      All 3 have/had better reflexes than Roy IMO.

        people are gonna be mad when they hear the truth
        becuz they might misunderstand what it means
        ROY JONES!!!!!!
        thats not to say that he was better than ali
        he simply had better reflexes
        meaning he saw punches comin easier and slipped punches better
        this does not mean roy was better than ali
        ali was a more complete fighter
        with greater skill
        but when it comes to reflexes
        jones takes it

            I still think Ali had better reflexes. I know what people are saying about Ali being a more complete fighter but Jones having the best reflexes, but if you watch earlier Ali fights, like against Liston, Moore, Patterson and Chuvalo the guy's reflexes are crazy. But I can see why people are picking Jones, in his prime he was crazy. So quick and elusive - and powerful until he got too cautious

              How anyone can think otherwise is beyond me.

                I'm tempted to say RJJ, but bear in mind two factors:

                * Ali's reflexes were being frequently tested against top level competition. Roy's were.... well, y'all must've forgot.

                * Ali never once said "It'll be a thrilla... and a killa... and a chilla... when I take the steroid shot in Manila."
