Was roy jones at 168 faster than mosely at 135

Faster for his size? Yes.

Faster hands overall? I don't think so, but they were both ridiculously fast. Mosley in his prime was a little energizer battery.

 

no. mosley was faster

 

Roy was faster. Both in a P4P sense and a literal sense. Watch with your eyes, not with what "knowledge" you're given about physics. Roy was definitely faster, and he was faster than most Featherweights, Bantamweights, etc as well.

 

That would be against the laws of physics. Smaller fighters are meant to be faster.

Roy however almost did defy the laws of physics it seemed at times.

 

Amen.

 

Faster in a p4p sense maybe... but in a literal sense? No ****ing way. :verysad

 

Roy wasn't faster than Shane. He was exceptionally fast for his weight class, but what really set him apart and gave the impression of WW-like speed was that he threw the punches from unusual, often bizarre, angles and positions.

i might give a slight edge to mosley, but most of his shots were alot shorter, while alot of roy's were wider. both were plenty fast. i think roy was fast for his weight

 

I don't know about at 168. But at 154 and 160 (including b4 turning pro) he was ridiculous. Maybe even faster than Mosley at 135. He was the new standard. Arguably faster than anyone before him including SRL (fighting at a lower weight class - 147). I think I'd take Roy at 154 over anyone.

 

That video settled it. Roy was definitely faster.:good

 

Incredible to watch old Roy fights. (Except when it's that Legends of the Ring **** with Mike Buffer doin cheesy commentary after every round and a friggin 12 round fight takes 2 hours to watch ).

 

Possibly, but I'd lean towards no. It's very close though.
