    Really you think?

    I say he's a few years out of his prime, but he's still in good condition.

    I still think so yes but another two years Father time will catch up with him.

    How can anyone put Roy.

    Roy Relied on pure Atheticism.

    Floyd relies on Atheticism combined with a freakishly high skill set.

    This is the reason he has and will continue to fight way past his prime when his body starts to slow.

    Guys like him, MArquez, Hopkins, Toney are prime examples.

    Mayweather is clearly the more impressive boxer out of prime. Just better boxing.

    Roy Jones dramatic fall from grace was probably the most impressive thing i've ever seen.

    floyd is a great boxer who has a great defence - just like when pac goes south, he's going to have more longevity than most...just like hopkins has

    When Floyd goes for 15 yrs with out a loss in over 50 fights than he will be more impressive than what Roy has done at his peak !

    look at who they fought and when....it's the only legit way to size up a fighter's career

    Yup ..And Jones had more fighters who were of hall of fame caliber closer to their primes than Floyd has ..

    But I know to Floyd fans its all about how much money he's made :lol:
