    That is what most people never understand- if you have an abundance of speed you literally can get away with many things.
    Like those beginning boxers trying to fight like Roy Jones and getting countered when they try to jump in with the lead hook or the ones that tried to copy Floyd getting smoked on the ropes trying to use the same defense.
    If you do not have those type of reflexes - and most do not - you simply can't fight like that.
    Its like a feather fisted boxer wanting to fight like Tyson - it just isn't going to be successful.
