Was roy jones quicker than joe calzaghe?

Zags was quicker, face to face proof... Nice to see Roy gettin a taste of his own medicine. :headbang:

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.

this a trick question????????? rjj was on of the fastest all time

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

Jones was on steroids so we really don't know how fast he was.

Wanna see how fast he was watch teleseco,Paz, James toney.

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!

It's jones he's had punches you could barely see in slow mo. -_- what the first few rounds jones was the harder faster puncher then to.

Roy could throw 3 punches while Calzaghe was throwing 2 slaps.

Roy had faster reflexes, but once that went away he was done... Joe had faster hands though.

rjj in his prime was easily faster than joe cal

The other thing that makes his speed so impressive.. is that he did it at 168-175lbs...

Roy has a claim as the fastest ever... He put his hands behind his back and still landed his punch first... ummmmmmm...........

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.

lol................

Calzaghe was very fast but Roy had the fastest hands of all time p4p, imo.
