Why do people say that Pacquiao is faster than Mayweather?

§

Here's the evidence:

1) OSCAR DE LA HOYA:
When Oscar and his team threw in the towel they said: 'HE'S TOO FAST, there's no point continuing'
DLH couldn't see where the punches were coming from. After DLH fought Mayweather there was no comment on Mayweather's speed.

2) RICKY HATTON:
After the KO Bernard Hopkins spoke to Hatton and said Hatton had no clue what hit him or where it came from. The punches were too fast.

3) DAVID DIAZ:
'Yeah, he was too fast. The ****er was too fast.' Jim Lampley: Did you have any idea coming here that he would be that way?
David Diaz: No, I actually saw him on tape and I was like "Yeah, I could deal with that speed," you know. The power was the one I was worried about. But he was too ****ing too fast man. Fast, fast, fast.
Jim Lampley: Amazingly fast.

'Cause he was fast, he was faster than what I expected. I could deal with the power, but it was the speed was more than I thought it was. And I got tricked by his speed.

I THINK David Diaz is trying to say Manny is fast.


4) The list of boxers commenting on Pacquiaos speed goes on and on.


THERE IS NOT ONE COMMENT FROM BOXERS REGARDING MAYWEATHER'S SPEED. IT's all about his skill, slipperyness and ring intelligence.


PACQUIAO IS NOT JUST FASTER HE'S MUCH MUCH FASTER, END OF DISCUSSION.

 

But this isnt a matter of Opinion this is something thats Fact Mayweather is Faster.
Its like saying I think Deion Sanders is Faster then Bolt prime for Prime when its obvious Bolts faster. This isnt an opinion its a lie to further protect my Bias mind state that I like football better then Track.

People that like sluggers better then Boxers just want pac to be faster when fact is Mayweather is quicker no opinion its a Fact

 

Read my post above please. There is no doubt Floyd beats Pac with skill and ring intelligence. BUT HE IS NOT FASTER, and that is evidenced by what I have written above.

 

He's faster at throwing combos but he can't get off as fast as PBF can. Which makes his speed IMO more effective.

 

After their fight on March 2010 we should know who's faster!

 

Ok so the thing with Pac is that his punches are so random opponents dont even know where the punches are coming from so its harder to gauge.
However with PBF you know wheer the punches are coming from yet u still cant stop them.

I would think that would make u the faster fighter since ur opponents knows its coming but they cant do anything about it.
With Pac its a guessing game where tehy are coming from.

The difference in speed is not that great but I think PBF is faster.

 

Disagree. I think Floyd is faster, by a hair. And that's with one punch. Manny's hands (2) are faster when throwing combos.

 

Pac's speed or illusion of it comes from his angles and combinations. Floyd throws 1 punch at a time at fast pace, when he throws a combo it looks like a combo, when Pac throws one its a bit like a machine gun. 5 punches in a plit second...its ridiculous. So whereas you may be able to see a very fast punch coming at you, I doubt you can see 5 very fast punches coming at you, hence why they think "speed".

 

pac will be pwnt march 13th...don't matter how fast he hits the heavybag:thumbsup

 

We will still see who is faster. It does not have to be the winner, but we will se who is faster. And you can't say it is clear that Mayweather is faster. That makes you lose credibilty.

 

judah was faster than maywether...hmmmm...tell mayweathers right hand that...he landed it bout 200 times on judah's face with judah left to just hit low...mayweather is faster than judah and he is faster than pac...maybe as fast i guess...but he has everything else going for him in that fight, strength, balance, footwork, jab, defense, headmovement etc etc etc

 

it is clear that maywether is a better boxer....that gains u cred after march 13th

 

stupid post..

 

No its not. The best person to ask is the one that fought both pac and mayweather.

The punches that floyd cannot see or react on time are the one that will put him on the canvas :yep
