    Floyd. His is still going! Plus the level of competition Floyd has faced is better than RJJ

    PBF never faced and beat ATGs like Toney or Hopkins.

    I give props to Floyd, who I feel doesn't get enough credit for his pre-140 exploits, but I have to pick Roy here. If Floyd managed to go up to middleweight successfully, than I'd change my pick. :deal:thumbsup

    Isn't it safe to say that RJ's 3 best wins trumps any of PBF's best wins in Toney, Hopkins and Ruiz?

    Floyd's is more impressive, although both could be better. Tremendous skills, but both were too careful about who they fought.

    very safe to say that... PBF's best wins are in my opinion are Corrales, Hatton and De La Hoya. you could throw judah in there since judah was considered the best 147 lber at the time

    Jones - due mostly to the fact that floyd took retirement and still has to prove he's the best welter,, roy beat toney, hop and then ruiz at heavy ffs.. Not that floyd cant overtake roys legacy, but he still got some to prove

    I'm going to go with Floyd on this one. I never seened one fighter clean out a division so emphatically like Floyd did the 130 pound division.
