More otherworldly- Floyd @ 130 or Roy @ 160-168

Roy @160-175

 

Roy Jones at 160-168 for me. Roy was a bad dude in his prime.

 

Roy in his prime is hard for anyone to out-do.....

 

Roy in his prime was very special.

 

Anybody who answers Floyd must be a casual fan.

Prime Jones was a level above Floyd.

 

Good thread.

This is a tough decision...

 

Floyd was awesome at 130, but I have to go with Roy hands down

 

First time i seen Floyd at 130 against Jesus Chavez I thought he was the p4p1. So i'll go with Floyd.

 

Two ATG'S no doubt!!

Mayweather is my favourite out of the two, but Roy was sensational.

That knockdown when he had his hands behind his back ridiculous.

 

Roy easy. And that's no knock on Floyd. Roy in his prime is above everyone

 

Roy against someone like Brannon was more wow than any Floyd fight. Floyd was quicker on the trigger counnterpunching, but didn't have Roy's combination of hand speed, creative use of angles, and power. Floyd's speed and class against guys like Gerena or Carlos Rios was dazzling, but watching Roy in his prime was jaw-dropping in a way that Floyd never was.

 

Roy, and he proved it by going all the way up to heavyweight and winning a title.

 

I think Roy was possibly the most athletically gifted boxer of all time while Floyd is the most mentally gifted fighter of all time. When a fighter reaches the level of true greatness its impossible to compare them to another fighter who also reached that same level i'm terms of who was better. I believe there is a pinnacle point where a fighter simply dose everything possibly right. It may not happen in every fight or at every moment in every fight but some fighters in their prime just go into that zone and they are simply untouchable. Roy and floyd are just two fighters of many who went into that zone consistently at times in their career.
