    end of thread. Floyd, more trained skill. Roy, more genetic gifts.

    if you want to ask most genetically gifted fighter ever, has to be Roy. I can’t think of anybody with THAT much. Don’t bring up Mike Tyson — too short, too short reach.

    Floyd, easily. Skills to back up his athleticism.

    Come on, are you out of your mind? Tarver is nothing to Floyd. 35 year old Floyd would have schooled the hell out of a welter Tarver.

    Toney is a stationary fighter when compared to pbf his footwork nor footspeed are nowhere as good. Pbf could fight off the back foot toney couldn't. You have to take that into consideration.

    Speaking of skills you realize Tyson when he was under Rooney actually out jabbed his taller opponents despite his height and reach?

    I’d love to see an exhibition between Roy & Floyd
    Even now I’d be entertained.

    Roy Jones Jr in the 1990's he looked unstoppable.
