    Probably look like Roy Vs Toney



    No disrespect to Floyd...he was great.. especially as people mentioned at superfeather he was a monster...you can tell who the casuals are soon as someone pops up and says "Floyd just used to run" lol

    but yeah...won't catch me picking many over roy

    I Agree, I give Mayweather some stick here and there but he was a dangerous man at that weight.

    Mayweather is better all around than Roy, lets be honest. Roy might take it though

    If you think Floyd vs Pac and Roy vs Hopkins II were hard to make imagine what would take for these guys to come to an agreement.

    This would never happen.

    Floyd is more technically sound than Roy who relied on reflexes and physical gifts. If Floyd can't adjust he loses wide UD.

    Floyd's athleticism was nowhere near RJJ's.

    Roy would beat him. I think a lightweight Mosely would beat him also.

    140-147 version of Floyd beats any version of him. Floyd might not be a big puncher but the thing is with Roid you don't need to be able to punch you just need to be accurate because he just cannot take any type of pop on the whiskers at all because his chin is made out of chicken bone. The only reason he wasn't brutally KO'd even more than he was is because he was too fast and elusive for most of his opponents. However, that wouldn't be the case against Floyd who not only possesses laser-like accuracy and surgical precision but is much faster than Roid.

    Floyd was better than Roy and was too hard to hit, it would have been a really boring, cagey fight, Roy simply relied on speed but Mayweather understood positioning, he would have beaten Ray Leonard for the same reason.

    Ray wouldn't have boxed Floyd. He'd have fought him.

    I don't see how Floyd would have beaten Ray at WW or JMW.

    RJJ is a stylistic nightmare for PBF and would have beaten him if they were the same size.

    Yes, Pacquiao would be slower, just look at all of fights at the lower weights 122 16
    Just look at Pacquiao fights in the lower weights 122,126 and 130 he was super fast, as soon as he started moving up in weight he got slower that's the reason Marquez had a easier time with Pacquiao at the higher weights.

    If the Queen had testicles, would she not be the King? What if she identifies as a man, can she be the King today? So many questions and scenarios to consider.

    Did Floyd start his career at Featherweight or Super Featherweight? I think Pacquiao started at Junior Flyweight (108 lbs), right?
