ROY JONES@168 and FLOYD @130 were the best weve seen the past 15 years!

    Was just watching Floyd at 130...unbeatable...so fast and fluid.


    Roy @ 168 was stunning ...just watched him vs Malinga after Malinga bashed up Benn.


    amazing Roy was basically unbeaten in 51 fights until he was 35.


    FLoyd will be 32 when he comes back will be interesting to see how he ages also.

    Greats like Leanord Hagler Hearns were on the slide after 32....a real sshame some fans go overboard when slagging of these two superb athletes.

    I like to remember them when they were special...We have a long period to remember Jones P4P for a decade. Floyd half a decade..

    You are 100% correct my friend. Those two were the best almost anyone has seen. I'm not sure anyone in history would beat Roy at 168.

    honestly and truthfully not followed boxing from pre 1992

    saw the UK TV fights Benn eubank

    some Bow Holyfield missed alot mikey moorer....blame that on poor terristrial covering of international events. Why else do you think benn and Eubank are such huge stars over here.

    Its like a Goldfish bowl...brits only know about their own...why else do you think Frank Warren can make so much money? lol....loook at Calzaghes career.

    DLH was better than Mayweather at 130 pounds.

    didnt Oscar get put down @ 130 lbs....

    I agree De La Hoyas best performance was vs Genaro Hernandez Ko in 2

    but Floyd faced better opposition over a period of time...

    its similar to Calzaghe Jones.....@ super middle.

    Calzaghe accomplished the most.

    But Jones faced a better fighter and was the best fighter to ever fight @ 168

    Genaro Hernandez knocked down Mayweather once but the referee did
    not count it as so.

    De la Hoya had 2 fights in his career where he weighed in at the super feather weight limit, 2 fights when he was weighed drained and still pretty green whereas mayweather was probably the best ever at 130. Have you seen de la hoya fight at 130? And floyd at 130 was better than dela hoya was at any weight, how much have you seen of mayweather at 130 he was brilliant there
