Footspeed and handspeed would be the same if they are fighting at 154. Have you noticed Pac's last 4 opponents have all been left hand dominant ortho stance fighters with slow feet, with the exception of Hatton, who has quick feet. It's no coincidence Hatton was able to land on Pac early and have success, it's just the other flaws that got him KO'd, he had early success because of the footspeed. Pac struggled against JMM, because JMM stepped back when Pac attacked then worked his offense. The others were sitting ducks for the speed because they lack quick foot movement.
Martinez is a southpaw (therefore no SP advantage for Manny), he has excellent stamina, footspeed and handspeed and is a counterpuncher who can fight backing up and moving forward. His performance against Williams (a very tall pressure fighter, who beat Margarito at his own game) proves Maravilla can currently handle a pressure fighter who throws alot. Let's not forget pressure from a big man is diff to pressure from a small man. Martinez has the advantage in size and reach. He also throws every punch effectively including the right hook upstairs and down.
Pac would go in underdog against Martinez at 154.......
