    Speed does kill, but to be successful you need to be fast in all areas, foot speed, hand speed, reflexes, head movement, etc. In addition, you would also need to have enough power to make that speed dangerous. Speed is negligible if you don't have the snap on you punches to hurt your opponent.
    and your saying Pac don't have it???????

      speed kills

      yes speed certainly kills,specially when mass is behind it...Tyson for example was only 15/16 years old in that vid and only about 200 pounds...he slowed a bit at 218 but the speed and mass was so devastinly powerful imop he was the best puncher in history.his style did not work on power shots ,his was amore combinations but when he planted and settled down on one ,no doubt they were stronger than Foremans.

            “Speed is the absolute essence of any form of combat” – Jeff Cooper You see it in any and every athletic endeavor – speed is power. It isn’t always the biggest golfer who hits the ball 300 yards, and baseball pitchers that throw 95 miles per hour aren’t necessarily muscle-bound guys. A golfer who strikes the ball well...

              Paulie Malignaggi is a prime example that speed alone is not power.

                If Manny throws in the fight the same ways he throws in shadow boxing he's not gonna last 5 rounds.
                First of all the punches are too short so he's gonna have to get very close to Mayweather to land them which will result in him getting countered all night, also if he keeps on throwing with this speed he's gonna gas out and won't have anything left for the latr going, this is when Floyd is still very dangerous.

                Yeah it looks flashy, but I think he's practicing foot work and also using this as a conditioning excercise, has nothing to do with what he does in his fights.
