    Look it, I'll make it clear and obvious, Pacquioa DOES NOT have the fastest hands in boxing. I'm not saying he isn't fast, but a lot of his shots look like it can be blocked.

    He does not have invincible speed like some people think he does.

        With his own AMAZING speed, defense, timing, and ring smarts. Floyd's speed is one of the best in the game. He just doesnt throw a ton of flurries like Pacquiao. His defense is the best. His timing is unmatched. Hit and not be hit ratio is by far the best in boxing, and he is extremely smart in the ring. Makes great adjustments. He will lower Manny's workrate by frustrating him and throwing him off his game.Manny won't throw 80 punches a round when he's not landing much and when he's getting countered by Floyd. He will miss more punches than he ever has and that gets you more fatigued than landing shots.

          timing.

          but Pac will take rounds because of those two things.

            Wait... did everyone forget how absolutely amazing Mayweather's defense is? Also, he still has spectacular speed.

            Like it or not, Pacquiao is still a two-punch guy.

              By fighting. Mayweather will get hit like never before. (as in with more shots than ever before). This is going to be a good one.

                  The last time you saw him fight, he was 30, now he is 32 and will be coming off a 19 months layoff.

                  How do you know he still have the speed?

                    Mayweathers main weapon is timing. But he should do this by throwing counter combinations like what jmm did to pac. The downside that im seeing on mayweather is he loves to lie on the ropes do the shouder roll defense, I believe this strategy wont work against pacquiao. He should keep the fight in the center of the right and out box and counter the filipino. This fight will be pbf toughest fight pacquiao is so unpredictable he's very hard to time. To those who say he is not fast wtf?! The kid is very fast and what makes him dangerous is he's a very unorthodox fighter. With that speed, power, style and southpaw stance he's a very difficult matchup for anybody. People say hes not fast because he's not as technical as mayweather, judah, leonard, jones or mosely. But he throws fast punches in a unique style more like a martial artist than a boxer. This will be an even matchup.
