agreed. against faster opponents pac still throws 4-5 punches even if he only connects 1 out of those 4-5, as compare to floyd who sits back and waits and then throw 1 which usually always land, making it look like floyd is faster when in reality timing is the key.
Who throws the quicker lead punch, Pacquiao's Left or Mayweather's Right?

Manny's seems a little faster, but way easier to read, so if we are talking about pure speed, Manny. Floys is not really noticable slower, and the fact that he has better timing, and trickier angles makes his more effective and dangerous. Even though Manny has a slight speed advantage it's not enough to outweigh Floyd's straight right.Comment

This is pretty much exactly what I would say. Although I would flip it over and have Manny as the marginally faster one.hard to say, i think floyds may be a bit faster but its marginal. the real difference is in power, timing and accuracy. power obviously being on the side of pacquiao while timing and accuracy is in floyds favor. floyd is smarter too, has a better understanding of how to set it up and when to throw it.
But yeah, Manny is purely speed while Floyd has a quickness to him that is more based off of timing and being incredibly accurate. It is hard to say though, and I agree with you, just flipped over!Comment

Pacquiao got a quicker left, it's a shorter punch too.
Mayweather is just a smarter fighter with more reach as well thats why he's better.
Pacquiao has world class offense, Mayweather is world class at a lot of things just not really offense.Comment
