    Yeah Pac can put punches together in quick succession like Mayweather can now only dream of.

    But That one punch speed is still right up there... That one's a close one.
    The foot work is close too... I think Pac is maybe a little bit more explosive off his toes. But Mayweather appears to have the the best balance (or maybe he just seems more balletic due to his style??).

    Speed ain't shit without reflexes though. Apart from Dirrell, ain't no one close to Money May.

    Agree with the consensus. Pac has ridiculously fast hands and is unmatched to anyone I`ve ever seen in the sport. Much faster then Floyd.

    But Mayweather has amazingly quick defensive instincts and countering ability that goes far beyond pac in that area.

    If this fight never gets made, I will not only be disappointed, but some time when I`m much older and starting to get senile I`m going to go find and kick a billy goat.

    I'm getting old - I completely misread that the first time.

    Who do you think would win a 100m sprint? I think this is what it all boils down to imo.

    Reflexes and truncal movement PBF. One punch per se PBF by a tad. Foot speed PAC.

    Well slap me around and call me Susan...
    But I think PBF is faster at 1 punch and putting them together.
    Foot work is Pac.

    I belive RJJ was faster than PBF & Pac.
    The only other fighter whom I feel was faster then RJJ was Meldrick Taylor.
    Of course you then have SRL somewhere along there.

    A chemically enhanced Pacquiao is faster than Floyd. He's Super Man than. A natural Pacquiao is not. He's becomes Bobby Pacquiao

    pacquiao Oh yeah he's the fastest thing on the planet.

    The boy makes the flash look slow

    Pacquiao is actually an immortal.

    The only reason why the BP oil spil stopped is because pac wanted it to.

    pac is so fast the US government is trying to persuade him to run around the earth so fast that he'll be able to go back in time and stop 9/11 and other such disasters.

    Pacquiao is a god. We should all fear his wrath and worship him.

    At times I'd like to kneecap Floyd but as far as fluidity,speed for speeds sake I'd say Mayweather.Footwork as well.

    Think big picture and complete package I'd say Manny.It may boil down to mentality and carrying a shot through it's target rather than moving off,resetting before full delivery if that makes sense.Manny asserts speed coming forward which explodes and sets down truer I believe...vicious little f'r.Floyd 'could' be a more potent puncher but that's not his mindset.....with fast feet it's assumed that means a slick boxer,mover & defensive but likwise one who shifts,stalks forward and sits downs fast....more often than not it's the punches landing receiving the attention rather than feet in that case.Roy was tops at both,shite Tapia had that ability too.I've gone off reservation

    I think guys like Berto, Gamboa, and Dirrell are all faster p4p than Pacquiao or Mayweather at this moment, but the reason these two are the most dynamic is simple.

    Manny throws harder combinations faster than anyone else p4p, he can be moving his feet along with throwing combinations which is extremely rare to see, it reminds me of Roy JOnes, but even Roy through hooks in similar situations to where Manny is throwing straight punches which is more difficult.

    Floyd is always in balance, and his one punch speed is as fast as anyone's. I just think he is more focused on accuracy and landing solidly than purily outspeed his opponents. Watch him against Marquez and Mosley, his hands are much faster against Mosley because he is a quicker opponent, and Floyd was backing him up. Against MArquez though he was just catching Marquez come in. I think Pacquiao also puts more on his punches which is why his punches would be thrown faster for hte most part, but again with the example of comparing PBF-Mosley to PBF-JMM, it is clear FLoyd was throwing harder against Mosley, and his punches were significantly faster because he was putting more force behind them. Also combinations build speed based on the momentum of the body, and Manny is an amazing combination puncher, whereas even when Floyd puts punches together each punch doesn't carry forward the same sort of momentum, and it almost seems as if Floyd thinks out each punch he throws even in combinations.

    All in all I think Manny clearly throws punches in bunches faster than Floyd because, Floyd doesn't really throw punches in bunches, but their handspeed for individual shots is roughly equal.

    I also don't believe Floyd's reflexes in terms of physical reflex is superior to Pac's who has shown the ability to counter his opponent impressively, but Floyd has better intuition in there, and because his whole style is geared towards timing moreso than Manny's so he has obviously fine tuned those skills to a greater extent. At the higher levels of boxing its more about experience and what you work on that dictates whether you get hit or not. It's very rare you get guys like Roy Jones jr, but even he had great intuition and you saw in his combinations and the fact he would know where an opponent would be open by the time his punch got there.

    I would say Floyd is faster Pac has fast hands but he throws a lot of flurries his single shots arent as quick as Floyds his footwork and speed of foot isn't as quick or as good as Floyds and his reflexes and defence are nothing compared to Floyds.
