    Sorry, don't know why I wrote "lost." My wife kept talking to me from the kitchen about her friends' lives as I was trying to follow the conversation. I just mean Donaire looked lousy in that fight, abandoning his jab throughout. Don't get me wrong, I used to really like Donaire so I'm being extra hard on him right now.

    Caballero was overrated from the start. A tall fighter who couldn't punch straight.

    The only one who really saw his great potential was ESB's nostradamus Pacdbest. Pacd was amazingly predicted Both Pac & Donaire's path for greatness.

    I think Floyd is the fastest. "The fastest runner of all time"

    Khan is a good bit faster.

    I think Pac is the fastest and also throws far more damaging punches than the likes of Khan. Mayweather arguably has the fastest single punch, but its hard to gauge that - because he gets himself in a far better position than others to get that punch off. I dont think Donaire is the fastest, but he has claims and will continue to do so if he improves on what he has atm.

    Now that Calzaghe has retired I would say he's up there with Gamboa.
