Roy jones started at 154. If he was there in his prime and fought Floyd. How do you..

Stupid question. Roy could never have made 154 in his prime first of all. More imortantly its downright unfair to take a weightclass one fighter wad huge at, too big to fight at in his prime only to pit him against a guy who doesnt belong at the weight because hes too small. If you were to compare floyd to a 154lb RJJ it would have to be a p4p comparison to floyd at 130. You cant give roy the advantage of youth being able to be huge at the weight while maintaining the experience he got with age and take away floyds only advantage of making weight comfortably and pretend its a fair or even reasonable matchup. He's basically asking who would win, the best version of Roy Jones Jr vs the worst version of Floyd Mayweather Jr lol.

Floyd is a top 15 ATG. Roy Jones is like......top 50. With that being said RJJ is THE GREATEST BOXER TO EVER LACE ON A PAIR OF GLOVES. He beats anyone that ever existed in his prime. Anyone. Ever.

If it was at an open weight RJJ and May in their primes I think Roy would have won by KO.

Lets not forget, RJJ had a LOT of power in his hands at 154 and 160

RJJ would win. Just as fast but more power

Roy by death, murder, kill This guy said it best, Roy by death! I always say Vernon Forrest would have stopped Floyd as well. Forrest operated beautifully behind his jab and Roy well Roy would have just punished him all together. I still cringe when I replay the Montell Griffith rematch. If Floyd fought in the era of Duran and Leonard he likely would have stayed at lightweight and maybe been one of the best defensive lightweights of that era. Back then that was the "No Where to Hide Era"

I just think roy is a way better P4P head to head fighter in his prime. um.....NO. and Im a huge Roy fan

Rjj was too fast. Hed be able to tag Floyd.

Wherever in the universe it could happen......I'd bet 20 year old Roy at 154 could beat 35 year old Floyd at 154.

I just think roy is a way better P4P head to head fighter in his prime.

Why not? neither guy were prime at 154. Not even close Neither was but May did win a title at the weight and his experience applies...from a skill, speed, and curiosity standpoint I would be intrigued to see to greats. Roy wasn't near his prime and that would negate some advantages per size....in very intrigued....you don't even wanna know other fights that intrigue me

Roy at 154 was a MONSTER, Mayweather is WAY too small to even consider it being competitive. Roy was faster, bigger and way stronger and so unorthodox and unpredictable Mayweather would not have any advantage at all and would not be able to time Roy, and the first time Roy connected its goodnight

Why not? I'm a fight fan and Roy started at 154. Im sure you have seen his Olympic fights...pretty much fought the same and had insane ability and pedigree Why not? neither guy were prime at 154. Not even close

Roy never really fought at 154. Not at the world class level anyways. Why eben bring this up? Why not? I'm a fight fan and Roy started at 154. Im sure you have seen his Olympic fights...pretty much fought the same and had insane ability and pedigree

No comparison there. RJ made his fights exciting to fans and not to knucleheads.

Another "what if" vs Floyd thread. This guy must be the king of current boxing because people can't keep him of their minds. He is and he just fought
