    Mayweather (by a slight margin), though I could easily be wrong. I can't really tell how much, since my opinions stem from youtube videos.

    Power/speed combo goes to Pac, tho I think Mayweather is more of the Speed/accuracy type.

    I think PAC is but only by a little....Probably as fast as Zab. But still very close in terms of speed.

    Foot speed to go in and out - Pac

    Foot speed to run - Floyd

    han, you have to still say he the best defenvie fighter that pacquiao will have seen. and the southpaws that have given a bit of problems, corley and judah, he was able to adjust., if you see those fights.

    Floyd is quicker with the straight right and counter. Many throws quicker combos im not even sure floyd throws combos anymore

    I saw those fights and I saw the adjustment to the high guard. And he is no defensive master when he is in the high guard. Sure it worked better than his philly shell but that is only becasue the philly shell sucks royal donkey dick against southpaws. In his high guard his defense is only above average.

    Pacquiao's feet are far faster, but Floyd's punches, while perhaps not outright faster, are certainly sharper and more accurate (then again he mostly throws single punches or short combos, whereas Pac just lets em fly). At this stage, I'd probably give Pac the edge in speed. A prime 130 pound Floyd was clearly faster, though.

    Its Pac. At every stage of his career since he fought Ledwaba, Pac has been a faster p4p fighter than Floyd

    However when he was below 122 Pac's speed was nothing special. Shows that handspeed can be both innate and acquired

    PBF's speed is more effective and it will become apparent when the two meet. PBF will be able to land and counter Pac with his more accurate shots. While Pac's workrate and combo punching will be reduced he will be frustrated when he realizes his balls to the wall approach won't work and that he's actually in a boxing match against a master defensive counter-puncher.:deal

    I would agree, but I would also say Mayweather is more accurate of the two!
