featherweight version of pac that is. i think its a bit close, with russel having a bit of an edge in the hands department, but pac takes it with the footwork.
if anything pac has faster improper punches bc he is very unorthodox, and calzaghe is what 50 lbs heavier than a fw? be serious cuz. As for me gary russell is ridiculously fast probably faster than pac
By proper punches I mean punches delivered at full strength while turning your shoulders.
When Pac pitty pats he's about as fast as Russell Jr (03:40) :
Russell Jr is faster than Pac but so is Calzaghe. Pac has the faster proper punches.

that wasn't the point.................
people are easily led a stray from the original topic............
the topic was who's faster speed for speed. not effectiveness or power...........not even combinations. just speed for speed.
& speed for speed russell takes it for me................

i'll go so far as to say that pacquiao has never been as fast or as sharp as russel with his hands. that said, russel throws arm punches compared to pacquiao, who throws bombs. pacquiao's shots start with him digging his feet in and getting unreal explosion from his legs. at least they did when he was in his prime
manny's legs are as good as you'll ever see on any boxer in that regard.
i also think manny is a more accurate puncher.
ALL IN ALL think pac was faster and actually punched hard with every shot. Russel likes to pitty pat some of his shots like most of yall r saiying. either way both great athletes
From that video, I went to Gamboa-Solis highlight. Wow, much more impressive, blazing single punches, with actual power behind them, against a decent opponent. I can't wait to see Gamboa again.
Mr Russell, however, I was not impressed with that.

Pacquiao can punch 20 times in a second, keep up Gary.
