    I would say Julio had the better upperbody and head movement, as well as for blocking, and perrying shots. Chavez had excellent footwork...Shame may have had faster feet, but overall foot positioning, ability to cut off the ring..Chavez has the edge there. Yea speed definetly goes to Shane, but Chavez had excellent timing. And another thing i would like to add, Ring IQ..Chavez gets the edge on that too.

    1. Taylor was faster than Mosely & threw blistering 6-7 punches regularly every round, Mosely does not/cannot fight like that.

    2. Chavez fought Taylor in 1990 at 140 lbs where he had lost a bit of speed & defensive reflexes, this fight we`re discussing would be at 135 lbs were Chavez was at his best 2-3 years earlier in 1987-88. He was better then, go watch the Rosario fight & you`ll see one of the best fighters ever, period, Mosely ain`t touching that ****.

    I don't see Shane getting KO/TKO'd at 135, don't know how that has as many votes as it does.
