Hand Speed

Fast but fast flicks/slaps, not really punches

 

my dwarf 2nd cousin could knock him out within 30 seconds. look at that neck. overhand right from my dwarf cousin and he would be all over the place.

 

every fighter is fast tapping the accuracy ball.. i dont see those kinds of training drill as any kind of speed indicator.. real speed indicators can only be measured with an opponent that is using defense and offense in the ring..

i could easily look faster than m taylor right now at almost 40 and out of shape in drills

 

How many frames per second is it, and i'd like to see what he could do on a double end if it had more elasticity.

 

no offense, but that was barely a demonstration and to say it was the fastest one has ever seen makes me think you have not been paying attention to speed bags very much even if you have been around boxing gyms most of your life.

in the boxing gym I grew up in it was a known fact that a few of the most impressive dudes on the speed bag were not the best boxers in the gym or the fastest boxers in the gym. Plus a few guys became mini legends on the speed bag never becoming legends inside the ring.

This guy could be a fantastic boxer, but that single clip of him on the speed bag shows me little about his overall ability. Watching him hit a heavy bag would show far more about his overall ability than this Youtube clip does.

 

Roy Jones Jr. landing three true hooks on the bag in the span of 1 second IIRC is about as impressive as I have seen. And that speed definitely translated in real-fight situations under the lights.

I'd add Howard Davis Jr. and Meldrick and Ray Leonard and Floyd as among the best speed merchants I have ever seen.

There also needs to be some kind of pound-for-pound factor. Ali's jab, broken down on film, for instance, was faster than Ray Robinson's, which is absolutely astonishing speed for a big man.

 

:good

still some good, solid posters on here

 

same here
that was very impressive

 

People obsess too much about speed and go crazy mental about power. It helps but if you cant box or have a bad chin, it doesnt matter. Zab Judah had fast hands yet he was never better than mediocre.
