Standing 5’9 ½” tall, Spence Jr. will enjoy advantages in height and reach. But can he stand against Pacquiao’s out-and-out pace and footwork? Here’s a look into who is faster- Manny Pacquiao or Errol Spence Jr.?

Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr.–The best vs the best

On looking at several training clips it is clear that Pacquaio is honing his fitness, cardio, and umpteen other factors apart from boxing drills. While ‘The Truth’ may also be doing the same, Pacquaio’s speed is still something that can cause him severe problems. It’s hard to believe that Pacquaio continues to boast similar strength and stamina from his prime.

The Filipino veteran looks comfortable hitting the pads. Well, it would rather be an understatement because Pacquiao seemed flawless with his activeness, speed, and power. Later, he displayed freestyle punching in ‘Flash-Mode’ in an open workout.

‘Pac-Man’ and ‘The Truth’

The WBC/IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. doesn’t appear bothered about Pacquiao’s prowess. The American champion is focussing on his own game plan to give himself a chance at countering ‘Pac-Man’. If we just compare the speeds of both the fighter, Pacquiao wins.

However, Errol Spence Jr’s technicality and power will give him an edge. The undefeated champion is a great counter puncher and has been thoroughly working on that. So, he can check Pacquiao’s speedy shots with one of his own.

That’s quite a familiar feature which he shares with ‘Pac-Man’. However, Errol Spence Jr. might take a lead in that race with some legitimate physical advantages. Nevertheless, speed will be a pivotal feature and Pacquiao will go toe-to-toe with Errol Spence Jr. under that parameter.
