    Who Was Ultimately Faster Floyd or manny?

    Everyone knows Floyd was quicker [reflexes], but who was faster overall? I watched their fight several times. Speed didn't seem important.

    Pacquiao had faster hands/combinations, but as you said Mayweather has better reflexes. Reflexes are more valuable, ask Khan.

      good eye robbie

      Speed wasn't displayed so much because manny wasn't allowed to bust out buncha combos in their fight

          This right here.

          Floyd was faster to process which is more important than speed itself.

              everyone knows? this sounds like the trump "some people say..." why not just say i think he had quicker reflexes. if you watch their fight floyds reflexes didnt look better as his head kept getting rocked around while manny largely avoided most of floyds punches cept for harmless grazing jabs, not that floyd nor pac were in their prime but everyone knows? in their actual fight pac had the better counters catching floyd with hard lefts over floyds jab(which is why he didnt throw it with any authority) and catching floyd spinning away after a floyd miss with his right hook or power hook/jab often. floyds counters were basically sticking his left glove out and pushing on pacs head. hardly a clean or legal punch if you follow the rules.

                  you can have a faster mind but that doesnt mean your mind is fast enough to deal with the speed of someone or something else. "but my mind is faster" you mumble as you get off the canvas." cool story bro! its kind of something to say when you dont have any real substance to an argument. its something that can never really be proven or disproven. seems like an excuse for floyds poor performance against pac and lack of clean punching. well he didnt do much but throw out a grazing jab but his mind was really moving! meanwhile pac the mindless dumb zombie was just in there throwing punches at random and catching floyd much cleaner and harder. so unfair
