    Has Manny Pacquiao ever fought anyone with fast handspeed?

    This is not a flame thread or trying to discredit Pacman. I was looking back at some Pacqauio fights and noticed every fighter he fought was known as either a slow powerful guy or a brawler...with no handspeed, or at least not enough handspeed to have people talking about it.

    I wonder since Mayweather has fought Corley, Judah, and Mosley who all three have really good handspeed especially Judah and Mosley; how will Pacquiao react to finally meeting a fighter that can match/even his handspeed? Will he panic mentally and will it psyche him like damn I never thought someone can be as fast or faster than me, what do I do now?

    Mayweather's boxing skills are going to confuse Manny. Trust me on that one.

      Not the kind of hand speed Floyd possesses. Floyd has only fought that kind of hand speed one time. That was against Zab Judah, and we all saw Zab beating Floyd to the punch early. Floyd had a ****y smirk on his face, but the simple truth of the matter is Floyd had NO idea where those punches were coming from, and he was getting his ASS KICKED by Zab early.

        Prolly coz' Pac make his opponents look somewhat slow, just like Floyd. I don't know. JMM is a pretty fast counterpuncher for me.

        Which Pac fights did you watch?

          When has Floyd fought anyone with great handspeed himself? Other than a 39 year old mosley. And before you say Judah how much hand speed does one have when they lose to a plodding journeymen named Baldomir.

              No because boxers with fast hand speed are scare of him. They tend to duck Manny for some reason.

                Few things can prepare you for very fast hands like Floyd or Mannys. Few people have as fast let alone faster hands than either fighter, Judah and maybe Mosley in his prime had faster hands at WW in this era.

                Manny has fought guys with fast hands though, Marquez and Cotto have decent speed, but remember he fought as low as 106, those guys will probably be faster than 90% of WW's because they carry alot less weight.

                  Let's be real about this the title of this thread should be "when has Pac fought a slick African American boxer" because in the lower weight classes the truth is everyone has handspeed.

                    Wat do you mean before we say Judah?

                    He was one of the fastest fighters boxing has seen.
