Roy Jones Vs Floyd Mayweather: Who is faster?

[Syf]

I'd give Roy the edge, prime for prime.


but its not really by a wide margin like some are saying.. Roy was fast in a different way than Floyd is. Offensively fast. Floyd's defense speed though? Footwork? I mean there is more factors here than just punch speed.

Still, prime Roy edges it.

mayweather has better boxing skills but a prime roy jones was a much better athlete than floyd.

[Mr. President]

mayweather has better boxing skills but a prime roy jones was a much better athlete than floyd.

What does that have to do with anything? He asked who's faster and in that respect Mayweather has the upper hand.

[Chunk..]

Roy is faster, and it's not even up for debate.

RJ, I don't doubt at all.

[Doctor_Tenma]

altogether
prime for prime

Prime for prime and we're talking Mayweather's best weight ofcourse right? Roy had the better hand speed and Mayweather had the better foot speed.

RJJ. Floyd isn't all about speed... Zab Judah was notably faster than Floyd in the opening of their fight.

[SOPH~ REP.]

Mayweather easy

[illmatickid]

in their prime...
roy obviously...roy was unreal...his combinations made your eyes go like

plus i think his REFLEXES were a tad bit better than floyd's
but yea in all honesty floyd's the fastest boxer we've seen since a prime roy
