    When you think he is gonna fight he boxes, when you think he is gonna box he fights. The man is a formless fighting machine.

    Pretty Boy Floyd looks fast as hell.

    Who is the quickest fighter he has fought?

    Zab?

    Beautiful work. He is the master of controlling a fight to his rythym.

    IMO Zab was the best natural athlete that PBF faced in his career to date

    Not sure I agree with that. Jabbing to the body holds more risks IMO...leaves the boxer in a vulnerable position, and can be countered.

    Similar risks with the jab to the head, can be countered, etc...but at least you are more in control of balance and body position.

    A clear lesson for those brawlers who underestimate the power of the jab.

    Those jabs to the stomach are so fast and powerful, they actually cause his opponents to take a step back giving PBF the right distance to follow up with a straight right.

    No wonder Pac-fans hate Mayweather. This boxing is Beautiful.

    Yeah, Lennox Lewis vs. Razor Ruddock comes to mind.

    You cant do this vs a guy with terrific speed or if your not fast yourself, you would get a right hook or a straight right in the face. Floyd has great reflexes thats why he can do it. Its a great way to set up punches or stop movement I think.

    Interesting.

    So, fastest hands goes to the man with the very arguable KD.

    And the split-decision goes to the best boxer.

    Was there anything significant that Hatton did? The fight was a while back...
