Can Roy Jones Outbox T. Hearns with his super human speed? Or is Hearn's timing is just a bit too much?

Roy by KO!! Way too fast and explosive. Hearns would alsways be dangerous but Roy’s supreme reflexes and timing get him a KO win.

Tommy was at his best against much smaller fighters at the lower weights where he was a monster
Against Roy who was naturally bigger Tommy would only have a slight reach advantage
Tommy wouldnt be able to time Roy with his jab and would get knocked out

As much as I love Hearns I would pick Roy Jones to win by KO. Roy was superman in his prime at 160, 168 and 175. Hearns's best weight was 154. He was KOed by both Hagler and Barkley at 160. Just because Hearns won titles at heavier weights doesn't change the fact that 154 was his best weight. Jones outboxed Hopkins at 160 and he outboxed Toney at 168. Hearns was a fine boxer but not good enough to outbox Jones or take Jones's power.
