The only thing Floyd had that Roy doesn't is longevity.
But Roy was still world champion and practically undefeated for 10 years. That's not too bad longevity.
In my eyes you can't go wrong with any of these 3. They're certainly 3 of the "best" of my lifetime.

What might make me give the edge to Floyd is that he did adapt his style to his later years, but I don't know.
As you say. You can't go wrong. Even thinking about these guys fighting is a pleasure!

Sweet Pea........
Sweet Pea was better than Floyd and Roy Jones. HE is a top 5, top 10 ATG, hands down. He is also the greatest defensive fighter of all-time. He didn't actually lose a fight until he was OLD and 33 years of age, against a PRIME Tito Trinidad. I also thought he edged out Oscar with the legit knock down in the 8th round. His experience also played a factor against Oscar. I already know what the majority of you on here will say but I don't care. One thing I hate about Americans is how they get off on HYPE and FLASH. They believe that quantity is worth more than quality. Smh. Roy and Floyd are both overrated and were protected for a long period of time. Roy did a lot of ducking and we all know what Floyd did. And now his entire career is in question with his failed drug tests and IV usage. I'll take Pea over either any day of any week. The end.

It is hard to not notice that Pea lacks the longevity the other two have had, and that it is his fault.
