    At home in Pensacola Fla ? Never fought the real contenders? One his chin was caught he was shot, Whilst Pac came back from that devastating KO as good if not better than ever

    Pretty sure Floyd would have won. What's the relevance to the topic?

    Did he EVER fight a legit contender outside the US ?? In fact you could count the legit contenders on one hand
    Roy & Ward were alike in that respect. Loved the home cooking

    Sure, but what's the relevance when it's between Pac and RJJ?

    Manny. Fought better opposition. Roy at his peak looked unstoppable, untouchable. Manny at his peak got touched up, but the Barrera victory was better than anyone on Roy's resume. At least off the top of my head, I think that. I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Both great fighters.

    If Ward cleaned up SMW he'd get fired as a janitor lol. Dirtiest of the modern day fighters, made Golota look like a schoolboy. Cross the Atlantic to fight Roy in Pensacola??
    Thats like going to Vegas to to fight Floyd or Canelo ROFLMAO & you know it like everyone else
    How often did Pac fight at home ??or Margarito ???

    RJJ was an amazing fighter looked invincible during much of his prime but then other than Hopkins and Toney he wasn't being regularly tested against the best like Pac was doing year after year. It's easy to look invincible when you are facing over matched opposition.

    Pac's resume is simply better and deeper. Wins over MAB, Morales, JMM, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Bradley, Thurman etc. In contrast RJJ really only has Hopkins, Toney, Ruiz, the first Tarver fight, Hill and the rematch with Griffin. It's just not comparable.

    Maybe RJJ could of been the greater of the two but he was just content to make easy money while Pac in contrast sought out the toughest opposition and that is what separates the two.
