    His style relied A LOT on his athleticism and roids obviously help with that.

    Which Floyd are we talking about here? The 130/135 Floyd would be a really good fight I'd imagine if they were the same size, but the Floyd nowadays doesn't really stand much of a chance.

    prime for prime roy wins.

    judah almost an well in shape floyd.

    imagine what somebody faster, more athletic and better conditioned would do to him.

    jones simply would pick floyds body apart, when floyd would hide under his defence. also floyd would have big problems dealing with somebody who has superior reflexes than him. I simply dont see floyd punching roy enough to win 7 rounds and win by UD. prime roy was rarely getting hit, floyd himself gets rarely hit, but roy was in a class of its own when it meant to avoid getting punched.

    No he would get knocked out. Jones fought nobody that was the level of PBF.

    Only way Roy wins is because of his size, and power, and un matched speed, how much of that was attributed roids, and would his skills and have continued to show if he had continued to fight solid opposition.

    Could Roy Penetrate the GOAT defensive fighter??????????????????????

    You never know, which is why these vs threads are foolish, especially considering Roy prime weight was at 168-175 and Floyds was 130-140

    Roy spent 80% fighting nobodies, how could you say definitively that he easily beat Floyd, when Floyd proven himself over and over on the biggest stage

    Prime for prime in a hypothetical fight where Floyd and Roy are the same size... Roy destroys Floyd. Roy would be faster and stronger and his unorthodox style would have troubled Floyd. Floyd has never fought a guy like Roy and his defense is suited to handle orthodox fighters. Roy's athleticism, speed, power and unorthodox style would've been to tough for Floyd to adapt to.

    While Roy looked amazing,his opponents for the most part were lower tier fighters.Didn't look so slick when he beat B-Hop.I think Floyd would land a lot with his precision,timing and speed.Roy relied a lot on being a superior athlete but Floyd would be on his level there.On the other hand Floyd has great boxing skill and fundementals,where as once Roy's reflexes went,he was ****ed!
    Roy himself told a story that Ali once called to watch him train and did some friendly sparring.Ali smiled and showed him a weakness with Roys jab,but Roy said it didn't matter cos he was too fast.I see Floyd finding these faults and making him pay.
    Obviously only basing this on their skill sets and if they were the same size.Roy is a lot bigger than Floyd!
