Just watched Jones vs. Pazienza

[Taeth]

he was dodging almost everything Zab threw,

again with the "almost"

That has more to do with Mayweather's better defense instead of Zab's faster hands.

Mayweather sometimes used his defense, but alot of times his defense is just his reflexes which were fast enough to most of Judah's punches once he settled down (round 12). Also how a punch look from outside the ring, and fast the punch is for the person who is fighting are two different things. A straight jab looks slower than a snapping jab from the hip, but it actually gets there faster, and can be moving faster its just the arm fully extends. This is why Jones usually never really had an effective jab because unless the guy was way slower(Ruiz) or way smaller (Pazienza) he get it off. Another thing like I mentioned Floyd's arm reach was 4 inches longer than thatof Zab, and that makes punches look slower as well.
