    36*

    He was fast, but I don't think he was truly the elite speed that Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Khan have themselves placed in.

    I hate this age thing. It's so presumptuious. Yes, comparing a 36 year old ATG with more skills and athletic gifts at his age now than what a 25 year old ever had given to him.

    I'm speaking overall speed, looking at the whole picture. Combinations, quickness, single shots, speed w/ power, etc. Heck, if we are ONLY talking about single punch speed, I'll give Mayweather that advantage today!

    yeah, i have been watching their older fights too, the roger mayweather incident was entertaining, Judah acted like a thug too.

    did you see that right hook and left straight hand Judah connected with? that was darn fast. Pacquiao is my favorite fighter but Judah was fast, just not as versatile as Pac and not with Pac's ability to unleash punch combinations. Did you also notice how Judah was a shell of himself in latter rounds? was it a lack of stamina or discouragement? I don't see Pacquiao losing steam like that..

    as far as Marquez, we've beat that drum before. JMM definitely timed Pacquiao but he took risks, how many times did Pacquiao hit him too? You honestly see floyd trading like that? For sure Floyd will time him too but at what expense? Floyd is very conservative and cautious whilst JMM is a true Mexican warrior..

    I think it was a mixture of discouragement and stamina. Mayweather said before the fight that Judah's stamina sucked and he'd exploit that. He based his gameplan around it, and it worked perfect. Judah gassed by 6th round. Mayweather was right. Judah knew he was gassed. And Judah knew Mayweather knew that he was gassed. All downhill from there.

    Manny has more power, better footwork, generates more angles, southpaw, faster combinations but similiar speed in single shots, yes floyd has the 0 but come on everyone know floyd has ducked the best. I cant see how floyd intends to win this fight? if so please tell me how? is he going to sit on the ropes and pot shot while pacman re-arranges his face?

    It's obvious we are going to disagree on Judah

    in his prime, Judah had speed and power, his style differed form manny and Floyd. His k.o. Percentage was also high.
    His main problem was the lack of discipline, not speed, power, or skill level.

    Had he won two fights earlier in his career, we would be having a different conversation on whether or not if he is an elite fighter
