    Bare in mind that the clips here are RJJ in the early rounds of his last fight, and Calzaghe in the latter rounds of his last fight, therefore perhaps tireing (as there the only two clips I could immediately see).

    Has Jones slowed down, or is he still as quick as ever?

    Although youtube isn't accurate & of course you could tell alot more easier in person or even on tv, I voted pretty much the same.

    Jones Has A Lil Quicker Hands But I Think He Brings More Power Behind His Punches...

    I think it's close but Joe's hands are quicker because he doesn't put as much power into them (doesn't sit on his punches = quicker punch output + greater volume of punches)

    It better be JOnes.

    If it is Joe, short fight. But I think it is still Jones, assuming he hasn't slipped.

    Wasn't the question, mate. Who's habds are faster, wether they slap, punch or poke.

    Personally I think Calzaghe's hands are faster, but both in their prime I think Jones shaded it.

    Power + Speed = Jones
    Speed = Calzaghe

    I go just Calzaghe at this moment in time. Discarded the videos, joe is trying to hit a moving hopkins.
    Jones didnt need to go chasing Trinidad.

    Roy's hands are signifcantly faster, even at this stage.
