    I remember when everyone almost unanimously felt Pac had a handspeed advantage. I still think he can muster more power behind his shots per speed. Floyd can snap that jab. Their speed is definitely comparable, but I do think since Floyd had such a low threat that he could try getting off more.

    I think it's close. But the reach/speed/height of Mayweather, was that made it so dificult for Marquez. Out of those, Pac only has the speed advantage over Marquez.

    Mayweather is way faster. No comparison.

    JMM countered Pac and busted his face up easily.

    Mayweather is too fast and too slick. Makes Pac look like an amateur if Pac ever gets the balls to step in the ring with him.

    Slick and defensive are two different things. We're talking hand-speed not the chance of being open for counters.

    Stop being a Floyd nut huger for a second and use your brain. JMM looked terrible at this weight. I guess Pac demolishing Hatton made Floyd look amateurish?

    Pac in combination, Mayweather with a single punch.

    This is the truth.

    Caneman, at what weight is Pac in that video?

    This, the quickness of his right hand that he landed in round 2 was insane. It was as quick as I ever seen him throw. On top of his leaping left hooks he gets there before the Marquez could even get out a jab. Also, Floyd took Marquez jab away in one round b/c he countered it instantly and it never appeared again.

    IMO, Pacquiao was the speed and power advantage over Marquez. He KD Marquez 4 times.

    He also took away JMM's vaunted uppercut.
