Who was the best fighter in the last 10 years? Jones or Mayweather

2 tuff 2 call, i think that would be da perfect fight, alot of people would hate it cuz it would be too strategic...may-b prime Roy but right now P.B.F. no question.

Roy's superior prime for prime. In the last 10 years tho he declined and PBF got better.

Anybody but Calslappy.....

As others have said prime for prime its Roy but over the last decade definately Mayweather. Thats what I think. If it was the last 15 years I'd say Roy, but from 98 onwards then I have to pick Floyd.

Hard to say who was better. They both broke rules. Jones relied almost exclusively on his reflexes to bail him out, he didn't use a conventional jab and relied too on being quick enough to counter his opponents when they got offensive. He didn't master the fundamentals, or rather maybe he didn't chose to. Floyd is better at fundamentals. Strong jab, he can press the action in a more refined way than Jones. But at the end of the day what difference does that make? Jones' style always won the day, only faltered after he shed 25 some lbs of muscle when he fought Tarver down at 175 in 2003. So his technique never failed. But then again his opposition was poor. Frankly, it was poor. Besides Hopkins and Toney there's not a lot of lustre that can be harnessed from his opponents throughout the nineties and early 00's. Jones' beat James Toney left overs like old Mike McCallum and Reggie Johnson. He beat Toney in what was a superb performance, but questions will always linger about Toneys uncharacteristically lifeless, lackadaisical performance that night, the weight issues. In terms of handspeed, kind of unfair to compare since Floyd at 130 was probably one of the fastest ever, and therein 30 lbs lighter than Roy therefore obviously quicker. Like I say, on fundamentals Floyd was better. Roys defence is good in that he ties people up amazingly well, or he used to. He would use his reflexes to pull back from punches then when the fighter moved in he'd tie them up til the ref broke or til he shoved him off and unloaded two left hooks. Floyd is similarly excellent at tying opponents. And he has better glove defence, parrying etc. Two of a kind.

As others have said prime for prime its Roy but over the last decade definately Mayweather.

Prime RJJ was better fighter But overall it has to be Mayweather Another case of Calzaghe fans tying yp hype up Jones after Calzaghe beats a washed up Jones Are you fucking serious? I can't talk about my second favorite fighter on this board without "trying to hype up Calzaghe?" If I said Jones is complete shit and Calzaghe is going to KO him then you would say I'm overrating Calzaghe so how about you shut up bitch? This is for you :bottle:

Prime for prime Jones wins. but the better fighter of the last ten years should go to Mayweather.

In the last 10 years its gotta be mayweather. however prime for prime its roy all day.

Jones got KTFO by Tarver and Jones and looked like shit against Hanshaw. This is not even close.

Last 10 years, it's Mayweather for me, it's close though. Pound for pound in their primes, I would pick Jones to win.
