No. And I doubt we'll ever again see a man of his size ever have as much footspeed and body movement. Sad thing is he had more to come but mental issues took their toll. God speed Batman.
RJJ definitely was P4P the fastest. Also had a lot of stiffness in his punch, so explosive. Meldrick Taylor litterally looked like he was in fast motion, I felt his technique could have been a bit different and he could have been an even better boxer. Everyone else on the list is very fast, but those two guys I mentioned really were something else. Which says a lot, since the guys on the list already have jaw dropping speed.
I think Meldrick Taylor and Hector Camacho are neck and neck when it comes to blistering lightning quick hands. Makes you appreciate how Chavez was able to handle arguably the two quickest fighters and just dish out a full blown beating.
You should watch Calzaghe against Eubancs Senior where Calzahe was in his prime and displays lighting speed. Nothing sloppy in technique in that much younger version. This content is protected This content is protected
One of the biggest boxing myths is that Calzaghe never had power... He had to adjust his style due to all of the injuries he suffered. But he DEFINITELY had power and speed to go along with it. Mario Veit, Eubank and Mitchell will all tell you that Calzaghe could crack.
one said he pissed blood for 3 weeks, the other one was basically ruined in that fight. but yeah, nothing but cab drivers
Russell and gamboa are on their own level, this has everything to do with them fighting at such a low weight class. Comparing ww to fw in speed is just silly
