    Both guys in my eyes are still the two fastest guys out there, but, I don't think their speed are quite the same as maybe a few years back.

    I don't think it's Floyd's reflexes that's gonna bite him in the @ss if PAC connects on him. PAC's angles are just crazy, man. I've personally witnessed it in person. If it looks nuts on t.v. it's even mind-boggling what PAC does watching him from 5 feet away.

    PAC's wildness is like a double-edge sword.
    Yeah, have to watch some more tapes of Pac.


    Pro Athletes are like that. It's one thing to see it on TV, another to see it in person from the stands and then an even bigger shock when you see it up close.

    I describe it like this: Ever watch a baseball game?
    You can see the pitches on TV all the way through.
    Now, take yourself and stand up to the plate against live, Pro pitching, and it will blow your mind.

    It's the same with the NFL: everybody that has seen it from the side-lines says the game is incredibly fast.

Catch mayweather saying that wont happen. You need that fake ego fpr motivation, sure u can have other things, but thats wat counts the most, and will cause one to try and jmprove like mayweather is.

        OK. No worries. I thought he might have said he's gonna weigh exactly 154 and I'd missed it. To me he looked more like 160 against Marquez.

          Yes, and not taking that away from Floyd. Agree: one of the smartest boxers of all time. And he understands how to adapt and time an opponent.

          Even when Kostya Tszyu, a fighter that seemed to decline somewhat in attributes over the years...partly due to inactivity...still had his timing to KO speed like Judah...although it also took him more rounds to warm up in later years compared to his early days (even if the KO of Judah was early).

            pac has one of the best ring IQs at the moment. nobody expected him to do a rope-a-dope on cotto to lull him into a slugfest and open up the puerto rican's defense.

            if you equate ring IQ with being on a bike all night long, be my guest.

              But what about the fighters he fights as he moves up that talk abut his blazing speed?
              What about Roach?

              Pac puts his time in to improve and keep it up...he stays active.
              Actually, David Diaz and Rashad said its not Pacquiao's hand speed it's his foot speed they are most impressed with...they had interviews recently.

                Jesus. That was painful to read.

                I give up. If you cannot see the improvement in ring IQ, there's no hope for you Jiddu!

                I agree with Harold Lederman, actually. Pacquiao has tremendous ring IQ these days.


                I'm gonna tell some of you guys off now. Why can't you just type properly. Use line breaks and paragraphs. Get rid of the ****** unreadable fonts and Horus-style center aligning. Let's have a normal conversation for once. Christ. It's like if you were talking to someone and they kept putting flangers, echoes, and phasers and wah-wah on their voice. You'd be like "WTF!!? Stop!"

                  Both Pacquiao and Mayweather train differently for speed. Mayweather is ALL about certain kinds of movements. It's mostly upperbody for the purposes of countering with right straight and jabs. Pacquiao on the other hand is just to throw punches while using his feet to get him into position. The Pacquiao-Cotto fight showed that CLEARLY. Pacquiao barely uses his upperbody other than for head movement. He hardly dips like Whitaker--he uses mostly his feet to get him out of harms way.

                    Pacquiao's entire body at times is just a blur. While it's possible his hand speed may have dropped very slightly, everything else is just ridiculous. It's like somebody fast-forwarding a video.

                      Exactly man, that's exactly what I witnessed at WCG when I saw PAC up close. I knew the hands were fast, well, what blew my mind was he was even faster. And then, I looked at his feet, that's when I just thought to myself, un****in'real, the guy is a f**kin' whirlwind.

                      When watching PAC move around the ring, he looks like a video game character from Tekken or somethin'.
