One thing that I really loved about Holmes' jab is that he could throw it going backwards better than anyone I've ever seen. And not just slowly backing away, he could be completely on his bicycle circling away and just fire a jab as hard and snappy as if he was shooting it coming forward. It's no wonder why he was champ so long.

I think Holmes' speed and fluidity would have troubled Lewis, who had a great jab himself but mostly fought guys who were 225+ and not nearly as mobile as a guy like Holmes or Ali.

It would have been an interesting fight to see, could have went either way I reckon.
