There's going to be some jealously from same country fighters where one is making more noise than the other. Though as a spectator and using my own eyes to judge, Moses is definitely not like the other heavies. His hand speed sets him apart in that he moves his arms like a middleweight. I've seen him throw punches in his last two fights where he saw an opening and just took it at lightning speed, even if it wasn't the KO punch. The fact that he can throw these quick shots at an opening at the speed that he does gives me Roy Jones vibes at times.

Obviously he has the power, so I think the only thing left to test though he probably doesn't want to is how well he takes a clean heavyweight punch. If he's got a chin, then he'll be very hard to beat for a very long time.
