How was Floyd so fast?

This footage never gets boring to watch.

 

Nope, not everyone is "born with it". The amount of people alive who could match Roy-type-speed and combination punching even with training would be far less than 1% of the world's population.

 

That is very well said. That is exactly how Floyd fights. Combinations with educated pauses interspersed as he calculates in split instants where the next punch should go. He rarely throws a "flash combination".

 

A high amount of fast twiching muscle fibres. :deal

 

Sure thing.

 

Genetics, but also timing, fighters like Floyd, Ali, and Jones ect. not only were fast, they had perfect timing. As soon as they saw an opening their reflexes would kick in. It takes alot of skill and training to be able to have that type of timing.

 

spot on.

 

Floyds the opposite of shoe shine guys b/c he literally hates wasting punches. You can see it in his face whenever he misses a shot he looks pissed at himself. He is a firm believer in making every punch count. He is fast as hell all around. But on offense he is focused on accuracy and not volume.

 

Aaron Pryor, Ray Leonard, Meldrick Taylor, prime Shane Mosley are just a few who impressed me much more than Mayweather in the speed department.

 

:good

 

Very true. I think Floyd's greatest gift wasn't so much his speed as his pin point accuracy. He sends them off like guided missles.

 

Remove Floyd's dick out of your mouth. :deal

 

Talent, God given gift
