    Roy Jones Jr was faster than Leonard. He did the same sorts of combos as Leonard only he would throw twice as many punches and with power.

    lol wut? leonard arguably has the fastest hands in the history of boxing.

    lol watch him whip mayweather sr.'s ass. . . his speed is on full display there. . .

    I mean Mosley has/had fast hands, especially at 135, but if the difference is still night and day between their speed.

    :deal I think SRL would shoeshine like Taylor and sometimes mix it with a single shot with power ala Mosley. Nice right hand leads on occasion like Floyd.

    Mosley was slightly quicker imo. Leonard had better combos
    and had blinding speed. Plus Leonard would throw in the bolo
    punch. A true showman, so is Shane of course. Prime for
    prime SRL split decision

    Leonard was faster and he hit harder and he is bigger than Shane that's saying a lot.

    Ray was lying.Must have been the coke.
    Ray said the punch in the post above was the best he ever threw.
    Don't think he was lying.

    I like Shane, but nothing about his boxing game lends itself to the name Sugar...
