Roy Jones....FMJ is 10mph slower than me..

[screwhead1]

There's no question about the speed of Roy Jones Jr., he's in a class by himself in that department. But his boxing style relied heavily on his reflexes to pull everything off with astonishing swiftness. He wasn't really all that good of a boxer, its more his speed allowed him to flagrantly disregard the orthodoxy of boxing's fundamentals. In many ways he created his own rules when he laced up a pair of gloves.

He was faster than Mayweather but not nearly as smart. Mayweather isn't just fast for the sake of being fast, he's quick and accurate. Roy would throw clusters of punches at his opponents, while Mayweather is much more economical with his. Speed that's disciplined trumps raw quickness eventually. Look at what happened to Roy when he slowed down, he didn't have enough defensive technique to keep himself out of harms way, so he just got pummeled.

good post, my friend...

I don't think I've seen a faster fighter than Roy pound for pound to be honest, maybe Sugar Ray Leonard. Not questioning that Roy said this, but to the TS, do you have the audio for article in which he stated this?

Roy looked faster because he was fighting bigger slower guys, while mayweather is fighting the smaller faster guys. Its hard to say who's faster. Imagine mayweather in the ring with some of the guys Roy fought. He would look like the flash. Both are very fast fighters, two different weight classes and extremely gifted athletes.

floyd is a better technical fighter than you.

floyd can take a punch while someone can hit you with a feather and knock you out cold, Roy.
