Is Floyd Mayweather's hand speed overrated?

I think he is fast but more than anything he has very good timing. He mixes his jab, the speed of it, where it lands, if he loops it into a hook. Versatility people.

You fight ghost,ortiz,baldomirs, you will look fast too.
Not just hand speed , but foot speed to get you to the spots,
Floyd is fast , quick and has good timing, but fight slow , predictable , facebfirst defensive fighters , you woul look fast too.
Imagine floyd vs a slick boxer. A real one.

floyd at any weight below 147 had amazing hand speed and was throwing some of the best combinations you'll see.....since getting to 147 and with aging has become more of a sharp shooter and has definitely slowed some.

I don't think it's his hand speed, it's his timing. His superb timing just makes him look faster than he really is.

Agreed. Floyd has superior timing and that makes him look supernaturally fast
