Best fighter of the past 15 years Jones or Mayweather?

[hishaam15]

and you know this how? i can't wait for your response.

lol, which fighter have you seen stay undefeated up till 40?

[GTL]

C'mon.
Roy Jones by far.. He demolished his opponents.
Like some1 said earlier he had NO close fights in his prime.
As for adaptability, he was always dominant so he really didn't have to..

Lets be ****in honest, he got KO'ed 2ce back to back.. The Tarver punch was a lucky shot.. That does NOT diminish him as a fighter..

He was just a freak.
Power, speed, athleticism, footwork, ring generalship was just better than PBF..

His style is unorthodox but it worked for him.
------------

Floyd has been in some close fights.
He didn't dominate like Roy did..
He would do just enough to win..

Look at Floyds biggest fights..
DLH (old), Castillo.. (im negating corrales b/c it doesnt help my arguement)

Now Roy

Toney (#1 p4p) who he dominated with ease, hopkins (boring but easy win), Glen Kelly, Griffin (2nd fight)..

Roy was the better fighter and the best p4p fighter that ever lived..
the best p4p fighter

lots of people with 0 losses. most havent fought the best. this holds true for floyd.

[The Hammer]

Roy Jones > Floyd Mayweather.

so, you're basing this off of past fighters? that's a little naive on your part. you still don't know.

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.

Roy Jones Jr is the answer to this question.

[pbftxrs316]

lots of people with 0 losses. most havent fought the best. this holds true for floyd.

and not for roy huh? seeing how
floyd has won championships in all of his weight classes, your post looks awful.

Who was the best?

Jones Jr no question, he was not only gifted but made his fights entertaining with his personality.

Who was the best?

The proper title of this thread should be "Margarito or Calzaghe"

NOT these poser cowards Jones, and Mayweather.
