Roy: Floyd is 10MPH slower!

Thursday, January 17 2008

Roy Jones Jr. worked the mitts and showed some of the blazing speed that made him the pound-for-pound best boxer for a decade during a media workout Wednesday at Kingsway Gym in New York featuring fighters from Saturday's "Bring on the Titans" boxing event at Madison Square Garden and on HBO Pay-Per-View. Jones will face Felix “Tito” Trinidad in the main event. "Guess who's back, Roy Jones Jr.," Jones declared. "Ain't nobody got the speed to handle me. Only Floyd Mayweather comes close to me and he's still 10 miles an hour slower," Jones quipped. "I feel good. Now is just the waiting. You fight the fight a bunch of times in your head and I think of different ways to do it. I have several options and every night I think of a different option."The best birthday present for me would be a knock out on Saturday night," continued Jones. "Tito's fighting the toughest fight of his career. He picked me to get up for this fight. He knows I'm a guy who normally beats him so he knows what type of shape he's got to get in to step into the ring with me. I understand that."


Hmmm, i'm not sure Floyd is smaller so he should be faster. Missed the old crazy combos of RJJ. It's just that PBF doesn't let his hands go as often. But I loved the performance against Ricky Hatton.

Jones was faster in his prime, but not now.

Prime for prime Jones is probably faster. But Mayweather's defense is MUCH better. And so are his fundamentals. And his chin. Jones' knockout was bound to happen, but under similar circumstances Floyd may not have even been knocked down. Look at the close of the fight with De La Hoya. Oscar hit him on the button with a hard shot and Mayweather didn't even blink.

In my opinion that fight was an SHOW because Oscar hit more hard than that , that is why Floyd even blink... I realy want see if Floyd can hold a Cotto Shot like that.... What do yu think?

I've only seen floyd stung once....and he coped with it very well.

I can't see Cotto having Mayweather in trouble unless Mayweather gets really careless.

the tarver knockout on roy would have kayoed just about anybody...let's add up the factors

1 - a naturally bigger man
2 - a perfect shot on the chin
3 - opponent doesn't see it coming

yeah floyd would go night night too....if oscar had all those factors lined up for him.... matter of fact if baldomir had all those factors against him (floyd) he'd probably kayo him..

Well, Oscar is a naturally bigger man and it was a perfect shot on the chin. While Mayweather was trying and ideally anticipating shots coming, I would say he didn't see that shot in particular coming. He wasn't shook. We all agree that it was a one-in-a-million shot that Tarver landed, but between the two, Mayweather has the better chin. Is this even disputible?

aint nobody got the speed to handle Roy, maybe not it isnt his handspeed that hes lost, it seemed to me like his footspeed, and does Roy have the chin to handle any good fighters hard shots? ( personally I hope he has gotta love rjj Old or Young)

Mayweather really early in his career against Miguel Melo was hit with a massive shot. And Mayweather took it very well and recovered in quick time as well, and even the massive shot he took against Corley it only took him 20 seconds to recover then he gave Corley a taste of his own medicine but even worse.

Shut you face Roy and please go easy on Tito

Floyd was faster at 130 maybe. But a Prime Jones had faster hands than any one above 160 in the history of Boxing maybe.

SRL was the fastest

Unless an opponent were to fall asleep how would it be even possible for them not to see a Carlos Baldimor punch coming?

PFP, Jones in his prime was faster than Floyd.

You could make an argument that Ali and Jones are the two fastest guys PFP in history.

Jones still has very good handspeed to this day. It's his legs that are completely shot.

it only takes one shot for a fighter who's chin had never been in question to all of a sudden become "glass jaw"
roy took a flush punch from james toney and mocked him afterwards, he took a flush right hand from a true heavyweight (ruiz) and didn't fall..then a perfect shot from tarver and he has a weak chin...lennox lewis tooks shots from holyfield, was in a war with ray mercer, got sparked by oliver mcall and then his chin is weak...

soon as the planets line up and floyd gets hit and doesn't get up he'll be the one with a glass jaw....but it makes sense because just like the aforementioned guys how else would floyd lose? nobody on the planet is going to outbox him for 12 so the only way for him to lose is to get kayoed by a god sent punch
