    I appreciate both Roy and Floyd .

    Roy was more dazzling with a greater reliance on speed of both Hand and feet, while barely throwing a jab throughout his entire career.

    Where as Floyd throws the smoothest punches , glides round the ring and at times is unhitable.

    I go for Roy , there were times when he almost Superman , making very good fighters look very average.

    It might be true that they fought some below par opponents , but their talents will be remembered.

    Jones easily. He had Hopkins, Toney and had pretty much cleaned out 175 with the exception of DM.

    Also, with a few exceptions, he fought bigger and better men than Floyd on his way up in weight.

    With the exception of Toney, Jones never really did **** **** by age 32. Yeah 175 was weak, but he never fought the other top dog, DM. Sorry, but Mayweather has wins over Corrales, Castillo, Judah and ODLH.

    Mayweather's resume is much, much deeper than Jones.

    Never did ****.

    He had
    Beaten
    B-Hop with Ease
    Toney with Ease
    McCallum with Ease

    By 32 he had 19 World Title fights winning 18 and getting DQ'd by a stupid Ref in the other.

    From 160 to 168 to 175 beating guys like Otis Grant, Virgil Hill, Eric Harding , B-Hop, Toney, Mike McCallum, Montel Griffin Just to name a few.

    Now im not saying Jones Jr resume is better than PBF's. I feel PBF has a better resume to age 32 but its not because of skill.

    I feel its because the wasnt that great of Comp for Jones. But from those age's if he had better comp im saying he would have whooped them all.

    He was a fast slick beast from 92 to 2001.
