Whose The More Supreme Boxer-Roy Jones Or Floyd Mayweather?

[nvme]

this is a ***en joke. roy jones jr in his PRIME was UNTOUCHABLE!!!!!! when roy fought his opponents, he ***en toyed wif em. and rarely got hit. roy could have easily destroyed so many of his opponents way before when he actually did. he would carry his opponnent through rounds so the fans can get a spectacle.

floyd as a great technician of a boxer, is a great boxer. but we'll see how well he goes when his 35. fluctuatin between divisions.

honestly, these are how the classes work:

1-really unskilled fighters (or sum disrepectful ppl call them as "bums")
2-amateur
3- up and commer
3- contender
4-champion
5-undisputed champion/elites










6- ROY JONES Jr

Uhh Hopkins was not in his prime and neither was Jones when they both fought. You haven't got a clue so stop making yourself look foolish.

Floyd tends to have brittle hands. His fault or not, that's a flaw. He also can get TOO defensive if he's allowed to. He could, technically, lull himself to sleep and get caught with something. He also has problems with dealing with someones jab, if it's a decent one. De La Hoya and Judah had success with that. They didn't have the stamina, but it's not hard to find a guy who has stamina and a decent or better jab (See, Paul Williams) Not saying Williams would beat him, just saying.

Flaws, he has.

Also, as he ages, his shoulder-roll defense might not cut it. You have to be VERY alert to pull that off. Older guys aren't always that alert.

Fair points. I still believe that PBF's shoulder-roll defense is much easier to sustain over time than Roy's 'defense.' In fact, Mayweather may even be better at it in a few years. Look at James Toney. He managed to sustain a great defense over the years, despite becoming a swollen fuel blivet. PBF doesn't ever seem to exert himself, so age won't affect his defense nearly as much as it did Roy's. Roy jumped in and out with his hands down. He had the athletic ability to get away with it for a while, but everybody knew that sooner or later it was going to end ugly for him. If he decides to fight until his mid-thirties, I believe PBF will be much more of a force than Roy was at that age (even in a much tougher division). I'm not saying he'll be undefeated (I always pick against PBF btw), but he'll still be a top fighter.

i agree that floyds style will sustain longer than roys.. BUT its too early to call it... roy didnt get caught til he was 35... one thing i give roy credit for over floyd... is he keeps fighting... even after getting beaten... real champions come back... floyd retires after every fight... roy won a piece of the heavyweight title... and didnt retire... u know damn well floyd would be DONE if he did that.. floyd really doesnt wanna lose... which i absolutely dont blame him... but u cant retire in your prime... i wanna see what intangibles you have AFTER your prime... i think thats part of a fighters legacy... fighting after your prime

[Banjo7]

Floyd no doubt about it.

just to reiterate , obviously I'm talking about a prime ROY JONES vs Prime Floyd.
