    Interesting thing about Floyd vs Manny.

    This is a fight, in which the outcome could go many different ways. I could see Pacquiao straight up outfighting Floyd, and using his speed advantage (yes mayweather would be the slower of the two) to negate the shoulder roll, and firing from so many angles that Floyd could seem lost. I could Also see mayweather clearly outbox Pacquiao and frustrate him. Another possibility is that both make adjustments throughout the fight, and we see each employ a variety of styles throughout the fight.

    There so many things to factor, reason I say that Mayweather could finally get his 1st lose in this bout.

      Agreed, this is why the fight is so interesting. Both would constantly be adjusting to each other.


      But I do believe they are pretty much equals in handspeed.

        I see Mayweather's counter-punching being the key in this fight, rather than speed.

          I agree, except for the handspeed. manny's hands are quite a bit faster than mayweathers.

                he throws fast combinations but Floyd's right hand lead is faster than Pacquiao's left if u ask me

                Pacman probably the harder puncher though

                it's Pac's vigorous attacking style vs mayweathers pure boxing skills could be a classic we may need a trilogy for this

                  i dont think we've seen floyd go full speed in a long time..but manny is a speed demon..but speed doesnt beat floyd..it takes alot of intengebales//this fight will feature 2 fighters people see as vurtually unbeatable

                    He would not have a speed advantage at all. His timing is better, but his speed is not.
