    Jones W UD. Bad style for Floyd. He neither fought anyone with a style that resembled Jones. The closest fighter to Roy that Floyd fought comes was Judah, & he gave Floyd problems for the first 4 rounds before Floyd adjusted to beat him & Judah (while skilled & athletic) is nowhere near as gifted as Roy.

    Floyd got hit less by Canelo at 154 than Ray did by Kalule and Floyd would have done better v Norris at the age of 36 than Ray did around that age.

    How is any of this relevant to a Floyd vs Ray fight at WW-JMW?

    Roy would potshot Floyd and beat him at his own game.

    throw in Carlos Hernandez as well who went on to become WBC champ after losing to Mayweather,
    Idk tho this is a tough one at Weltee Mayweather had enough pop to keep you honest, and even in old age remained one of the fastest fighters but Roy might just be all wrong he was one of the biggest freak athletes in boxing history I wanna say Roy by pretty easy decision and that’s just out of respect

    See that’s the thing people forget how good of an athlete Floyd was at 130 though. I don’t think the speed discrepancy is as big as some think due to Floyd using discipline style where speed wasn’t his end all be all. Because of his freak athleticism Roy wasn’t always discipline with his mechanics and could countered out of place. Roy was successful against Toney because Toney wasn’t fast and very flat footed. It would be a great fight but with that said, I’m not picking any fighter LHW and under in their prime against Roy Jones..

    yes#

    Floyd is on a constant saline drip mixed with female hormones to mask the roids.
    Whilst Roy is on ripped fuel which he bought online.

    Probably end in a draw.

    If shrunken down to the same size PBF shatters that Glass Jaw. People forget Glass Jaw Roy has no Plan B in a fight and no Ring IQ. None. That is on top of his Glass Jaw.

    Mayweather was a Super Featherweight.

    Pacquaio on his debut weighed 106lb :scared1

    Prime Floyd would not be a good match for Floyd.....Doubt he could control a fight with a Prime Roy...
