    ridiculous hand speed. Taylor was being compared to leaonard back in the day, is it stupid to compare russell to taylor?

    It's not absurd. Melrdick is still faster though, but comparable

    Comparable in terms of hand speed.

    Taylor generally was more aggressive than GRJ, at least from what I've seen of Russell. He is actually slicker than Meldrick, though not necessarily as talented or as powerful.
