Taeth you think roy would have fought hopkins or toney in his 9th pro fight or so? No dude sorry roy wasnt faster at 200 pounds than holyfield at cruizer he was fighting john ruiz, sur ehes gonna look fast against a fighter who has horrible hansdspeed poor footwork and hasnt a speck of boxing ability Fine lets cut the bs, you want to put a prime roy jones in against a prime 22 year old holyfield at cruizer and you think roy is that much faster? id luv to see it you guys would have been shocked. If roy was faster it was marginall but he would pitty pat at that weight against evander while evander hit harder and had a longer reach took a beeter punch and was probably better condtioned and naturally bigger. let the flaming begin but if you want to bump roy up to 200 pounds against holyfield when he was 206 at heavy again roy is marginally faster but a pitt ypat 1-2 against evander is all he could muster while evander was quick enough to counter and hurt roy. Holyfield had very fast hands when he was younger he has a reputation for being a warrior but he wa sat his beast when he boxed. evander should win he is the bigger man i understand that but you guys make more of roy at the higher weights than he was, he beat john ruiz on of the worst heavies i have ever seen. Funny roy picked ruiz and not byrd why was that? Who gave roy trouble albeit past his prime? Another boxer? I think byrd is overated but roy avoided him and hes close to roys size at heavy. Also ali wasnt just fast he had boxing ability, did you see wink wright shane mosley or the soon to be taylor wright. Happens quite often a long reach great jab nullifys speed, again sure roy was probably faster than a 29 year old ali but a 21-22 year old? As you get older and bigger you get slower, roy was not as fast as you think at heavy he fought john ruiz dude
