Sorry but the champs of recent at middleweight have been some of the slowest around for a long time... S*** since RJJ left the chaps have been slow, hopkins wasn't a fast puncher in combos or power shots, taylor again isn't really fast and lacks power, pavilk can bang but S*** u got time to make a cuppa teat before that punch lands its so damn slow...

The bets class for power and speed would be super bantam - super feather... they guys are smaller and can all bang pretty damn F****** hard, it helps they are smaller so dont absorb the big htis as much, + the good uns are all fast
Ray Robinson - was fast and powerfull at WW, wasnt exaclty that fast at middle
Harry Greb
Carlos Monzon
Sugar Ray Lenord - faster and stroner at WW
Bernard Hopkins - wasnt axactly known for his speed
Winky Wright - good speed no power at lower weights let alone middle,
Kelly Pavlik - sllllloooowwwwww
Edison Miranda - he aint bad, jsut cant box tho lol
Marvin Hagler
Stanley Ketchel
Marcel Cerdan
Jake LoMatta - never thought of jake as much of a speedster either
Roy Jones Jr
John Duddy
Arthur Abraham
Jermaine Taylor - far from a big puncher IMO, some agree i know but still, doesnt throw fast combos either, has a good jab...

and another thing if Pavliks so slow hows come he has never been ko'ed or even beat. And why dose he knock everybody out. If your reach was 76 inches it would look slow too. Or maybee you watch too much little guys.

Felix Strum - cud be wrong but strumisnt exactly a power puncher?
James Toney
Roberto Duran - again one who was faster at the lower weights and stronger, wasnt as fast at middle
1884 Jack (nonpareil)Dempsey
Bob Fitzsimmons
Gene Fullmer
Thomas Hearns
Felix Trinidad. christ do I need to continue.
lol dont take it like im telling you watch weight to watch, i just dont get your thinking of the ebst weight for speed and power, most of the guys u mentioned were much faster and stronger at WW or lower, combined with the gys also at that weight would clown almost anyone at middle prolly the only exception being RJJ but he was superman... did think people were talking about now and no yester-year as well, coz i would find it shocking you were even alive to watch half of the names you mentioned...
