    Best RIGHT HAND LEAD - RJJ or PBF ?

    I'm watching Roy v Clinton Woods right now, Roy's right hand lead in his prime was bloody amazing.

    PBF also has a great right hand lead

    Whose is the best ? (in their respective primes), what other fighters had great right hand leads ? (or left hand leads if southpaw)

    I think Roy still has ALL his punches, It's not surprising that he does. His body hasnt been tested, he's fought nobody in his later career. Even with his losses, I bet he still has a grip left within himself.

    He doesnt drink, and takes care of his body...only had a few battle testing fights in his career.

    But even with all that, I say the Floyd's right lead cancels out Roy's and vice versa.

    Roy's had more power, Floyd's is shorter and faster, but it's a mosquito bite.

          But let's be glad he doesn't do that right now. It's dangerous for him.

          Hopkins used it effectively at times, but it's not nearly as fast as Mayweather's

            I was going to say Hagler when he was in southpaw stance since he was right handed but I guess that doesn't count.

              That may be true in the welterweight division for Mayweather but when he was fighting in the lightweight and bantamweights, moreso in the bantamweights, that right hand lead was devastating.

                He never fougtht Bantam, and he couldnt stay at featherweight for long.
                He had problems with Castillo, who was probably his toughest challenge in those lower weight classes. His main advantage has always been overwhelming his opponent with speed...when he didnt overwhelm his opponent with speed, he'd get a decsision in a close fight.

                He has speed, he has a quick short punches. But it hurts..to count those soft ass hits as "actual punches" in these heavier weights, lol Then to hear him talk ****, when you know damn well, take those gloves off and throw him ina cage..watch him get disposed of with those feather fists. But thats irrelevant.


                I think Roy's punches disposed of better fighter's in his prime, then Floyd's have. Thats in both their primes. And that's including the straight Right.

                  My mistake, I thought he started at bantamweight.
