    :rofl Funny ****!

    This is close. From Middleweight to Heavy is insane, but Floyd has the deeper resume and longevity on his side. A failed drug test and Jones' post Tarver I career isn't doing Roy any favors.

    Right now I'd say Roy, but we'll see what Floyd does in these next couple of years.

    Well that argument can go for some of the fighters when they where getting up the ranks. But give some damn respect to the WORLD CHAMPIONS that they fought.

    If you are a world champion you aint no bum or B level opponent.

    This is the most pathetic post of the day!:good

    Ducked prime Hopkins, you have to be shitting me.. all Hopkins had to do was take 60-40 to get his ass kicked. Which was completely fair at the time and circumstances... Hopkins wanted none.

    And Toney had a padded record?! nah.. that doesn't deserve a response.:-(

    What does this video prove?

    Out of the 4 fighters HBO showed in this video, Roy went on to beat 2 of them in his very next 2 fights... Hopkins wouldn't take 60-40 to get his ass kicked.. That just leaves DM..

    Oh and retired Collins:lol:, who wasn't ranked at SMW or LHW.. Hbo didn't want that fight then. Roy would have just got bashed by people like you for fighting retired old men had he taken that fight.

    Getting lopsided.

    Prime Roy is still very influential, even after all of the KO losses.

    Floyd still has time to pass Roy though... But the window is slowly closing, he isn't getting any younger.

    Jones Jr.

    top 10 lhw. One of the best 3 boxers in history.

    Given 24 hours weigh in theres not one man below 175 I favour to beat him.

    Very underrated resume.

    You dumb ****ing ****.

    How can you compare what Ali done before he lost with when Roy Jones got KTFO. Ali had a GOAT careeer and resume. He fought em all and beat em all, they were also ATG heavyweights and he made them look silly. His opposition was far greater than Roy Jones aswell. He also lost his last 2 fights against great fighters.

    Whereas Roy fought taxi drivers and beat Ruiz, Hopkins and Toney along the way. Then he got his ass laid out by Tarver and ain't been the same. What's he done for the last 10 years besides getting embarrassed and knocked out by the likes of Lebedev and Green. Now he's racked up 8 losses and has damaged his career. But dickheads like you only wanna talk about his great years. But his career didn't span over 10 years it's over 23 and he should be judged on his whole career.

    Floyd is still unbeaten mother****er. Trying to back up your post by mentioning Ali is a coward's move and it backfired as you didn't make no sense because you're a bull**** poster. Now GTFO mother****er.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr gets my vote, no he didnt fight Pacquiao but he hasnt tested positive for steriods or whatever it was and hasnt suffered one of the biggest falls from grace i have ever seen in the sport. Floyd has proven that he has more than just physical gifts and can get by with superior skill, love watching prime Roy but as soon as his reflexes lost that slight edge he was ****ed, this imo makes him pretty damn flawed. People get carried away with the Ruiz victory, he wasnt some monster heavyweight with massive power and blistering speed. Ruiz was a guy who got by on spoiling and messing up his opponents rythem, what better guy to beat him than Roy Jones Jr a guy who can stay on his toes and outspeed him from a safe distance. It a good victory but Ruiz was hardly as dangerous as a Tua or a Lewis. Roy is great dont get me wrong but Floyd was special and has proved to have more substance than pysical gifts alone.

    Oh yeah Roy tested positive aswell. Since Lamont Peterson got tested positive no one has said anything positive about him on ESB since. Hypocritical!

    Roy is the most overrated boxer on ESB.
