Best fighter of the past 15 years Jones or Mayweather?

[Allucard]

You should have set up a poll.

I'd probably say RJJ.

Jones was/is more popular and more spectacular but i think Mayweather's defense is allot better than Jones ever was. Even in his prime he slept punches very well but that's not the best way to defend because you are not throwing punches while you are slipping punches (for 80% of the movement at least). Mayweather also had allot of power in his weight class. I'd call it a tie for the respect i have for both fighters.

Jones didnt need to rely on defense like Mayweather.

you're on of the ones making exuses and not posting anything logical really to back up the excuses. tarver landed a so called lucky shot that jones went down from and didn't get up to beat the count from. the shot also made jones back up a lot in their third fight. johnson made jones look dead.

floyd's resume vs roy's resume is hard to compare really when determining who fought better competition when people are too stuck on claiming who they've ducked.

now you claimed floyd did enough to win in his toughest fights, but he still won. while, roy was knocked out in his toughest fights. what's that saying. that's not taking away from his talent at all, but it does play a role in comparing these 2.

you can have your opinion on what roy did better than floyd in as far as skillset goes, but that's just ypur opinion, imo, floyd's skillset was much more polished and well rounded than roy's, and many people will agree that he was more fluent with his punches and was better defensively and fought better off of the ropes, etc. i could go on forever. his jab was a hell of a lot better than roy's was.

i dont even know why there is an argument for this. prime to prime evryone knows Jones wins fair and square, jus coz floyd was better than Jones at SOME things doesnt make him better than Jones...

haha RJ didnt need a jab...
