    disgraceful fight why link that like it's something to be proud of lol?...almost as bad as the Salka farce.

    Won't rematch or even consider Matthysse or Herrera but will rematch an old fat Morales...even were talks of a Judah rematch :patsch

    Obvious example of danny garcias decent timing is the Khan fight.

    He did as someone else mentioned throw with him and didn hit his target really, it is goo though not sure about top 5 it's kind of difficult to gauge exactly without taking in other traits . For me morales was the best I seen because it was all he Nearley had left an he could still the elite a fight by timing alone

    Fighters that typically didn't rely on speed all the time, like Tszyu, Jmm, Morales, Duran, or Monzon, had great timing. Maidana has some good timing as well, not great, but effective.

    I think Khan too has good timing.

    He was timing Collazo very well in that fight.

    What was perhaps more remarkable is that Garcia was looking at Khan's feet when he threw the first KD punch..

    To be honest, if you have decent-good timing you should beat khan.
    Khan tends now to pick southpaws aswell.

    Good thread and thoughtful responses.

    Current and recent fighters only:
    Rigo (fights out of the pocket masterfully)
    Roidquez (favors punching with opponents, it takes courage and he hits w/ power)
    Floyd ( always keeps his eyes open during the onslaught - see's everything and counters)
    Kell Brook (only saw him fight Porter but had a very good feel and punches with accuracy)

    ** ***y Sergio in his peak was very, very, very dangerous.

    Brook hardly showed any kind of impressive timing against porter

    The way porter fought it feels unimpressive. I'm keeping an eye on him..way too premature putting on the list, i guess i included him for his potential.

    Sergio should definitely be in the fifth slot..but morales and barrera aren't far off. They just didn't commit to that skill set. They were coming to kill.

    Thats what won him the fight jim. Hes timing with the counter punches.

    Hes accuracy plus timing was really good, and that wasn't even a kell brook that is out of 3rd gear aswell
