Was roy jones quicker than joe calzaghe?

[SlickTurtle]

ROY JONES was noticeably faster, the more telling punches and especially, his opening punch. By this I mean that he had the ability to cover the distance from further away to the extent that his opponent, was nearly always taken by surprise, and either staggered, KD'd or KO's, at any rate it gave Jones a terrific advantage in always being "first " with his punch(es).

Another thing, unlike any other fast punching fighter, Jones punched with fierce power, a very difficult thing to do, when delivering so fast, especially in combinations of 5-6 or more.

Just my opinion.

I agree with everything you just wrote

what a waste of a thread

roy jones and its not even debatable.

look at these calzaghe ball munchers...disgusting

[nachorjj]

Roy with out dudes quicker and better

[daggum]

has calzaghe ever hit anyone with a lead punch in his entire career?...............answer no he's too slow to catch them.

he has to get close to his opponent and move his limp wet noodle arms around without retracting his arms. all time great stuff.

The haters just hate to give a great fighter & winner like Joe C. his props. When he fought Roy Jones, Jones was only 3 years older than Joe C. Both guys were in their late 30's & Jones was just coming off his biggest victory in years over future hall of Famer Felix Trinidad. Joe C proved he was not only faster than Roy but a better fighter when he beat Roy.

EXACTLY. Anything less than 5 years apart should be fair game, and the difference between Joe and Roy is less than 3.

Bunch of spoiled b**** dont want to give JC credit.

The difference is that Calzaghe was fast, but Roy Jones may have been the fastest ever.
