Roy was faster, stronger, to be exact, intelligent, had better reflexes, better backlash, more effective combinations, better footwork, better defence, more skill, more variety of shots and combinations, not to mention that he has more charisma
yes
and he was losing IT fast when he fought calzaghe
the saddest for me to watch lately (past 7 years been that long) was when he does his rope a dope laying on the ropes back in the day they could not hit him not so much the past 7 years
Cmon I like Calzaghe and Jones Jr.
But during his Prime no one has ever been faster than Jones Jr at the weights he's fought at,The man was unbelievable,the way he he could hit an opponent from such a distance away with lighting speed,comined with fast reflexes wihich made Roy so hard to hit in his prime.......Jones Jr was faster and it's not even close.

For a single punch Jones is faster. For a burst of 5 or 6 I pick Calzaghe.
When your punche. Don't really ever extend out it's gonna look faster watch Paz or Harris fights he beats it in the speed department
Since im new here im not allowed to post a link! So if someone could please post up the youtube vid from round 6 of the Clinton Woods vs Roy fight? That should give you an impression of how fast exactly a prime Jones was!
Calzaghe has nothing on ROY!! PERIOD!
Roy!
RJJ at SMW had fast hands and quick reflexes. Can't think of anyone with the same power, handspeed, reflexes at any weight class. But he relied too much on reflexes, as he slowed down, due too age, he didn't have the skill or technique to fall back on.
The advantages for Joe Cal were his chin, recovery time, and heart. RJJ would beat him regardles, prime vs prime @ 168.
