Sugar Ray Leonard had some of the fastest hands ever.

The moment at 2:45 where he tried to get up and pretended he was doing the chicken dance would have failed a high school drama class.



He got hit with a punch but it was a light punch.

Liston was managed by the mob, he worked for them. Fixed fights were not uncommon around that time.

We covered whether the punch was legit. You can't fake that shock-wave from the punch. I like how you completely ignored that in calling it a "light punch."

Conor McGregor has amazing handspeed despite having great timing, precission and power.

Pacman and Naseem for boxing. Eddie Alvarez and Marcus Davis for MMA. I guess im taking the technical aspect into it as well. Paul Daley used to have some quick hands too not so much anymore

 

[Black Paladin]

Receipts.

No that's isn't the general rule lol. I've trained with lighter fighters and they weren't faster, and I've seen heavyweights with faster hands than lighter weight fighters. It depends on your training. The fighters that focus on explosiveness and speed will have it. Doesn't matter what weight class.

That's absolute bollocks, you need to change your name immediately.

He loss his fights because he wasn't fast enough in the pocket. He has fast hands but he loss to fighters with faster hands than him in the pocket.

Who has he lost to that has faster hands? Cody is pretty substantially ahead of all his opponents in raw hand and foot speed, his issues are elsewhere.

Some off the top of my head besides Roy Jones are... Pacquiao, Tyson, Saki, Belfort

 

[LilNicky95]

probably the great Roy Jones eh? Who else is in there.

“You know Roy Jones Jr respects the hands of Forrest Griffin Joe”

Admit you love Mcgregor

 

[gaffbyknees2]

Admit you love Mcgregor

I do.

 

[kalabula]

He did eat that jab though lol

I’m not sure that he did. The slow mo looks like he rolled just out of the reach of it.
