I have always thought that tommy hearns would give roy nightmares due to these factors, he is long and could keep you on the edge of a jab, and had a straight right hand, the two ingredients you need to beat roy, hearns is simply tarver x7 with power. Im not saying roy could not win but boxing is styles, roy has made everyone look bad true but keep in mind hopkins and toney are counte punchers not the style you need to beat jones you cannot wait on him, while jones was most likley faster than most Id have liked to have seen him in their with another fighter with some speed.
