    tito could not handle the speed of roy. roy hit him with lighting fast jabs at times put some good punches together.

    so guys is he still the fastest.

    Possibly.

    But Jones should have really stopped Tito early. He didn't.

    With his hands, his feet are no where as fast as they once were and he fight in spots.

    Right now...Mayweather has the edge but Jones at 39 still has some incredible goods to offer fight fans !

    But...you can clearly see that RJJ cannot sustain throwing his lightning fast combinations because he tires out now...

    Roy is still quick when he sets his feet, but he cannot counter like he use to. Roy looked like **** when Tito backed him up, but the punches are lightning quick when he has time to plant his feet.

    Floyd is quicker on the backfoot right now.

    yeah but it looked like he never wanted to he was having fun.
    roy could have stepped it up at any time and took him out.

    His hands are still the fastest P4P. They were very fast tonight. Scary thing is he is 39 years old, what an athlete, the best ever.

    Tito was way above weight, but he is still a legend, and therefore Jones looked better tonight than he has in 5 years.

    Jones can beat Calzaghe. And if he does then what an acheivement it will be. Cant wait.

    roy could have stepped it up and knocked him out early if he chose to.

    YES.... He is still the fastest...

    and YES he could have easily stopped Tito but he chose to put some work in instead of taking the easy KO. He wanted to entertain the fans plus show the world that the Roy of old is back - and he is BACK!!!!!!!!!!

    Calzaghe is faster. Jones looked good against a slow footed, dim witted guy who hadn't fought in 2 years.

    The're nuts! At 39 he's still hits harder and is faster than JC. At his prime they would dare compare but now they feel like they have a chance. No way
