Faster hand speed: Pacquiao or Mosley?

Mosley by a country mile. Manny is fast, but half of his speed is him being all over the place, and punching before you are expecting to see a punch thrown. Don't get me wrong, he has fast hands, but not Mosley Fast.
Mosley is up there in the top 5 fastest hands of the last 30 years. Just everything about Mosley is fast, his body movement, foot movement, everything is just twitchy fast.
Only people I can think of that can really match him are Camacho, and Meldrick Taylor.
Watch from 1:20
People seem to remember the 147-154 Mosley, his prime was at 135, and he was lightning.Last edited by !! Shawn; 03-14-2015, 01:45 AM.

Both guys were buzzsaws with superior hand speed and superior foot work as well. I think Manny might edge Mosley in combinations but Shane's hooks were like blinding fast. Love them both in their primes and never tire of watching them work their stuff. Needless to say, prime RJJ was another hand speed beast. His 1-2 combination knockdown of Reggie Johnson was just stupid fast.

Mosley is fast, but saying he is faster than Pac by a country mile is extreme lol. Pacquiao is fast as well, but more so his feet. You make it out like he is Kelly Pavlik or Maidana type slow when you said country mile hahaha.
Pac at 126 was pretty quick, fast hands but man his foot work speed is the most impressive like non stop motion he punches while moving.

Pacquiao is fast, I said that. But its a different level. Also, everyone looks fast shadowboxing, putting together combinations. But its the difference between really fast and once in a generation fast. Shane is Once in a Generation fast.
Pacquiao is really fast.
There are guys that are just on a different level, the Mosleys, Meldrick Taylors, Hector Camacho's. They stand out for their speed alone.

Pacquiao is no longer as fast as he used to be. But when fighters joke that they fought two people, or an octopus, that tells you a lot about the handspeed. Pacquiao is all-time great fast. Floyd is all-time great fast one shot explosion and reflexes.

Pacquiao probably edges it in combination speed (like his 2 piece special), but Mosely could unleash a left hook or straight right out of nowhere to leave someone looking at the lights.
