    Pacquiao doesn't have reflexes, he just go with the motions of his defense... move to the side, in and out, feint or move ur head, roll to the right, and keep ur hands up at all times... its basic, but it works for him.... he sure has the ability to take flush punches though, its his calves that hold his chin up.... and if Pac did have reflexes he'd keep his hands low, sticking his chin out...

        Speed is irrevelant until you face someone who is faster and has a better work rate than you have. Calzage was faster than Hopkins but it was hard to lay a glove on him because of Bernards style and skills. Thats the difference between being a roy jones and being a Floyd mayweather, because you cant be fast forever, so when you lose your speed, 1) did you work on your jab and feints to keep the faster younger guys off of you, 2) did you work on timing and distance and is your stamina still a major tool in your book of tricks because if not you will lose. I hope Floyd only fights one more time and walks away from the sport because if not he will end up like Pernell Whitaker and Roy Jones fighting younger, hungry guys who have nothing to lose and everything to gain putting your name on there resume. I think alot of guys may be faster than floyd but who is the most accurate guy in boxing and who is the hardest to put leather on. Answer FLOYD MAYWEATHER.

            Mayweather has that elite world class speed still.

            The likes of Gamboa, Khan, JUdah have speed, but it means nothing if you don't have the whole package.

            Mayweather and Pac only ones that use it well with their supreme athletic ability.

            2 of the hardest workers in the game

              He does have reflexes, but his style gets him into trouble.

              For example the Mayweather that came forward to Moselt got hit flush.

              I 100% feel if he was moving, Mosely would get tired because his legs were done.

                  Judah, Khan and maybe Berto have faster handspeed. Pac and Floyd are about even, but Pac has faster combinations and Floyd has better timing/accuracy.

                  But everyone knows Marcos Maidana is the fastest of them all lol
