    In terms of handspeed, I'd rank Camacho number one, followed by Taylor, Jones, and Leonard.

    I think Taylor was faster than Camacho, but youmay be right Brooklyn

    About that photo I promised you, my scanner says 'Scan and Print' and 'Scan to Memory Card.' I'll have to buy a memory card so I can save it on my computer, then I'll PM you.

    he was real fast for the first 6 rounds and average for the rest of the fight, If he had more stamina then his record would be better against the elite fighters.

    Just because he looks very fast when you watch his fights.

    You can be fast and lose a lot of fights (well, Zab has only lost 5 fights, just like Mosley). This is because he lacks other aspects.

    Zab has great hand speed, but they didn't always have "pop", and he couldn't take it as well as he dished.

    Camacho when he was coming up was rediculous, as was early RJJ.
