"It's different [kinds of] speed. Mayweather is a guy who times you. He'll throw a fast shot and boom. Mayweather will not throw a combination. He's not that type of fighter. A three or four punch combination, he's not that type of fighter, Pacquiao is," said De La Hoya.

"He'll (Pacquiao) throw a four, five, six, seven punch combination and [throw it] fast. I would say, today, both guys might be the same. A few years ago, four or five years ago, I would have gone with Pacquiao. Both guys have slowed down a bit but both are still pretty quick. I would have to say they're even."
