    what do you guys think roy jones jr would have done in terms of p4p matchups. say you take any of floyds oppenetts in terms of style, was there anyone that floyd faced that would beat roy jones personally i think roy would destroy anyone of them.

    Well...they fought in different weight classes so all of these guys were smaller than Jones.

    Prime Jones would KO most of the fighters Floyd faced easily.

    A prime Jones blows them out the water !! The only guy that would have give Jones problem would have been Sr. As them two would be involved in a rap battle !

    I don't think that there is fighter that has ever came along that can handle a prime Roy Jones. Hell if Jones wouldn't have taking the weight off in such a stupid way he would still be pound for pound king. I don't care who you are. You can't take off 20+pounds of muscle. Perfect example: David Reid was a pretty good fighter but he didn't have much fat at all on his body so every time he trained all he did was burn muscle which all you do is drain your energy/stamina.

    Roy beats all of them. When looking back on it, Roy was out of this world

    Hopefully he'll pack it in now. It's so sad that a great like him has been reduced to what he is now. After the first Tarver fight, he really should have ended it there. The more he fought, the more he urinated on his legacy.

    What a shame :verysad

    I dont think you can make a valid comparison between the two resumes. To the best of my knowledge the only person that floyd fought that had fought above 154 was oscar and he was no MW. Floyd never fought above 154 which is too big for him anyway. Roy was a good sized MW with great skills he should be able to beat LW, JW,WW, JM fighters.

    Jones was fighter, Floyd is boxer.

    Floyd is scoring easy but unimpressive UD's
    while Jones would score easy KOs.

    Ill tell you one thing, youd never see roy get completely blasted and hurt the way mayweather was and then come back the same round to be the one pressing forward.

    Mayweather is a superior fighter in all aspects but raw physical talent (speed/power), to jones... imo.

    Why is getting hurt by an over the hill soon to be 39 yr old fighter a good accomplishment? Roy was weight drained when he won the first fight with Tarver who came at him very hard. roy fights scared now BUT before he was shot and got KTFO, he wasn't like that.

    i dont understand people act like roy couldnt box and that he was just athletic. i mean what is pure boxing hit and not get hit and jones did that better than anyone
