    Didn't see much of Floyd's footspeed in his last fight against Mosley. He doesn't throw many punches to see his handspeed but he's accurate and times his shots very well.

    Pac is faster overall. Khan is pretty fast as well.

      I could be wrong, but I would expect Floyd to beat Pac to the punch if they faught. Khan and Berto could have better handspeed than Floyd.

          floyd's speed is quite the illusion. he's fast dont get me wrong. but he looks faster than he really is in most fights. thats because once he times u and figures out your patters, he's able to anticipate what you do so he acts be4 u do, giving the illusion of him being faster. he's been able to do this against almost every fighter he's fought recently. its incredible.

            This. I would also like to add speed in terms of 'upper body movement' like Larry mentioned:

            Mayweather-Pacquiao-Khan

              floyd is more timing than speed, he aint that fast, if he was he would have blinding combo's, which he dont, he's above average speed, but pacquiao and khan are probabley faster in terms of hand and foot, may is reflex and anticipation

              andre dirrell is faster too, at everything

                Floyd has the quickest one-punch hands out there, but Pacquiao is overall faster, I think. Insane combinations, the fastest feet I've ever seen, good head movement and reflexes...yeah, it's him. Amir Khan is probably the fastest combination puncher in the world, though.

                    Dawson is fucking fast in terms of both single-shot and combos. Watch the first Tarver fight to see that speed.

                      I don't think Pacquiao ever had good reflexes, i think Roach has helped him improved though..
