Roy jones Jr hands down is far better than Floyd, you cant even argue this, Floyd has the potential to surpass him should he come back and step up and fight the bigger names in the sport, But as it stands now it doesnt look that way. however when have you seen Floyd put both his hands behind his back and knock a man out? Roy Jones Jr is always Floyds Daddy
god given ability= speed, reflexes, strength, height, vision, learned abilities= defense, technique, punching angles, ring smarts,
You think Roy didnt learn any of his skills? please that man has a long amateur background as well, the man paid his dues respect that Floyd is skilled yes but he isnt on the level that a peak Roy jones Jr was.
It isn't like Roy didn't bother to work on things like defense, technique and angles. Do you not understand that things like speed, reflexes and strength can be trained aswell? Roy has put most of his training into improving these. EDIT: @ Mexican Legend - Dude you really need to get out more if your making over 100 posts a day.
hah i do understand that but with or without training.... roy is naturally a better athlete than floyd
Ahh someone doesnt like it when its in return now you get me? Okay but seriously how do you figure Floyd is better than Jones Jr?
@ Walk With Me - Just a quick question. P4P taking into account resume, achievement, ability and H2H. Floyd or Jones Jr? Who's higher and where abouts would you place both?
"Fact, at 135 only Chavez, Duran and Pryor would stand a chance against him out of all the fighters in the last 40-50 years." I think you're forgetting about a little guy outta Pomona California by the name of Sugar Shane. If you don't think Mosely wouldn't have given him the fight of his life and possibly have beaten him at 135 you need to seek professional help. Mosely was one of the most dominant lightweights I've ever seen and his reign at 135 is highly underrated....come to think of it, a lightweight DLH would've or Sweet Pea would've had a damn good chance too.
if your asking me who had a better career... probably roy... if your asking me if they were the same size and fought who would win.. i would lean towards floyd in 12 rounds ... but thats just personally my opinion its hard to say since their not the same size but who's higher.... i honestly cant say im not going to sit here and act like i know more about boxing than i do... i dont know enough about roys career to say.... some people put floyd higher and others put roy higher so i dunno... im not going to front about it
