17.01.08 Jones v Trinidad - fast and furious

[IMAGE]Roy Jones Junior has warned Felix Trinidad that he will be too fast for him when the duo clash at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

The four-weight world champion believes not even Floyd Mayweather can match him for hand speed.

However Jones insists he also has the power to knock Trinidad out in their catchweight contest.

Jones said: "Guess who's back... Roy Jones Jnr. Ain't nobody got the speed to handle me. Only Floyd Mayweather comes close to me and he's still 10 miles an hour slower.

"The best birthday present for me on Saturday night would be a knock out. Tito's fighting the toughest fight of his career. He picked me to get up for this fight.

"He knows I'm a guy who normally beats him so he knows what type of shape he's got to get in to step into the ring with me. I understand that.

"I feel good. Now is just the waiting. You fight the fight a bunch of times in your head and I think of different ways to do it. I have several options and every night I think of a different option."
