I based this post of another thread i recently posted on, and it brought light to this galent question now brewing.... At there peak or prime between
Roy Jones Jr a former MW,SMW,LHW and HW champ and former 5+yr P4P champ... and Floyd Mayweather SFW, LW,JWW,WW and LMW champ as well as the regining 3+yr an running P4P champ... At there run for this coveanant boxing hiarche or title (P4P) who was better, who impressed more, whose resume stood out who was up-un-til and after they captured the title (P4P) better for longer? Who do you like more? Who do you think fought better?

UMMM thats not right?! why didn't u put none as in option? LOL u pick the 2 fighters who only fight those they know they can beat.

Be honest. RJJ only fought against 3 fighters that weren't crap (b-hop, tarver, and toney). 4 if you count ruiz (screw ruiz). I can name more decent fighters PBF's fought off the top of my head (Judah, DLH, Castillo, Corrales. Baldomir and gatti, while not exactly A or even B level fighters, are still better than the crappy calibur of opposition that RJJ usually fought).

Thats not really true...people just have it made up in their minds that Roy faught Glen Kelly caliber fighter in every fight. While he did fight some bad competition(and I agree there are guys he should have faught that he didn't), he also faught some good competition such as...

-Clinton Woods
-Eric Harding
-David Telesco
-Reggie Johnson
-Lou Del Valle
-Virgil Hill
-Montell Griffin
-Mike McCallum
-Eric Lucas
-Merqui Sosa
-Thulani Malinga
-Vinny Pazienza

These guys are not bums, not in my opinion. Not the greatest fighters alive but not bums either. And you know what say what you will about John Ruiz, considering Roy Jones started his career as 154 pound fighter, its pretty amazing that he beat a heavyweight title holder. Ruiz was younger, bigger, stronger and had a longer reach. Many going into the fight thought Roy would get knocked out, they said hes too small. But then after Jones dominated it was well Ruiz ******. Just like how many picked Trinidad to beat Hopkins, then when Hopkins won Trinidad was just a blown up welterweight.

At this point, I'd give the slight edge to Roy, just because he was at the top longer.

If Floyd continues to fight and remain on top, then I'd say Mayweather.

he will if he fights hatton

Mosley and Cotto both have better chances than Hatton. Stop bringing up his name when he's at 140.

Roy fought way too many bums and never really fought the best.

[jack_the_rippuh]

Didn't fight Michaelczewski at LHW and didn't fight Lennox Lewis at HW.

***** man.

[unity768]

both guys never fought the fights they should have fought i dont like them that much

[Truth]

Didn't fight Michaelczewski at LHW and didn't fight Lennox Lewis at HW.

***** man.

If he faught Lewis at heavyweight he would have been murdered, possibly literally. I think its important to note that there were some fighters that Roy was willing to fight that didn't want to fight him. Frank Liles was offered a fight with Roy and declined it. Also Nigel Benn was offered a deal to fight Roy and turned it down, atleast according to this video.

Roy...

Floyd's Only Been Universally Recognized as the Best Since Roy got KO'ed by Tarver...

Roy was Either # 1 OR N the DISCUSSION for Being # 1 from 1993 UNTIL Tarver KO'ed him...What's that,10 YEARS???!!!...

Moreso,Roy Jones Probably has THE Most Underrated Resume EVER...

It's CHIC to Hate on Roy Jones these Days & Obviously,w/Floyd Running **** NOW,his Accomplishments R FRESHER N People's Memories,but Please DON'T Sleep on Roy Jones Jr...

N Terms of TALENT,Roy ****s on Floyd...N Terms of BREATHTAKING Performances,Roy ****S on Floyd...
