Don't see it

speed kills. Mayweather's only saving grace is his speed. If he didn't have twice the speed of every other boxer he would have been ko'd long ago.

That's all it takes, though.

WTF

What about his defensive prowess? What about his unreal timing? What about his ability to adapt to an opponent even when he seems like he may be in for a fight early on like against Oscar? What about the fact that when he has taken shots (he took a couple last night and took some good ones against De La Hoya) he doesn't look at all fazed. His Dad had one of the best chins I've ever seen and I think PBF has inherited that!

His defence looks great because he has twice the speed of his opponents. If he didn't have that speed his defence wouldn't look so good because he would be hit with at least 400 punches per fight. Since his speed is that great, he's lucky to get hit with 100 punches per fight. His speed is keeping him from being hit. Therefore his defence wouldn't work as good without the speed.
