P4p roy jones or floyd mayweather

Jones, not even close.

 

I don't think anyone would argue that Floyd has better technique, but thats not the question. In his prime RJJ was as close to unbeatable as I have ever seen. He gets a hard time on this board from the younger people who maybe only saw him from 03 on.

It's like when I was a kid and watched boxing with my old man. I always loved the younger guys, but he would tell me about all these old fighters and what they were in their primes. I always thought he was full of **** because I only saw them when they were over the hill.

 

Exactly. Roy is a H2H nightmare for almost any fighter in history from 160-175.

 

so 18-4 for Jones.

Roy Jones would have "one" this

 

Jones and anyone who thinks otherwise has NO CASE. Jones is better in almost every department in athletic terms and a much better boxer. He's even more proven, and Jones gets knocked because of his record. RJJ is a H2H king from 160-175; Mayweather is nowhere near that anywhere other than 130. No contest.

 

Another Vote for Jones. A spectacular fighter in his prime.

 

Hopkins wasn't in his prime.

 

Jones.

Would have been handy if this was a poll....

 

both great talents but i've got to lean towards floyd because floyd has a chin and can adapt to a plan B when he needs to.

 

Yeah, because they're so evenly matched in other departments? atsch

 

they are 2 huge advantages for floyd, especially when the going gets tough for a fighter.

 

Jones

 

Roy Jones. No question.

There's got to be at least 20 places between them on an ATG list.

 

I agree. But if you look at both fighters three best wins Roy wins easily
