Punching power of Julian Jackson and the handspeed of Meldrick Taylor

RIP, do you know what he died from ATB?

 

Died in a hospital after a motorcycle crash.

 

I think Jones is your best bet for that formula. One of the fastest ever, with one punch knockout power, which especially shows in his single-shot body blow knockouts.

 

What Lester said.

He was a good fighter!

 

Ray Leonard

 

while i disagree, jackson had very underrated single hand speed. even past prime against mcclellan, he was able to land deceptively quick shots and was winning the fight on my card as he was beating g-man to the punch. the KO of drayton showed a wicked quick left hook

 

PP, don't be cute... how can you compare a MW Roy Jones with a HW Jack Dempsey in handspeed.? There are flyweights today that have faster handspeed than Roy Jones...Each in his own weightclass...

 

About as likely as a fighter with the strength and clubbing power of George Foreman and the abilities of Willie Pep.

 

Don't think there is

Anyway LHW Jones weighed 185 in the ring, same weight as Dempsey

 

I strongly doubt LHW Jones weighed 185 in the ring. 180 perhaps.

 

Same as Corrales, boxers don't usually have the longest life expectancies. Perhaps a tendency to play the risk game

Think I've seen him at 185 on a HBO pre-fight weigh in, but I can't remember which fight, not sure what clothing/shoes he had on for that though. Any idea how much weight Eubank gained back? I know he gained back a bit

 

Ray Leonard
Greg Page.

 

I'd be very surprised if Jones was 185 in the ring pre-03.

Eubank gained however much he wanted depending on his tactics. He said he came in at 174 against Thornton, Rocchi because the idea was to box and move, but came in at 182 against Benn at OT and Close in NI because the idea was to hook them out of there.

 

Leonard had a good punch.

But not comparable to Jackson's power.

 

Well Sugar Ray Robinson comes to mind, blinding combinations, and punches from all angles. But he could put you out with 1 hard shot too
