    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.

    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!

    Pay attention to the question.

    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.

    Well one thing is for sure. You (Elterrible) are certainly not a Pacquiao nuthugger with that hideous signature. When are you going to drop that lame thing anyway? I don't think ANYONE has come with a single solitary shred of evidence that Pacquiao is on 'roids.

    Pac is faster than Floyd now, and that's what counts. Floyd has heavier hands, which looks to be keeping his opposition honest these days, and I'd give him the accuracy too except (whah whah.....) he only throws 30 punches a round.

    I am still hoping this fight doesn't happen. It's not an exciting fight at all. Only intriguing because of the matchup. I would rather have pac fight Meldrick Taylor, JCC, TBradley, Maidana, hell Cotto again would be awesome, even Berto.

    But Watching Floyd fight? I have NEVER gone BACK to watch a Mayweather fight. They are painstakingly boring, and I can pretty much remember all 200 punches he throws in a 12rnd fight. Congrats to him for outclassing his opponents, and he's a great boxer. I just wish he belonged to another generation so I could admire him as a great fighter of yore, and not have to tell fringe boxing fans not to get too excited about his fights. He's the greatest boxer, but NOT the greatest fighter. And the storyline is the same... Mayweather is the biggest jackass ever, and everybody pays to hope the jackass gets his block knocked off.
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    yea i'm sure you would rather have Pacquiao beat retired guys like Chavez and Taylor, or guys who won't beat the shit out of him, cause that's what Mayweather will do

    and so what if he only throws 30 punches a round, with how bad Manny misses and how sharp Mayweather's defense and reflexes are, every shot within those 30 punches thrown by Floyd will be more effective than ANYTHING Pacquiao does, Manny still misses alot, and still gets hit alot, so his punch output wont help him one bit

    I think Manny has the faster hands and can also throw them in combinations. Floyd only throws one at a time, at the most we will see 3 punches. Pac has a solid chin and I see no way that Floyd can deal with what Manny offers. Manny has everything Hatton had times 10. I think he is now the all round package and that Floyd will be overwhelmed. The second round of the Mosley fight also tells me that Floyds chin isn't all that sharp if you can rattle it often enough. Floyd isn't stopping anyone and he isn't going to outwork Manny. Floyd is 33, pushing 34, just back off a long lay off and hasn't beaten anyone in their prime or in their weight class in a long time.

    Manny is too hot for him now.
