Mind you, Hatton was taught to slip punches only after the Mayweather fight by Floyd Sr. Yet Hatton was able to react a bit to Floyd's punches in that fight.
This is why Floyd had to run from Hatton in that fight and lead him into punches. Manny had no such problem, and that's why he knocked him out so easily.
There's always a reason for a fighter to move back.... that's the real reason why Pacquiao was able to dispose of Hatton so early, he didn't need to move back all the time because it was a complete mismatch in speed to begin with.
To conclude, its pretty obvious that Pacquiao has more handspeed than Mayweather (not even talking about combinations), and either has more power or the speed creates it.
Real talk.

I rewatched the Mayweather/Hatton fight the other day. What was really starting to be obvious to me was that up until rds 8 and 9, Floyd was strictly using the lead right and duck strategy that BHOP uses. If he attempts to use that type of strategy in against Pac, he will get rocked. He ducked to the left after each lead which left him open to a right uppercut every time. Hatton did not capitalize on this but JMM will and if he does, Floyd will get legitimately dropped for the first time in his career.
Pac is faster that Floyd as Floyd uses timing to set people up and it makes him look a lot faster than he is (not to say that Floyd is slow because he is really fast). Pac has very good footwork and is more aggressive than Mayweather.

I do agree that speed or no, Mayweather has the ability to outbox most fighters, then again Pac has been known to beat the better boxer, should make for a great fight.Last edited by tjose385; 06-04-2009, 04:30 PM.

Speed won't decide a fight between the two
Whoever implements the right gameplan and adjusts accordingly will win the fight
Either way, it will be surprisingly exciting IMO
