There has been a lot of debate on whether Floyd or Manny was faster.
Both are fast, quick even at their age. But who is most accustomed to fighting opponents with speed, quickness.
Looking back past 3 years, past 5 or so fights.
Which opponents were faster? quicker?
Marquez, Bradley, Rios, Algieri for Pacquiao or Cotto, Alvarez, Maidana, Guerrero for Mayweather?
Like everyone else I voted for Pacquiao's opponents averaging out faster than Mayweather's opponents. The overall speed of Bradley and Marquez when they fought Pacquiao made the difference for me.
Bradley has the fastest hands out of all those fighters and best overall boxer. Slowest hands is a tie between Rios and Maidana. Fastest feet belongs to the master runner Algieri. Slowest feet belongs to rios guerrero and alvarez
Hmmm, not sure I agree.
Decent speed I suppose, kind of.
i've only seen him in prov fight before pac fight.
maybe ruslan made his seem faster than he really is.

*im rating it 1-10 with just these fighters only does not include any other fighter
The better opposition was Floyd's. The faster opposition was Manny's
opposition quality wasn't the question, tumor.
but bradley is a p4p fighter so was jmm.
of course Bradley, and algieri for pac. Cotto is average, alvarez is average, maidana is average, Guerrero is slow.
brandon "Everlast 100lb." rios bumps the pac avg down though. :D
All Floyd's guys have Rios type speed. It wasn't Maidana's awkwardness that enabled him to land those punches. Floyd had a real hard time dialing back to gauge that "speed"!
