His speed and punching power combined would hurt Taylor badly and stop him, especially since Taylor loves to keep that left hand down. And yes Virgil Hill and Montell Griffin are better fighters than Taylor. Griffin had two close wins over James Freakin Toney! And even in old age went the distance with Tarver. KO'n him in his prime is an accomplishment, considering how good he was defensively.
Maybe a young Jones beats Taylor . Today however I feel Taylor would fair better... All the assets Roy had that made him a champion are deteriorating rapidly via age , that sh#$ don’t ever come back . and those vicious Knockout’s Jones has absorbed recently has only furthered his demise. (He didnt just get knocked out, He got the F$## Knocked out. ) also You got to keep in mind Roy keeps his hands Low also, only now he isn’t as quick, and he gets caught.

I’ll say this about Taylor .He does need to ditch that amateurish left hand low thing, he puts himself in unnecessary risk doing that , and backing into those corner with Wright was stupid with the left hand low like that, . Lennox called that one right on the money !
