    I know Jones is faster, But I dont think its by very much at all. Even comparing Todays Joe to the Roy of yesteryears, I dont see a big difference.

    WHat are your opinions?

    Hand speed and punch volume are two completely different things, and are not the same. Do not confuse the two.

    RJJ, by miles.

    Put it this way. Prime Calzaghe is almost as fast as Prime Jones. But Prime Jones was punching to score, but to hurt you. Calzaghe punches to score, and thus has a bit of added speed there. If Jones only punched to score, like when he flicked his jab just to do so, there is a noticable difference in speed.

    :good

    Only fighter I can say is DEFINATELY faster than Jones IMO is Meldrick Taylor. Everyone is either debatable...or no ****ing way. Calzaghe falls into the no ****ing way category.

    Jones by a good bit, as another poster put it, Jones punches to hurt, Calzaghe punches to score.

    RJJ throws faster single punches, but Calzaghe can match him for throwing short combos in bunches

    I said I ALREADY KNOW That Jones is faster, I guess most of you guys only read the title. What I was asking was by HOW MUCH.

    "Roy Jones could throw power shots in combination form with speed"

    Joe Calzaghe shortens up on his punches and slaps fast.
