Fight Credential
Speed
It's a rare day when Mayweather isn't the unanimous winner in speed thanks to his slickness and the fast-twitch muscle fibers that go into making him such a scintillating counter puncher. But Mayweather has slowed his output in recent years, more often throwing one punch at a time. While still fast, he relies on timing and accuracy just as much as speed. Pacquiao, meanwhile, has retained his elite hand speed at age 36 and edges Mayweather thanks to how quickly he can close distance with his feet.
Advantage: Pacquiao
