    Some got speed , some got power, then came SRR and change it all...

    It seems that it is a forgoten trade anymore, boxers that have both....

    Who would you put on that category, and please don;t mention PBF, since he has speed, but limite d power, most of his KO were by accumulation...

    the only I can think of is SSM, and his speed has dwindell a bit....

    Pacquiao is the obvious choice.

    Mosley, Pacman is pretty good at both (a little more power though..), i'd even say Wladimir and Jermain Taylor.. Of course they dont compare to SRR very well but they got a decent combination of power/speed..

    Wladamir Klitscho has a very good speed to power ratio IMO.

    Well:

    Pacquiao has speed and definitevely has power, but when you think of Paquiao you think power first...


    RJJ-at one time on his career he would have been a member of this club, but at this period on is career, the speed is just not there, in fact the reason he got KO by Tarver and Glencofe, IMO, was simply the fact that in many occasion on his youth he was able to use his speed to prevent flush shots coming out of inside fighting, whith Tarver, his speed failed him and he got caught with a nasty left hook and with Glencofe, he was evading the jab and got caught ba a perfect 1-2...so no he is not at that level therefore can be on this list....

    Israel Vazquez would be a candidate...

    pacman is the obvious choice. prime tyson was a beast in these terms too. zab at 140 had a very good punch and lightning speed.

    I think that happens often. People think of Pacquiao's power first, but he is one of the faster guys out there. I would think faster than Vazquez. His speed is very good, though some here think he is in the Meldrick Taylor league, and I think they have been hitting the sauce.

    With Prime Jones, I of course think he IS the best combo of speed and power, but no where near it now. Everyone remembers his speed and forget his power. Judah once was.

    Wlad Klitscho is very fast for a heavyweight. Mosley was also INSANE at LW. But his power dropped a bit at WW.
