Reign As Pound for Pound

In terms of knockouts and pure entertainment value, yes. In terms of opponents faced, it's Floyd by a mile. Don't treat me like a fool. floyd does have a great and better resume than roy, but that was before floyd was considered the p4p #1. hopkins was the man when floyd was at 130-135. that was when floyd took on tough challengers back to back. it wasn't until he beat gatti and hopkins lost to taylor that floyd moved up to #1 and he stopped facing the best when he moved up to 147. floyd was the better fighter and resume in his overall career, but the better p4p reign belongs to roy.

as a huge floyd fan, i have to say roy had the better reign. he was unstoppable. roy can't be touched, bwahahahah! the difference is fighters are afraid of getting embarrassed by floyd. with roy, people are afraid of getting embarrassed and knocked the hell out at the same time. pac, whitaker, and hopkins also had the better p4p reigns as well.

lol RJJ was p4p numero uno for a decade Floyd was like few months untill Pacquiao KO d Morales twice.

Roy could only dream of having Floyd's resume. ........................ Roy's reign was indisputably better than what Floyd has done as p4p #1. Roy made bums out of a lot of good fighters.

Roy took chances,floyd wouldnt even dream of doing that

Sweet Jesus, .....Mike McCallum, Reggie Johnson, Julio Gonzalez, Clinton Woods, Lou DelValle, John Ruiz, Antonio Tarver. These arent names. Obviously, people hate on Roy, and for good reason, he was great. But, people give credit to Tarver for beating Reggie Johnson, Montell Griffin, and Clinton Woods, but not to Roy? Who has Hopkins beat besides Trinidad, DeLaHoya, Tarver thats worth mentioning? How about DeLaHoya? Derrick Harmon was a good fighter, as was Vinny Pazienza. People always look for a reason to discredit somebody. All the guys Roy fought were world champions or would have become ones after the fact. Not trying to hear that. People give credit to Hopkins for beating Carl Daniels? People call DeLaHoya an all time great for losing all his big fights with the exception of the Vargas fight? Cmon now. Everyone argues against Roy when the same exact argument can be made for 75 percent of the fighters we call great. And, their lists do not have the same of amount of champions fought like Roy.

Nah, no one's p4p reign was as long, or dominant as Roy Jones Jr's. Thats why he is an all time great, perhaps the greatest athlete to ever lace up the gloves. Though he did make technical errors that cost him once his athleticism faded, he knows the sport inside and out and was a pure artist in his prime. He was untouchable, and that is something no p4p has ever done, none of em
