Better resume: Mayweather Jr or Roy Jones Jr

If they didn't pick blown up little guys.

 

No clue who you're talking about.

 

Floyd's is deeper, but it's important to on the night. If we were to list the 10 best wins pulling from both resumes:

Toney
Pacquiao
Ruiz
Hopkins
De La Hoya
Tarver
Corrales
Cotto
Castillo
Griffin

Hill, Mosley, or Canelo might mix in there somewhere but I think evidence points to Canelo being green at that point.

Yeah, looks like Roy's best wins consistently rank higher, even though Floyd has like 10 other quality scalps from former or current champs Roy doesn't. His list goes on with Hatton, Judah, Mosley, Marquez, Hernandez, etc. but those shiny top-tier wins are what give Roy the win in my eyes.

 

Yes you do

 

Stop lying

 

Roy has waaaaaay better resume how is this even a question? Most of Floyd's best win have an asterisk he almost never beat guys at their best weight.

Roy's wins over Hopkins Toney Hill and Reggie Johnson are better than any Floyd win

 

It wasn’t a big deal at all.

It’s how they matched up stylistically.

Floyd already had huge advantages in speed and reach.

Ricky’s weight wasn’t in any way a factor.

Yes, boxing a heavier guy CAN be a factor depending on who you’re fighting and how you match up stylistically.

Looking solely from Floyd’s perspective, it wasn’t a disadvantage for him.

It wasn’t a fight where they were going to in-fight at close quarters.

 

Even though Reggie was a lot better at middle in 91/92 (so good he'd of probably beaten Jones), he's a different kettle of fish in general to a Ricky Hatton or 07 jmw Oscar or Carlos Baldomir or shot Gatti etc etc

 

Also Jorge Castro, what a great fighter he was! Easily one of Roy's best few wins, maybe even the best in a way

 

Seriously, RJJ 15 yr prime can only be summarized with 10 World Class names
Tarver, Toney, Hopkins, Ruiz, Hill
Woods, Harding, Reggie Johnson, Griffin, Pazienza

The top 5 is heavy but the bottom 5 is relatively weak for world class talents.
Then all other boxers were mere journeymen.

 

Clinton Woods?? Tony Thornton was leagues above him. Even Malinga was.

The same Woods who lost to David ****ing Starie? Get out of here!

Ruiz was average. Castro was a far greater fighter. Not even remotely close.

 

The rest weren’t journeyman.

Castro, Tate, Malinga, McCallum, Hall, Gonzalez, Sosa, Thornton and Lucas.

 

And where's Mike McCallum among these world class names? He's better than all of them, Jones included!

 

Your post is voided by listing Ruiz and leaving off Canelo. I am unaware of any other instance in the history of boxing of a guy almost sweeping a unified undefeated champion while in his fifth weightclass, 36 year old, and giving up 15 or 20 pounds in ring.

 

You never fail to amaze this is the dumbest thing I have ever seen
