    I'd put it at "very good" but Roy Jones was on a level of his own when it came to reflexes.

      Quite the opposite actually, Jones started declining in '96 because he wasn't fighting good fighters

        Frankly, although his handspeed is great, I'd rate his reflexes/athleticism as just pretty good. Check out his "Roy imitation" from his last fight with whats-his-name. He posed like Roy, but when it came time to pull the trigger or slip a punch, it was really kinda lame. Certainly nothing like Roy was (although not far from where Roy is now).
        Roy Jones immitation?? Calzaghe was doing **** like that in the amateurs.

            hopkins was still in his prime at that age

            Baldomir is at the peak of his career and hes around that age as well

            34 is far from old, but it all depends on how u fought during ur career, and when u started
            A boxer reaches his physical peak between the age of 22 and 26.

                Yeah, being chemically assisted shows. No question about that.
