    No, he's fought people that aren't slow. But noone with any great speed.

    sasakul, ledwaba, cotto, mosley, bradley. Never fought a judah type speed but then again, not many out thee with that speed.

    Take Mosely off of that ****ing list.

    All of those people have handspeed that's above average (prime mosely is a diff story) but I wouldn't neccesarily call them very quick though

    I think Cotto is probably the fastest fighter he's fought, that says a lot

    As you say though, there are only a few people who are THAT fast, and Emmanuel is one of them

    lebwada was fast. Morales was fast, Hatton had very quick feet and fought at a fast tempo.
    Mosley still had fast hands.

    No, I have watched that fight a hundred times, and this is what was said

    Lampley: I was interviewing Cotto and asked him if he conceeded an edge in speed to Pacquiao, he said, 'I concede nothing, I am just as fast as Manny'

    Watch it 101 times then. Lampley said it. End of first round.

    Bradley is fast. He just doesn't have explosive power.

    Negative cotto is not fast. And i don't listen to Jim the overexaggerator.

    I don't know who the fastest Pac opponent was, but I think Marquez's handspeed is seriously underrated.

    I'm not saying he's super quick or anything, but sometimes he strings together very fast combinations. I see people commenting on his timing, counterpunching ability, footwork, etc, but I rarely see anyone commenting on his handspeed. I think he's fairly quick, or at least he was back in the day.
