    How Will Pac Deal With Floyd's Speed?

    This is a real talk thread so dont come in here just to talk smack. I mean this question in a serious way. I ask this because when the Pac-Cotto fight started, the whole HBO team asked about that. They said that Cotto is probably the fastest guy Pac has faced. They said JMM is probably the fastest guy he's fought and he's not even a speed guy. Thats why they thought Cotto had some success early.

    Alot of people just look at it like Pac has mad speed so its no problem but its still different when youre in the ring with another super fast guy. You can say what you want about Floyd's opponents but he's recently fought 3 Southpaws in Mitchell, Corley, Zab, and all of them were very fast guys. Pac can spar with Porter & Khan but its still not the same as a real fight. Alot of people think Pac is the faster guy. That can be debated but Floyd has fought other fast guys in the ring and Pac hasnt. They said that last night about Cotto. They said that he's fought fast guys like Mosley & Zab so Pac wont scare him. We found out differently as the fight went on but even with that, Cotto is still a slow guy. Floyd isnt. Do you think that might trouble Pac in any way.

    Again, I just watched Floyd Zab and the speed of that matchup was crazy. Pac has never had a fight like that where both guys were super fast and super quick. Floyd is quick with movement, quick with punches, and quick with his D. I think that could trouble Pac some

      It wont be floyds speed at all. Itll be the counterpunches and the footwork.

      Cotto was able to outbox Floyd for long stretches of time in those closing rounds, and floyd can do that much better.

      Although, Cottos jab is what was so effective, and Floyd doesnt use a jab.

      Should be interesting fight, but u gotta favor floyd

            Manny is faster,the real question is how Floyd will handle Manny's full on work rate.

              Yeah and on top of that, Pac has been dominating but if you compare all of his last opponents to Floyd in terms of speed, it will be a night & day fight. Cotto, Oscar, Hatton, Diaz, JMM, MAB, and so on? Its not even close. It may not hold alot of weight but I do think it could shock Pac some

                  yeah................PAC looks a little sloppy when he attacked.................the ungay/unduck/uncowardly floyd might frustrate him..........but PAC will always be greater than floyd achievement wise

                    I agree with the boxing stuff but I think the speed is a factor in every match. Pac has been killing these cats with his speed but he's never ever ever fought another speed guy
