    At 140-147lb. Taking into account hand and foot speed. Pacman or Mel Taylor?

    This is clearly such a well conceived, interesting poll that people are taking due time to consider their vote. :bears:

    Has this fight been made in Mythical match ups? Pretty interesting scrap!
     
  5. Pacman stops Taylor in 8 rounds max.
     
  6. Anyway, Taylor has the edge in handspeed, just.

    I think Pac's mobility makes him faster overall.
     
  8. Pac's footspeed is getting a little overrated, sorry to say. When I think great footspeed I think of a prime Ali, Leonard, Mayweather, Jones: the ability to bound around the ring and get in an out so quickly that you're hardly ever a standing target. I don't see pacquiao with that type of footspeed. Pac sidesteps quickly and does the odd dart in and out...but I don't see him as obviously faster than taylor in that regard.

    My view as well, for the record. Split a hair on handspeed in either direction, but Pacquiao was a little clearer in footspeed than any advantage Taylor may have held on the gloves.
