    Sustained run? Who is he fighting at 154 again? When was the last time he even fought there?

    Roy wins at 168.. 160 would be a better weight for Leonard, but I still think Jones has the edge there.

    Super feather is Mayweather's best division but people want to act like the only portion of his career that counts when comparing him to other ATG, is the time he's spent in his 30's fighting at WW. Im just showing how unfair and nonsensical it is when applied to a fighter that people like.

    Its also a fact that 168 was far above the SRL's best weight.

    Hard for me to pick Jones in many H2H matchups because of his:

    Glass Jaw
    Having no Plan B in a fight

    21 pounds,what about Floyd 24pounds over?and 3/4 SRL biggest wins came at his best weightclass.and the other one 13pounds over.Floyd bestdays were at 130pounds and samejump as SRL did would equal 143pounds.

    And no need to reply,i know what your excuses are.

    And to be clear those SRL wins were amazing.but it's not Floyd fault that there were no ATG's at 130 pounds.

    And if want to be critical and think as Floyd haters.prime SRL dragged little bit past his prime LW to fight him,and even managed to lose.and against Hearns it's clear Hearns is drained to death.

    And Hagler was shot to ****(remember Floyd haters),Floyd stays always in prime.so same rules applied here to SRL.

    And also those were SRL personal judges.

    And don't be offended,SRL is One of the greatest and this is troll post.

    Ray was at his very best at 147. That was my point. But your point is clear to see... :roll::roll:

    The same Floyd, that although he has had bouts of inactivity, pale in comparison to Ray's? And Ray was beyond his prime by like 6-8 years when he was at SMW, Just like his opponents were.

    No ****. A prime Sugar Ray would have destroyed a 14 year old Roy Jones at Welterweight too. Why would you even try to compare a prime Roy at his natural weight to an older Sugar Ray moving up 2 or 3 divisions?

    My point exactly. Why do people try to compare an older Mayweather at 147 which is his 4th division, to prime SRL fighting at WW which is his natural weight?? That was the whole point of my thread for people who keep constantly trying to compare him at 147 to Leonards.

    168 was Leonards 4th weight class. WW is Mayweather's 4th weight class. Do you see the point im trying to make now. I agree its not fair to compare Leonard to RJJ at 168 because thats not Leonard's best weight. But People keep comparing Floyd to Leonard st 147, when 147 isn't Floyd's best weight either. 147 is far above Floyd's best weight.
