I haven't watched him in slow motion in awhile, and I am not as impressed as I used to be. He doesn't land a lot of stuff that appears to land in normal speed, its usually because of his fast hands, but he often seems to throw inches short of his opponent. Also on the opposite side he gets slightly touched by guys in many situations I thought he didn't. I am equally amazed at how much better Pacquiao looks in slow motion. He actually lands way more jabs than I thought he did and he evades more punches as well. Against Cotto I thought most of his jabs were being caught by Cotto's gloves, but watching in slow motion he actually often lands between the gloves and was especially good at countering Cotto's jab with his own.
This makes me far more intrigued if these two meet, and even with Mosley because if Mayweather wasn't landing that effectively on guys like Hatton, De La Hoya, etc until the later rounds who knows how things will end up against a faster guy than either of them because I watched Mosley-Cotto as well and once again Mosley looked like he was avoiding a lot of punches I thought he didn't, and actually made me believe he likely won that fight or came close to it.
