    Who is the Faster fighter Hand and Foot speed and all around more agile.
    Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao?
    Please provide evidence or examples as to why you believe either fighter is the more agile and faster all around fighter.
    This is not a thread about PED's so leave that out for another thread.

    PBF - reflexes and getting your shot off first.
    Pac - combos and foot movement (even vs 130 PBF).

    I would give hand speed to Floyd by a small small margin, but footspeed to pacquiao. i don't have evidence because I cant use a radar gun ringside lol, but by my opinion and having them seen fight a whole lot. Over all more agile? Floyd probably, maybe because he uses it more, where as pacquiaos feet get him out of trouble more often than whole bodies agility. Both are great, no question.

    i believe Floyd has faster hand speed then Manny and that Floyd is more agile. However I think Manny has better Footspeed. also if I am not mistaken Floyds punch output is very low compared to Pacquiao.

    I voted for Floyd but I am a Pacquiao Fan. I think Pacquiaos speed has declined as he has moved up in weight. So I can be objective why cant others be objective as well? (In reply to lance Uppercut)

    Manny is the faster fighter.

    Anyone have the punch Pac dropped Mosley with on video? That shot was almost instantaneous!

    Floyd bests Pac in a few areas, and Pac bests Floyd in a few others. Overall, I voted even

    But hand speed is close, but 130 Floyd vs 130 Pac isn't close to me. Floyd is clearly faster
