    One of the best 130 fighters of all time at 154 against a natural middleweight arguably one of the GOAT H2H who would have only have to drop 6 pounds? Not even a contest

    Roy Jones 9 times out of 10, too big for Floyd. Especially with the speed he has!

    floyd at 154 does not fight natural 154 pound guys...he will and has only fought 2 times and one was that persons 5th weight division too and the other being cotto will be in his 4th
    floyd would get his skull cracked but its an unfair comparison to floyd ...
    that would be like saying
    "how would roy jones the heavywieght fair against mike tyson"?

    The question is Pacman vs Ward.

    Make it happen.

    I guess a good fight since both fighters always picked fights they knew they was going to win, until Jones met Taver for the second time after that it was down hill, like Mayweather is about to taste defeat for the first time...

    I'm just saying the bigger veteran Mayweather who's smart and still fast taking on roy jones at 154. Hell Ortiz weighed 164 Mayweather took all his punches and kept coming. Although roy is more accurate and faster than Ortiz I wouldve love to see Mayweather defensive offensive strategy to break Roy down. Love him or hate him Mayweather has a defensive style that irritates people. Even though the fight with montell griffith was at super middle weight he's not tall or big but in the first fight he gave roy jones all kinds of problems until that bogus illegal blow by roy jones which montell fake like he couldn't continue like andre direll against authur abraham

    Floud would definitely handle Roy's speed. Floyd probably has the highest ring IQ of any boxer in history. You can't beat a genius like floyd with just speed. You have to outsmart him. Mayweather would win just on points.

    Jones is so unpredictable in his prime, weird angles great movement, i think he is one of the only guys out there that would be just to quick for floyd would be able to get through floyds great defense with quick sharp weird angle shots and is imo 2 stepts quicker than anyone floyd has faced., floyd would never let this fight happen though ever ever. Jones by mid round tko. The only chance I give floyd, is to catch jones while coming in exposing that weak chin, floyd is quick enough to expose jones. But I dont think it happens.
