Pac has an impressive resume and series of weight jumps, but I think I have to give the edge to Roy Jones.
-Manny doesn't take the test to prove he is clean; VADA is the way forward - Manny drains his opponents and beats them. - He is he the catchweight king - If Floyd were to fight Manny Floyd would win 100%. - Manny fights Top Rank fighters only Roy Jones wins everyday.
Manny has the much better resume. But like someone said earlier, Roy has the skills and not a bad resume. He did fight James Toney, Virgil Hill and Mike McCallum.
Hopkins prime was from around Glen Johnson - Echols II. You are past prime when you reach 35 Toneys prime started around McCallum 1 and ended at some point during his lhw run.
So what, that has nothing to do with resume & achievements. Roy fought loads of bums and was showboating against fighters who should never had been in the ring with him. Pac went on an insane run and climbed up the divisons beating guys everyone thought he would lose to. Pac has the greater resume and achievements. RJJ looked better in the ring.
Tarver had already ended Roy's career as a world class fighter just a fight earlier. Pac got outboxed 3 times by Marquez. Outboxed by Agapito Sanchez. Outboxed by Erik Morales. Got KO'd by nobodies...True Nobodies.
Did you even saw the fight? Sanchez gave Pac some trouble with his usual dirty style,but outboxing Manny no way did that happened.
Very few observers agree Marquez won all three. That point of view expose you. Pac fought better opposition - and won - for a bigger part of his career. Jones only stepped up to the plate a few times.
