Fight Credential

Speed

Even at 37, Mayweather's hand speed remains elite and he has yet to show any legitimate sign of decline. And although the jury is still out regarding the degree to which his legs have slowed, Mayweather's ability to land clean counter shots while sidestepping danger is still without comparison. Because of how he treats his body year-round, Mayweather's reflexes haven't slowed, and he relied on every ounce of his speed advantage to adjust in the face of Maidana's pressure in their first bout.


Advantage: Mayweather
