Who fought tougher opposition Roy Jones jr or Floyd mayweather

Roy fought ATG Calzaghe,Hopkins ans Toney.. Mayweather has not fought one ATG..

 

floyd hands down. he had a better resume then roy after 2002 !
only people roy fought worth a damn was hopkin, toney, griffin, tarver, johnson, trinidad, ruiz im not counting quendo and lacy.

 

But than again we have to be fair to Floyd , hes no true welterweight himself , the majority of his career was at 130 pounds .

 

I voted for Roy , but i have to disagree with you . Toney is hall of fame worthy , but Not ATG . Calzaghe is not even hall of fame worthy , let alone ATG status .

 

Damn, replies like this is one of the reasons these boards suck now. :bart

 

It was a good post.

Toney's inconsistency makes it hard to class him as a ATG. I would place him a borderline atg, but he is definately a Hofer

Calzaghe' s resume lacks the depth to make him a ATG.

 

RJJ has lower low points when it comes to his opponents but when he did test he done really well - his wins over Hopkins and Toney plus going up to HW are better wins than anything Floyd has on his resume imho.

 

floyd


prime undefeated hatton
cotto at 154
oscar tt 154
prime ghost
mosley
undefeated chico
castillo twice
marquez
ortiz
zab prime

 

of course! RJJ would ktfo Ortrees in less than 3 minutes.

 

Roy - Toney and Hopkins

thats way better than any of mayweather wins

 

I am sorry but this has to go to Roy Jones. Prime Hopkins, prime undefeated Toney, end of story. If Floyd would have fought Pacman and Sergio and won them, then we can talk about this.

Btw I am a ****ing huge Pretty Boy fan.

 

Dude the only people worth mentioning in that list is Hatton and Chico. Seriously all the others barley mattered. I mean a Mosley past his prime and the Ghost guerrero are you ****ing serious?

 

Floyd struggled against a 34yr Oscar who was solid but obviously not in prime & battered cotto.Roy beat young hopkins & skooled a prime toney is this a serious question.Floyd never fought b-hop/Toney forget a Roy jones jr.

 

Undefeated, but not prime. Hatton was a beast at Light Welterweight. He only had 2 fights for the welterweight title, Collazo and FMJ.

When he moved up to welter, he wasn't the same fighter. He struggled against Collazo and barely won a UD. (one judge had it 114-113, the other two 115-112)

Hatton was a better fighter at the 140 pound limit. He even looked impressive when he went back down to light welter after losing to Mayweather, and beat Lazcano and Malignaggi. Hatton's win over Malignaggi is pretty impressive looking back now considering what Malignaggi has done since the Khan fight.
