    :huh:huhThe only person that calls him over-rated is me. Even then, he's in my top 10 P4P.

    And this massively under-rated speed thing is also, utter bull****. You are deluded.

    It'd be interesting to see the results if you made a poll about this on the Classic Forum. I just don't see how one could conclude that Duran had faster hands. :huh

    That's complete bollocks (in fact I was given hell for suggesting that Mosley's edge was minimal/insignificant)

    Tony Sibson.

    Looked like someone who should be carrying Jeffries Spitbucket, but could reel off triple left-hooks and various quick combinations with ease.He's another guy who had better raw handspeed than general reflexes.

    Ebihara, Chan-Hee park, Mark Johnson, Harada at Flyweight.

    JIbaro Perez was very fast for a brief time, though like everything else his speed soon went downhill.

    :patsch:patsch I thought they were fought at Bantamweight. This makes his victories over Eder Jofre that much more astonishing.

    harada was naturally a big Flyweight imo.If he had been a dedicated fighter around in recent decades he wouldn't have gone above Superfly without losing effective physical ability.The majority of the fighters he fought at bantam were clearly bigger than him.

    I attained the two fights and watched them without having read about them or even looked on Wikipedia or Boxrec. I just assumed Harada was always a Bantamweight when he became relevant at world level, even though he did look a bit small comparatively to Jofre in their first fight (haven't seen the second).

    Which big heavyweights are you talking about?? The ATG Big heavyweights are all faster then him besides maybe George Foreman. But Vitali klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko, Bowe... They are all faster then Rocky.
