    No. I was implying that by-the-book-skills does not make you the best fighter. There are intangibles. Jones's style may not be the best technically but, it worked for him and it was highly effective. In his prime he dominated all his opponents including two greats in Hopkins and Toney. Mayweather didn't.

    jones was KO'd in succession, once by a fighter named Johnson who is a b- c+ talent at best... PBF is and has been far superior to Roy Jones who was on steroids... Roy has no infigting skills and reverts to clown and bafoon antics to make up for his degenerate skill.

    Mayweather isnt good enough to hold RJ's jockstrap. Roy Jones in his prime was Jesus with boxing gloves. Mayweather is Jesse Owens with boxing gloves.

    Then you only read what you choose to read. Have seen umpteen polls about Jones and he is ALWYS considered by a VAST majority of ESB to be an ATG, and by most to be the best fighter of his generation.

    Dogs I am a fan of both fighters.
    But prime 4 prime. Floyd would get killed lol. watch RJ be4 his knockout losses. That man was superman in a boxing ring. He was evrything a fan could ask for. He wooped ass and looked good doing it. As much as i like floyd as a fighter. He will never be an "entertaining" as RJ was. Hell no1 was really prolly in boxing history. PBF is good, but against a prime RJ, I dont see FLoyd winning to be honest

    I tried to stay away from the steroids thing, and point out both fighters and what they brought to the table. I picked Floyd still. Now we have to admit that it(Steroids) definately played a part in RJJ's perfomances in his prime! All I'm gonna say is....Can you imagine Floyd on Steroids!!
