    I think Cotto-Mosley was a damn close fight and Shane finished stronger if I remember, will have to watch that one again.

    It was a great fight, and EXTREMELY close with Shane switching to a more mobile/boxing style towards the end and Cotto fading. That being said, Shane couldn't fully pull away due to the fact that Cotto was consistently landing his jab despite Shane's advantages in foot and hand speed. That is a very underrated win for Cotto.

    Kostya Tszyu had great timing.

    I tend to disagree. Kostyra was physically VERY strong and was exceptional at the middle distance and closer. Kostyra was a great fighter when he was on, and was pretty accurate and set up his shots well, but he seemed to be more of a strength/power guy than someone who relied on timing. Just my take though...

    Kostya had great timing just ask Judah who is very difficult to catch that clean. Perfect timing.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.
