    Who do you think has the faster handspeed?
    I think Taylor edges it by a bit , but I think it has more to do with him punching flashy shoeshiners while Russell's punches look like they hurt. But that's just me.

    Great to see an exciting prospect like Gary Russell Jr put on another great performance. He's definitely the next Meldrick Taylor with his fan-friendly style.

    I give the edge to Meldrick.
    Meldrick/Mosley as far as GOAT handspeed for me.
