Sit your failed ass thread making ass down somewhere with all this hypothetical bull****. Nobody is feeling your ****** logic but a few *******s that will convince themselves of anything to make Pac superior to Floyd. Regardless of the facts. You say compubox means nothing. But we are talking about great timing. A fighter with great timing dont miss more than half of his shots.. b/c he has great timing. Unless you are a dick riding ***** that gets excited when a nice shot lands to only miss the other 10 shots that missed. Yeah Pac hit Cotto with some great punches.. he also missed a **** load too. Hence why Cotto as able to survive as long as he did.

 

controlling distance is tied in with timing though. that's the thing, timing is hard to define as it's needed for so many aspects of fighting. footspeed and agility were essential yes but his timing was superb.

 

average? i don't have any statistics on compubox punch stats but i think the last pac-jmm fight, both of them has around 25-29% punch connect and both are very tactical and wary of each others punches of most part. and jmm was a fairly accurate puncher. so yes 37% connect rate is pretty good especially when your opponent is always on the backfoot.
