    AA has better hand speed.

    Mosley is a one shot at a time kind of huy for the most part.

    except for Roy Jones Jr, whose tapes was played on HBO faster just to increase fear in his opponents, that didn't work for Tarver who was on crack all the time between the fight and his brain was slowed down so he didn't noticed.

    Really? Mosley's last fight he wasnt a one punch guy.

    AA is in his prime BTW -- MOSLEY in his prime is faster and throw LOADS of combinations. His offense then was his defense.

    Pavlik's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

    I'm reasonably certain he would be game enough for the fight.

    But his handlers and promoter are a little more savy, and have never wanted to lose their $$$ prospect.

    They misjudged badly against Bernard.

    Williams is about as winnable as they could find, and still have any shred of credibility.


    More Rubios just wouldn't cut it.


    And PW is a 50-50.

    If he doesn't pull that one out, he's history.
