I'd take that with a grain of salt though. For whatever reason, fighters always tend to praise guys they beat more than guys they lost to. A good example of this is when James Toney said that Merqui Sosa punched harder than Sam Peter.
Well by and large I take boxoing for boxing and judge on what I see rather than what I hear.
During the Mayweather Judah fight I thought that in the early going Judah did seem to be faster, but as the quality and quantity of his punching decreased I obviously couldn't say.
Then I see that Baldomir says Judah is faster even though he didn't really get along with Judah and now has a professional relationship with Floyd.

I felt even against Cotto Judah looked very fast. He's a nice fighter in fights that go well for him and although I have spent the last number of years consistently hating him, I am willoking him on in April against Margarito.
