    Roy Jones also had great timing. Just look at his fight with Virgil Hill.

    Great timing is defined as a boxer who has a high percentage of punches landing which cause impact.

    Carlos Maussa does not fit into that definition.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Cassius Clay

    He came along when Sonny Liston wanted to get out of boxing and 'cash in'.

    He came along when Floyd Patterson was nursing a 'bad back' and trying recover from
    back-to-back 1st-Round Knockouts to Sonny Liston.

    Having excellent management with tons of money helped as well.

    Having innate talent helped the most.

    Says the guy that misquotes Larry Holmes. The biggest opportunist is heavyweight boxing history. Feeding off the table scraps of Ali's table.

    Byrd, Toney, Calzaghe, Hopkins, heck all the champions had good timing.

    Tyson in his heyday had superb timing.

    It's the one thing he immediately lost after Rooney departed. People lament the demise of his defence, but his timing was the first thing to go and he never got it back.

    I think Byrd gets overlooked quite a bit. Thinking about it his hand speed was right up there with some of the best at the time also. Not much pop but very sharp, one of the only guys I've seen make David Tua "Uggh" with a body shot. 6th round I believe.

    Tapia had killer timing, great at rolling in hard body shots off leads. Going in and coming out.

    Carlos Monzon was methodical and thunderous, grinding down opponents with precision punching. He appears one dimensional, one paced, but he had extraordinary ring craftsmanship, timing and a paralyzing right hand. He broke fighters down who couldn't counter him enough to hurt him.

    Vitali Klitschko is underrated for his timing. Actually reminds me of Monzon.
