    is andre Berto equivelant if not quicker then Pac?

    looked quite fast in his last fight, i would say hes probably even quicker then khan. His speed is definatley good and he can put nice combinations together... thoughts?

    I think realistically they are pretty close...

    I always thought Bertos explosiveness was even more impressive than his overall speed..

    Combination punching goes to PAC in a big way though..

    Berto is a 2-3 type combination puncher, but PAC seems to consistently throw anywhere from 3-6 punches in quick succession..

    I think this fight would be more competitive than a lot of people making it out to be.

    you would have to favor Pacquiao though, of course.

      You are joking? Pac and khan are in a different league speed-wise.

          Berto has the fastest hand speed I've seen yet. Every other advantage goes to Pac, which includes: Footwork, combo punching, accuracy, and endurance.

                means he's never seen Mel Taylor, Macho Sr, 160 or 168 RJJ

                  Berto gives the illusion he is really fast with sudden flurries also fighting alot of slow fighters doesnt hurt..is he fast sure but what good is being as fast as an A class fighter who is not only fast but is better than you at everything else not to mention Bertos chin is questionable. Dropped by Quintana and Rivera a slow fighter.

                    I mean today.

                    edit: To further clarify, I mean in this given time in the world of professional boxing. To say that he has the fastest hand speed ever would be ridiculous.
