Thread: Where is this secret footage that shows Floyd being faster then Manny?

I hear this all the time usually from posters who ask questions like Where can I sign up to wipe Floyds ass...I don't see it...Especially right now at this point in their careers...Yes Floyd is fast but not Pacquiao fast....Shit opponents they have in common don't think Floyd is as fast....





Now looking at both videos I do not see whare Floyds speed is greater then Manny's....The only thing Faster when matched up is the fact the common opponents fall quicker for Manny then Floyd

i'm no Floyd nutthugger but IMO Floyd does have overall better speed (hands, reflexes, feet), Manny still gets tagged...plenty, hell Clottey who did jack shit still managed to mark him up plenty, aside from the couple of shots that Mosley landed in round two who has landed on Mayweather as easily as Pacquiao gets hit, and yet Mayweather still manages to land around 5 CLEAN shots to one on guys like Mosley

I think Floyd's main strength regarding his punching is his accuracy and timing. He's ridiculously fast, but his accuracy and knowing what punch to throw when is what makes him such an excellent puncher. IMO at least.

Yeah Pacquiao is faster for sure...but he doesn't have the boxing brain of Floyd..it's improved but still nowhere near that level.

Timing beats speed..ask Vernon Forrest (RIP)

Mayweather is faster. That's obvious. His speed is amazing. Pacquiao is fast. But he's been made to look even faster than he really is cuz of all the slow fighters he's been facing. Clottey. Hatton. Old De La Hoya. Compared to them Pacquiao seems to be operating at warp speed. Mayweather speed was proven when he faced another fast fighter in Mosley.

and they say Floyd cherry picks...

no doubt that mayweather jr. has faster hands than pacquiao. not only that, he's got better ring intelligence, reflexes and defense. pacquiao's boxing ability has improved but he still gets tagged way too many times to be anywhere as intelligent as mayweather jr..

I think Floyd has a faster left jab and a quicker one punch from the hip. The other thing that helps Floyd is his amazing body control. Pacquiao has a faster combination punch than Floyd. His combination punches come from different angles and have surprising accuracy. Their foot work is comparable as far as speed is concerned.

So each fighter has his own speed advantage. There is only way to resolve the opinions.

Both fighters are accurate. But Floyd averages only 37 punches per round, and throws them conventionally. Manny averages 96 punches per round, and throws them in so many weird angles. If you'd do the math, I think the numbers will speak for it self.

...heck, Manny even has the ability to dart in and land both right hook and left hook at the same time and dart out quickly to avoid counter. Lol!

I agree with the over all speed part because Floyd has better over all movement and in ring control but IMO just going on hand speed Manny is faster...

Opinions are opionions and like fan johnny says there is only one way to prove it

Floyd is fast in pot shot jab and its really accurate.

Manny is really fast in flurry / combination.

Floyd is faster in single shots. Manny's faster in combos. At least that's how it looks when I watch them fight in slow motion.

In my opinion Floyd is faster.

I am no floyd fan either, I like Manny better as a fighter because he is willing to fight anyone, has a more exciting style and isnt afraid to lose. I think Floyd should have fought Hatton at 140 when Floyd was moving up, Cotto and Margs when they were both at the top of their game. Hopefully this proves I am no Floyd hugger.

BUT I think Manny leaves himself open and is troubled by a fast slick counter puncher ala JMM. And there is no one slicker and faster than the Money Man. Also Floyd is careful and patient.

As the old saying goes styles make fights and Manny is made for Floyd's style. I will be hoping Manny pulls out the win but see a pretty one sided beatdown by Floyd.

Actually, I would tend to agree with that affirmation. NOw as to who's better... let's pit them and see
