    You don't even know what you're talking about now. I think we'll leave it at this and stop slowing down this thread & the debate.

    Drop it already.

    I voted Camacho is i believe he has more "intent" behind his punches, while Taylor is damn quick, but doesn't get enough behind his punches.

    Leave it with you telling me I don't know what I'm talking about?
    Sorry dude, but you are dumb. I agree we shouldn't be doing this here, but it is what it is.

    I'm glad the poll degenerated from "Fastest fighter" to "which fighter had the best mix of power punches and bad intentions"

    It's different levels of speed though, if you're putting a lot into a punch like Jones Jr does, then it's evidently going to be slower. If Taylor or Camacho put such weight and leverage behind their punches, maybe they wouldn't look as quick as Jones Jr in that aspect. I think if Jones was putting together arm-punches in combinations like Taylor & Camacho did on occassions, he would look just as quick.

    It looked liked Camacho was trying to hurt people with his 1-2 to me, it's just that he didn't have power like Jones.

    Right, but that has to be the merit. You can't say George Foreman only punched harder than tyson because his arms were bigger. If he punched harder he punched harder.
    You can say "who threw the flashiest punches, or best combination of speed and power" but I thought this poll was purely for speed.

    I like Meldrick Taylor in this one. That guy had serious speed.
