Best P4P: Roy Jones Jr vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[C.Y.]

if they were both naturally the same size and or weight then i would have to give the slight edge to floyd based on fighting skill and intelligence
it would be a very close fight but i think floyd would be able to counter what roy would throw at him and in the end would outbox and outsmart roy
roy would have the hand speed advantage and he is an overall beast
the fight is pretty much a toss up
and it could easily go roy's way as well

Jones Jr.. Even biased floyd fan boyz should know this.

i also have both careers on dvd, and i disagree with you...

your sincerely thinking that floyd cant be hit EVER... and your wrong.. he can... ill simply say this...

if oscar can hit floyd in the face with his jab...

then roy will really have no problem hitting floyd either... hes gonna throw a 6 punch combination... roys hands in his prime are faster then how fast mayweather can move.. but its EXTREMELY close... but floyd can be hit.... just not by arturro gatti

i never claimed that floyd cannot be hit, but roy's left hook can be blocked, that's for sure, especially by a master blocker like floyd. oscar's jab did land on floyd, so what? roy has been hit with jabs also. what does that mean really? any fighter can be hit, but i was just explaining roy's left hook not landing much on floyd.

and what do you mean that roy's hands in his prime are faster than how fast floyd can move? roy's hands were fast in his prime and many fighters who fought floyd had faster hands than he could move, but what does that have to do with how floyd blocks punches? floyd can stand in the pocket and block punches very well as well as counter to the body well, which roy didn't do very well, floyd has. you see, claiming if oscar can land a jab on floyd is one thing that i already know, because he timed it great. but, fighters like emanuel agaustus also land jabs against floyd. judah landed jabs against floyd. corley landed jabs against floyd. so what. this means nothing when discussing how effective floyd blocks left hooks. roy was hit by pazenza, griffen, toney and others. all i was implying was that floyd would block many of roy's left hooks, and i'm basing my argument on watching how roy threw them.

so really what your saying is, roy only has a left hook? i mean ok floyd blocks roys hook, great , grand... i think hes a got just a couple more punches in the bag... and my point of oscar hitting floyd was.. if oscars speed can get to floyd, then roy would have no problem AT ALL getting to floyd... you need speed and accuracy to hit floyd when he goes into his defensive shell in order to hit him.. all of which none of his opponents have had enough to get to floyd... but roy has the speed and accuracy in his prime to catch up with floyd... your gonna have to block more than a left hook to beat roy... its obviously all speculation we ll be here for the rest of our lives going back and forth... because both in there primes .. are absolutely ridiculous

Roy Jones is the most phenomenal boxer to ever grace the squared circle. It's just unfortunate that his talent superceded all others and there is not too many great fighters in his weight division to prove himself. I'm not talking about the current Roy so don't go sayin oh he lost to Tarver and Johnson...nobody could beat Roy in his prime. He made too many people look foolish and slow. His combination of speed and power was unheard of period.

[slicksouthpaw16]

Floyd was the better pure boxer and more technically sound. But i think Roy would just be too big and overwelming. Roy by close decision.

[steptwome]

Roy is definitely too big for floyd.

[guzi815]

Roy Jones Jr. was definately more exciting to watch.

whats funny is his last fight with hanshaw... who nobody really knew.. and at 38 1/2 was still more exciting and funny then floyd and oscar... hes still making highlight reels this late in his game
