    Who had the better reflexes? Both must be insanely frustrating opponents to fight.

    Jones had some of the very best reflexes I've ever seen, i.e. in contention for the best. The fastest. Floyd's are up there as well, but he'd be behind Jones for me.

    What I see is one of those situations where NO ONE would want to give Floyd this type of credit...but lets be honest....Roy had great reflexes....but Floyd can do stuff with his reflexes that Roy could never do...Floyd's reflexes partly come from his instincts and the guy has the instincts of a wild cat...Mayweather..EASILY

    What does Floyd do with his reflexes that Roy couldn't ? Floyd is more technical with out question but honestly what could he do with his relflexes that Roy really couldn't ? You really think Mayweather can throw a 6 punch combo at a moving target ?

    They are very comparable, pure reflex wise, but it can't be questioned that Roy had that one punch KO pop when he did it.

    Roy would just smoke some sucka's mayn.
