Roy Jones at middle or Super Middle in my opinion is the fast i ever seen, pretty boy is not far behind him.

Your not necessarily wrong... I thought I was right when I measured the time it took for a guy to jab or to throw a punch at a hundredth the speed, and stuff like that, but its hard to measure in with guys like Leonard where their actual arm reach wasn't ever measured, and the fact that boxers change the speed of their punches.
Taking punches from
Leonard-Benitez
Leonard-Hearns
Mayweather-Judah
Judah-Spinks II
Mosley-Oscar Dela Hoya
their punching speed was roughly
Mosley(by a hair)
Mayweather, Judah, Leonard
then a gap
Hearns, Spinks
Benitez
Dela Hoya
At 135 and below however
Mayweather was faster with his straight punches and hooks than Mosley, but he never threw those fluid combinations.
Fights
Mayweather-Corrales, Castillo II
Mosley-Holiday, Leija
However guys like Robinson the frame weren't even 60/sec so it really didn't work that well with him even at middleweight to gauge. Even Ali was hard, but he had comparable handspeed to guys like Hearns and Spinks which is rediculous. Mike Tyson actually matched up with Arturo Gatti.
This work I did was purely with the time it took from the punch to reach its target, and the time it took to get back. Guys like Hearns I made it more even because he has 31' arms.
Watch Roy JOnes jr. then watch Mosley-ODLH 1, or Mayweather-Corrales... you will see he isn't as fast as them.Originally Posted by mayorook
