    His father held him back and even hid title fight opportunities from him.

    He signed with HBO when he split from his father in 1992.

    Floyd could have done so much more, like unifying at 130, 135 or 140. He could have fought Leonard Dorin in a unification fight at LW.

    Stop being silly and ignorant.

    Look at the speed, style and skills.

    It’s the same fighter who fought Jorge Castro the following year.

    Jorge Castro was tough, who went on to have great fights with David-Jackson and Reggie Johnson not long afterwards.

    So you logically use the Castro fight as a gauge.

    The versions of Floyd who fought Oscar and Canelo, wasn’t beating the version of Roy who beat Jorge Castro.

    You're admitting defeat here.

    What exactly are you laughing at?

    You always try to debate on statistics instead of applying logic and looking at actual footage.

    The landscape has changed.

    If Roy was prime now, with today’s world of social media, everyone would know of him.

    Roy only officially fought at JMW 2-3 times.

    In the times that he did, he’d have beaten Floyd, despite him not being as experienced. Because he had the skills, size, speed, height, reach and power etc.

    Your argument seems to be that Roy wouldn’t have beaten him because he hadn’t beaten anyone of note. It doesn’t matter.

    Bernard Hopkins hadn’t beaten anyone of note before he fought Roy in 1993. But we can see by viewing the fight how good Hopkins was.

    But the only division Jones ever unified was when he picked up a bunch of paper belts after Michalczewski was stripped, and he never actually fought Michalczewski.

    Notice how all I've done there is state a simple fact, yet the Jones defence brigade will arrive in

    No.

    You can’t refute what we’ve said, so you’ve just given an easy default answer.
