Does Roy have the fastest hands in boxing ?

5 fast hands that come to mind:
Berto
Gamboa
Pac
Dirrell
Donaire

 

He's not faster than Calzaghe.

 

Ignoring the fact that Calzaghe is retired, yes he is.

But he's no longer the fastest in boxing.

 

His handspeed is faster than calzaghe's, even at this stage and this was evident from the first few rounds of their fight. Workrate no, handspeed yes.

 

Indubitaly!

 

It is a shame that you can't find it in your heart to ever say something positive about Floyd. It is really depressing lol...

 

Well, 3/4 of the boxers today are faster than your plaster using hero Margarito you short, skinny, halitosis breath having, 4'11, shades wearing punk who can't even beat his little brother in arm wrestling lol...

 

Then what happened to his speed? Jones is not that old for boxing nowdays standards Calzague is 37 but still fast but why Jones lost half of his speed? STEROIDS ! is the answer, so stop admiring a cheater please, thank you, he must be banned and stripped from all his wins just like they did to those american track and field runners.

 

i'd say dirrell and jones

 

Yes, definately the fastest hands in boxing...........in 2001.

I love Roy and he looked great last night, but people are going way overboard about this. One, it was Jeff Lacy...Two, this is the first time he looked really good in like 3 years tops...And Three, THIS WAS AGAINST JEFF LACY!!!!

Like I said, I love Roy Jones. One of my three favorite fighters all time.

Pernell Whitaker
Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones Jr.

But come on guys. Fastest hands in boxing??? Not even close anymore. And it saddens me to type this.

 

Fighters I would put with or above Jones in "fastest hands" in boxing...

Dawson
Berto
Williams
Pac
Floyd
Bradley
Dirrell
Donaire
Pascal
Judah
Khan
Gamboa
Viloria

Just to name a few...

 

Good post:goodI still think Jones is one of a few fighters with the fastest hands in the sport, but applying this speed against a top fighter right now won't happen.

 

he is very fast but then again anyone can be fast when they don't put lots of power behind it.

 

Zab got faster hands than Pac. **** what you heard.

 

Thanks bro...:good

Think about it tho. Calzaghe didnt even have the fastest hands in boxing when they fought, and Roy was clearly slower and beated to the punch on a regular basis that night (I really hate thinking about that fight :verysad). Think of how much faster a Dawson or a Dirrell would be...

You know what...I love Jones too much for all this negativity.

That use to be one of the baddest men on the planet...I prefer to think of that guy when I mention Roy Jones.
