    Again Roy was less technical than every fighter he ever faced and was able to do that, so enough with ridiculous comparisons.

    The combination of his technique, timing, and athleticism, all played apart.
    Thank you.

        Ok, well you were implying speed had aboslutely ZERO to do with it.

        Where in fact, it was a combination of everything... including his speed.

          If you are open for a guys best shot, the probability falls on the side that they will land thus winning a couple rounds.

          It won't be that simple for Manny, unless of course he can frustrate Mosley then it is really simple.

            Wouldn't be surprised if the ref steps in to save him.

            Now come on, Reed. You're making it seem like Mosley isn't gonna caught Manny with anything big. Mosley can time Manny the same way he caught Floyd. After all, Mosley will have an easier target in front of him.

              Umm...no. Let's try and stick to the topic here. What I'm saying is that the idea that Floyd beat Mosley because of "superior athleticism and speed" is just ******.

                150 punches to the face a round should do it.

                  No less technical. As in he had less technique. He winged it which he was able to do based on superior athleticism.

                    Feb 2010: Roach: Mosley is too good a fighter.

                    November 2010[after a loss and a draw]: Roach: We'll fight Mosley in 2011.

                      And I disagree. LOL @ winged it. Please. Jones was a master of technique. Threw perfect hooks, perfect uppercuts, combinations. Good jab. Parried as good as any boxer today. Amazing footwork. Winged it? Yeah, ok.
