    Jones's footspeed doesnt seem that quick to me. However, LIGHTNING quick reflexes. Handspeed goes to camacho IMO.

    Ali, RJJ, and Camacho at 130. Meldrick was fast, but he sure did get hit alot. Explosive speed goes to the three I mentioned. As far as posters saying maybe it is guys they never seen fighting at very light weights, lighter doesn't make you faster. It is a gift just like power. You can work on some power, but power like Tyson is something you have or don't have.

    yea that was fast. There's a lot of boxers with great speed but judging from the time i started watching boxing in the early 90's. I gotta go with roy jones. He was fast and had power to go along with it.
