    Roy Jones Jr. vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. and let's say that they're in the same weight, who would win if they fought now? I feel Conor could beat Roy right now.

    RJJ is a stylistic nightmare for PBF. A guy who's a better natural athlete than him who could counter him and beat him to the punch. If they were the same size RJJ would own him.

    I agree with Pimp C. If both fighters were at their prime and somehow in the same weight class, Roy is gonna win. He's an absolute stylistic nightmare for Floyd, Roy's unorthodox style, speed and power would be too much for him to handle.

    Floyd loses. Badly.

    Roy Jones jr was just other worldly in what he could do. A different planet of reflexes, speed and overall athleticism.

    Roy Jones Jr is the much better version of Emmanual Augustus who Mayweather said was one of if not his most difficult opponent.

    At the same size I'm picking Roy Jones Jr UD. However Mayweather has shown time after time that he can adapt mid fight so I'm picking it would be a close one.

    jones speed and reflexes at his prime were unnatural, we will all die without seeing anything similar again.

    how many atgs would you pick to win to RJJ? I wouldnt pick a lot of them, if any, that's for sure.... ridiculous, everytime I rewatch any of his fights it's the same... omg! extraterrestrial, where did you come from, boy? mars?
