    You dip, we are talking about speed. Have you seen comacho fight. Meldrick Taylor was fast but not as fast or no where near as quick as Floyd. You are talking about one aspect of fast. I am talking about movement and punch velocity. And Mosley is a good COUNTER puncher he dont get his KO's from raw power. He gets it with shots the other guy does not see coming. He couldnt dent Winky. I never said Floyd has more power than Winky. Backwards people I tell ya

    According to Jones and confirmed by HBO, at the time of that interview, HBO had been turned down by Benn, Collins, and Liles. Jones always claimed he made offers and they were turned down. HBO I guess got tired of hearing that, and Jones told them to make a fight with whomever. But then HBO started getting turned down.

    So Jones wanted big fights, but according to that interview, and someone posted it here a month ago, even HBO couldn't get people to fight him. Benn turned down a career high payday.

    Meldrick Taylor was faster than Floyd...are you blind? His handspeed was perhaps the best in history. Mosley was a natural lightweight who KO'd lightweights left and right. What was Floyd's KO percentage at lightweight? Mosley throws some arm punches, mainly a pawing jab, but he had a lot of snap on his punches.

    Mosley dont move around the ring that much, he likes to stand and trade. He always stands and trades. Mosley is very very physically strong for his size. He is not in and out like a speed fighter.:bbb :deal

    LOL, nice try. Taylor had faster hands. Period. And Mosley simply has power. And not from counter punching....he often pressed fights. Mosley couldn't KO a guy at 154? Wow....he started at 135. Can you name the guys PBF stopped at that weight? Or at 147?

    Okay, handspeed-wise Mosley and Taylor were faster that Floyd, but footspeed and movement, Floyd is superior - is that what you are trying to say?

    Wait...make up your mind. He is either a stand and trade fighter or a counter puncher. :deal

    Mosley has not been a lightweight for about 6 years plus. I think you can say he is not a natural lightweight anymore. You know, and his KO ratio and power did not come up with him. He can crack and he can COUNTER. Mosley gets those sneaky big counter punches in to get his KO's that is no Diss to mosley. I am just saying he is not a raw power puncher period.

    If you are standing and trading, it isn't very sneaky now is it.

    Not being a power puncher and throwing "arm punches" are entirely different now aren't they?

    You can be both. Mosley has his own style he trades but catches guys with shots they do not see b/c of his hand speed on the inside. Oh and of course his combinations which are good. He is not a raw power puncher at all. He was a BIG STRONG lightweight with hand speed, of course he is going to knock everybody out. But who did he knock out at 147(please do not say vargas) And floyd started out 3 years as superfeather..lol so two weights up for him 140 and floyd stopped everybody he fought at 140 but Corley and knocked him down like 3 times. Go fish again

    I dont know too much about it, but I have my suspicions. . . I'ts like when FMJ said he wanted to fight Hatton then ended up fighting Bruseles. . . . He said he went down the list of best possible fighters but he's full of shiit. He couldnt get the big money fight with Hattn and went straight downt to number 15 with Bruseles. RJJ did this kinda crap alot.

    But all in all FMJ is a bigger dissapointment than RJJ was.

    If you have fast hands. Yes it is.lol you can sneak uppercuts and hooks while the other guys is still winding up to throw his power shot. If you watched mosley ever you would see that is where he got most of his KO's
