    All Time Great?

    "When you say Sugar Ray Leonard, you think Pretty Boy Mayweather" this was said by PBF

    In the past years, only one boxers come to mind as the greatest we have had(of this time), I know I might get a lot of people talking lip, but I say Roy Jones Jr.

    Before the Tarver fight, think back to his past, when do you really remember him coming close to loosing a fight, even a round?

    I look at Mayweather and I feel that p4p wise, him and Jones arent even close, similar but not close, please give your input

    I agree. RJJ has accomplished more, though less weight classes. Mayweather "NEEDS" to fight....

    1. Hatton
    2. Cotto
    3. Williams (in 2 years)
    4. Margarito

    should he convincingly defeat all.....Pretty Bod is an ALL TIME GREAT!

      Yes, I feel that PBF can beat these guys if he wants to, but I dont know why he wont face them, not Margarito I think is too slow to do anything, but even facing Josh Colttey might be good for him,

        Roy beat two great fighters, a few above average guys and a whole lot of nobodies. He gets a little more respect for moving to HW, but he beat a guy who was tailor-made for him. No doubt he was great, but how did he accomplish more?

            i used to hate Roy, now i love that s.o.b, hes done it all, hes up their, their is one guy i would put ahead of Roy alone though, B-Hopkins, seeing he has no real boxing history and accomplishing all he has, he even massacred Tarver, one thing Roy coldnt do,

                I have always felt that Jones Jr was hyped to the bone.Yes he has skills but this guy avoided some pretty nice fighters during his time.I agreed about Mayweather fighting more A and B fighters.I would love to see a fight against Cotto, if Cotto beats Judah.

                  i would have loved to see him with Hatton, Cotto, Tsyzu, Margarito, Mosley, Casamayor, The real Jesus Chavez when they were in the same weight class, I would have also loved to see him when he was at 130 vs J.M Marquez, Morales, Barrera, and hell, id even like to see Floyd whup on Hamed but he skipped so much fighters as he moved up

                    Pound for pound in their prime, RJJ is far better than PBF!
