Roy Jones Vs Floyd Mayweather: Who is faster?

[gqjohnb]

i meant like a slight slight slight edge to roy

Come on, compare them back to back...



**** is mad close

Roy just used to unload on motha****as though that left hook when he would would like quadruple and quintuple it up was just off the chain we may not ever see a guy like RJJ in the game ever again.

[THE REED]

I woudnt give Floyd better reflexes than prime 27 yr old Roy Jones.

I hear you but its hard to compare Roy relied on his reflexes way more than floyd and I think that was his downfall because reflexes are some of the first things to go with age especially when your taking punches from the heavier divisions.

Well it was definitley his downfall, but were talking PRIME here... the fact that he USED his reflexes to slip duck counter incoming punches was a testament to how good his reflexes really were

RJJ, RJJ was a better overall athlete in his prime... Floyd the better tactical fighter and more textbook.

[S.G.]

It was Jones Jnr, the speed at which he could throw power punches was unbelievable. It's a testament to his speed that he's actually faster than an incredibly quick super featherweight-welterweight like Mayweather Jnr in an out and out sense (not P4P) too

[Dynamite Kid]

I give Mayweather the better reflexes than RJJ. I disagree floyd's hands are definitively exeptional when you look at him let go of that straight right it accelerates better than anybody in the game right now. Even shane when he sits down on his punches.

Better reflexes? 2.31, that is as good as it gets.

[AKATheMack]

Prime for prime easily goes to Roy in both foot and hand. Roy still has better hand speed than Floyd right now.
