i would have to agree with all this. i worked my @ss off trying to be "the fastest" i got faster but i still coudnt get faster than all the black guys in my weight class. ill tell you though if i land a straight or a hook there arent to many people that i have boxed that dont fall back on it. anyway..... you might be able to be as fast but why would you want to be as fast? why not faster?? there is no team in boxing. YOU are the only person trying to better yourself. work hard and be faster than srl. best of luck!
