    Purely based on handspeed, which one had faster hands in their prime?

    Mosley probably, though not in as particularly useful a fashion as Leonard.

    Mosley was an early pre-cursor {no pun intended} to the Leap Amateurs of the day.

    Speedy Slugging, Power-Boxing and all that good nonsense. It worked a treat with a guy like Oscar but was utterly useless with little more than a tall rangy guy with a good right hand.

    Mosley with single shots, Leonard with combinations I'd say is fair.

    Mosley strung them together pretty quick in his 20s too

    Tough call. Ray could really sling them.

    Indeed. Good observation.

    Handspeed is nice. Effective handspeed is a lot nicer.

    Leonard. It is one of my first memories as a kid. I couldn't elieve how fast he was and he threw punches properly. Mosely threw punches much like an angry retard who is upset at the driver of the short bus.
     
  11. Somebody find and post the video of Leonard in the Olympics when he was unleashing ridiculous flurry after ridiculous flurry. Juxtapose that video with the one of the ludicrous flurry that Shane unleashed against Antonio Diaz towards the end of that fight.


    I would like to compare those.

    Flurrying speed is equivalent. Combinations (accurate telling punches strung together) go with Leonard. Single Shots, possibly Shane.

    Leonard, based purely on speed and by a mile when factoring in effectiveness.

    I actually think Leonard is probably slightly faster. Shane threw punches like Charlie Zellenoff.

    Single shot speed Mosley had the edge.

    Leonard was obviously a neater, more accurate puncher.
