So how come Pac was able to get Better while Floyd declined?

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'.

Training: Pac was always fast but Ariza helped get him to where he needs to be. Did you see that short-clip from 24/7 with Pac doing his drills and runs?
All about building speed.

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.

His angles too: fighters have talked about his punches come in crazy angles. You may see one punch but there is another one you don't see coming from an awkward angle.

There was a picture I saw of Pac that had Pac landed the right-hook while the left was inches away from landing as well. Dude is throwing two punches at once very close. Short reach helps. I think it may also have to do with Pac not needed to **** back every punch for full power so he can throw punches in inches.

Joe Louis had two types of punches and power: The type that he used most, which was very short, accurate, fast, thrown inch power punches that would stun you and drop you. Then, the big power bomb when he ****ed back his arm and then let it explode. The inch punches stunned and drop people while the full leverage shots when he ****ed back his arm made fighters spin around and leap off their feet.

Pac knocking Hatton out cold would be an example of him putting everything into it compared to throwing in fast combos to stun, confuse, and beat up his opponents.
