Don't think floyd hits as hard as those guys, esp with his brittle hands. And you're right Sweet pea probably shouldn't be up there, but there are several guys that could have been up there..Arguello, foster, trinidad, judah, GMAN, toney, etc... ..but this isn't an hypothetical "All time" poll, its just a question asking of those listed, Who had quicker hands combined with power?...

This why Mayweather and WHitaker shouldn't be up there because they didn't possess elite power.

I am surprised Hearns' isn't up there, I think his speed was way up there and his power at WW was p4p as elite as anyone as I can think of. It wasn't the type of power that looked good on a punching bag, but he had the kind of snap that could render almost anyone unconscious.

Also I think its super unfair to not have Manny up there, for a guy who still about a lightweight in size to be outpunching/outpowering some of the biggest/strongest guys at welterweight is an awsome feat that any competent boxing fan should admire. I agree as a welterweight he probably doesn't ahve the one punch power of some guys, but imo his power would be up there with SRL and Mosley, and he is just as fast. I just think its his tenacity that separates him offensively from these guys. Leonard and Mosley had/have a very difficult time both being the warrior and the boxer simultaneously while Manny does it effortlessly, and I believe he works harder in the gym.
