    Roy is a middleweight and he is faster than Floyd. He also hits harder than Floyd. Floyd is definitely the stronger fighter but Roy was never really thrown about. Roy may have the edge in reflexes but he doesn't have the better defence.

    Roys speed and power, coupled with his speed to power ratio is just wrong. Floyd is fast but if he wants to put heat on his shots he needs to slow down his shots to load up a little more.

    Roy was a bona fide puncher at 160 and 168. He could straight crack. P4P and even normally he may be the fastest man ever. However because Roy is THAT talented he was never AS polished as less talented fighters.

    RJJ hands down probably the most physically talented boxer in history.
