    Jones started his career at 154.
    Floyd won a 154 belt against Canelo.

    Would Floyd have any chance against 154 Roy?

    I personally don't think Floyd could handle Roy's speed and power... Roy was very green though, and Floyd was past prime vs. Canelo.

    When they stole my gold medal in Seoul, Korea
    Let's look back at my whole career
    Cuz y'all musta forgot! ....
    The "best pound for pound" is mine
    Hit Percy Harris with four hooks at one time
    Y'all musta forgot! ....
    When I beat Bernard Hopkins, and won the IBF
    The right was hurt, beat him with the left
    Y'all musta forgot! ....
    You remember the left hook that James Toney got
    Sucka move that I stole from a game****
    Y'all musta forgot! ....
    Will there be another Roy Jones? Probably not
    Stopped Virgil Hill with a body shot
    See y'all musta forgot! ....
    I got disqualified in March of '97
    After givin a whippin to Montell Griffin
    Late hit - my title; they had to take it
    Why? I guess that's the only way I could lose
    Five months later; rematch, I needs my crown
    First round, one punch and he sat down
    Don't get me mad cuz I'm amped already
    Took titles from fighters who was champs already
    The heart and soul of boxing on HBO
    What these other fighters take me fo? A joke?
    Ah y'all musta forgot! ....
    And they got the nerve to say I ain't fight nobody
    I just make 'em look like nobody
    Y'all musta forgot! ....
    And David Telasco, he really asked for it
    So I beat him with a fractured wrist
    See y'all musta forgot! .... (remember that...)
    In the ring I BOX, there is none higher
    When I use these, they call me sire
    To earn my kindom, I must use fire
    and I won't stop boxing till I retire, I'm Roy...
    Y'all musta forgot! .... Y'all musta forgot!
    When I beat Reggie Johnson,
    and took his light heavyweight title from him
    See y'all musta forgot! That I'm nice with these
    Y'all musta forgot! This is what I do
    Y'all musta forgot!
    We could go on and on, Mike McCallum, Vinnie Pazienza
    See y'all musta forgot! .... Y'all musta forgot!
    Y'all musta forgot! ......



    Floyd wouldn't stand a chance.:deal

    Both would have cherry picked weaker opponents than each other. Fight would have never been made.

    Hopkins is his only good win. And it was a non-seasoned Hopkins.

    Toney was undoubtedly better above middleweight and it was probably his worst weight.

    Don't make me laugh. Roy Jones is just a highlight reel with a fee good wins. Looking past toney and Hopkins he faced a bunch of nobodies and defended his "titles" , not championships, against guys who youbcant even find using Google.

    Floyd would kill him.

    Pernell would have given Mayweather a beating.

    Well...what about Floyd?

    Pac's best weight was 126 or 130
    Marquez - 130 or 135
    Oscar was clearly past it.
    Mosley old and shot
    Canelo (like B Hop) - too green
    Cotto (like Toney vs Jones, but Toney was better)

    Others B or C level opponents.

    It's now got to the point where I genuinely don't know when people are trolling or not.

    What's really funny is, when people accuse Roy of ducking Michalczewski, they somehow fail to mention Dariusz was the one who held the hometown WBO title for most of his career and feasted on the other's victims :lol:
