BEST JAB
Paul Williams: Paul’s height and southpaw stance made it difficult for every fighter to figure him out, but his greatest weapon had to definitely be his jab.
BEST DEFENSE
Rodney Jones: I fought Rodney early in my career and lost. His defensive style made him successful early on in his career and difficult for me to figure out.
BEST CHIN
Joshua Clottey: Both Danny (Perez) and Joshua had granite chins. I remember landing big shots on both of them, but they just wouldn’t go away.
FASTEST HANDS
Manny Pacquiao: I tried countering and timing Manny but his hand speed made it difficult to do so.
FASTEST FEET
Shane Mosley: Shane could definitely move. He never allowed himself to be cornered.
SMARTEST
Miguel Cotto: No too many fighters go into a fight with a game plan and stick to it like Miguel.
STRONGEST
Clottey: Although I did not think Joshua had a strong punch, he had a strong body. I remember landing heavy punches, but Joshua would not even flinch. Each time I punched him it felt like hitting a solid wall.
BEST PUNCHER
Pacquiao: I have to say Manny’s punch was big for a small fighter.
BEST SKILLS
Cotto: Miguel was destined for success. With his amateur background, financial backing, and promotional support, Miguel had everything a fighter needs to make it easier for him to develop. You only grow as a fighter if your skills grow.
BEST OVERALL
Mosley: Shane had it all – hand speed, footwork, punch, defense – and he could take a punch.
