Who was more athletic, Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao?

Goddamn moron thinks work rate is athleticism.

 

Paul Williams had a high work rate I guess he was a super athlete to right?

 

To me, athleticism is range of motion and physical ability to be explosive with movements. Pac had obscene athleticism, which is why despite his sometimes too busy footwork and being off balance, dropping him was an extremely difficult task. To switch directions as quickly as he does requires extreme athleticism.

Athletic Fighters

Lomachenko
Bam Rodriguez (maybe)
Crawford

 

What? I'm saying work rate does NOT equal athleticism. Shot Jesus Soto-Karass threw 1,850 punches a few years ago.

 

I agree. I was agreeing with you.

 

Didn't Pac play basketball as well?

 

Manny. Hands down. He was faster, more active, would take angles and had a pendulum step that never stopped. He climbed multiple weight divisions, more than Floyd. It's really an easy question to answer.

 

Depends on if we are talking offensive athleticism or defensive Athleticism.

as they were both equally as athletic but used it differently regarding their fighting styles.

 

Both super athletic
I got Floyd, but no arguments with anyone favouring manny

 

Naseem Hamed

 

Me..

 

I bet most people are basing this off Money Mayweather and not Pretty Boy Floyd. Pretty Boy version is much more athletic than Pac.

 

Mayweather , no doubt.
