Has Manny Pacquiao ever fought anyone with fast handspeed?

[MR.CHICANITO]

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.

barrera was nowhere near his prime when he fought and got whopped by the pacman in 2003 i mean marco antonio barerra has been fighting since he was like 15 years old so he was far from in his prime when the pacman got his big win against a slower barerra

dumbest thing I have ever heard on NSB....smh

Barrera was on one of the greatest runs in the history of the FW division. He had just beaten Hamed, Morales, Tapia, Sanchez and others and looked like an absolute beast in doing so.

This^^^^^

asking if Manny has faced fast fighters is very ignorant considering that those guys at 106-118 are some of the fastest fighters in the sport.

I don't people should ask the question of fast fighters. I think the question should be, has he faced complete fighters, with a combination of everything.

Zab speed in the ww or jww are look very fast compared to the other ww because most of boxer that weight are slow fighter but for real zab speed is just average when you compared it to the boxer in the lower weight division.

I forgot who said it but it was apt. They said "Mosley is fast, but when you meet someone who is as fast or faster than you it's a shock." Pac will go through sticker shock when he sees how fast Floyd is. If he can't adjust to it he will be out before the 6th.

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?

I think he is faster than all of his opponent. There was a poster here a few weeks back who finally saw pac handspeed in person. He was shocked and opined videos don't do justice to his actual handspeed. Barrera has good handspeed. Plus Jmm is no slouch in the lower weights. I think most of the guys in the lower weights have greater handspeed than at the upper weight. We'll see who has the upper hand on this when they actually fight.

As for your question, I doubt he would panic. It's evident in the Morales fight that even when he is down on the cards, he would still fight. I think its more of a matter that Roach better make good adjustments midfight so he can relay to Pac. Otherwise, Floyd got this.

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.

yeah u read everyone's mind

Ok explain to me why not? I mean something has to make you think they were slower?

It's something called sight,common sense, and basic boxing knowledge.
