    You must not rate Ezzard Charles that highly (a consensus top 10 p4p ATG btw) :think

    Or even the gentleman in your avatar for that matter. :lol:

    RJJ easily

    Prime Jones was as close as unbeatable as you're going to get, at 168 at least

    Mayweather with ease.

    RJJ relied solely on his physical attributes. Those same attributes come into question following his failed drug test. Dude's a fraud.

    Wlad spent half of his career getting knocked out and humiliated? That's news to me.... Wlad unlike RJJ was able to recover from a major downhill spiral in his career. RJJ is easily is the most overrated boxer of all time...

    I think Roy easily. When he fought the elite guys he fought he did beat them easy.

    Essentially, YES.

    According to Klitschko nutthuggers, Wlad was a "green" fighter (despite the 150+ fight amateur background & Olympic Gold medal) from 96-2005. It's the explanation given for why he was KTFO by an assortment of tubby 40 year old golfers & Part-time furniture deliverymen and bitchslapped around the ring by Sam Peter for 12 rounds.

    96-2005 is literally over half of his career. The predominant portion of his career was spent as cannon fodder for journeymen. :lol:

    Where as, Roy Jones spent 14 years (89-2003) as a dominant, seemingly untouchable fighter. And 8 years as a shot fighter.


    Roy, unlike Wlad can't claim to have been KTFO in his prime.

    Roy, unlike Wlad can't claim to have been KTFO by multiple literal journeymen, in his prime or as a shot corpse.

    Roy was a dominant fighter in this sport across 4 weight divisions for almost as long as Wlad's entire career.

    You sir, do not possess the knowledge or credentials to stake such a claim.

    Or you can disprove my assertion in the previous sentence above by telling me where you rate Ezzard Charles all-time... who was knocked out by worst fighters then Jones was knocked out by at the ASSend of his career... but still is universally regarded as one of the 10 greatest boxers to ever live.

    RJJ all the way. History will **** on Floyd for not fighting Manny. In fact, the present pisses on him for not fighting Manny.
