    Who's resume is better? Floyd Mayweather or Roy Jones Jr?

    I realize that Floyd is younger, and he will likely add some more big names before he is done. But at this point, who's resume is better?

    Jones!

    Toney is better than Corrales...

    The Ruiz win is better than the Hatton win.

    He also beat a bunch of LHW prospects that actually turned out to be something, winning titles after Jones left.

    Woods and Gonzalez are a couple.

    Green Hopkins is still an excellent win.

    Mayweather could probably change that with a win over Cotto though.

      Exactly Dweins, I started the thread because Floydstantatic was claiming Floyd's resume smoked Roy's.

        Jones's resume is PATHETIC when u consider what it could have been.

        But its still better then Mayweathers i guess, the jump up to win the heavyweight title over Ruiz is the capper.

        But Castillo is a highly underrated win for Mayweather, Castillo was a great lightweight champion and Mayweather beat him soundly the 2nd time around

          What about the first time? Should Mayweather be considered undefeated

            Yes. He won a close competitive fight. But this is a dead issue.

              Hmmmmmmmm...........Roy probably. He was the legitimate best in all of the divisions he fought in, with the obvious exception of Heavyweight, where Lennox was the boss. He beat Hopkins and Toney too, which really pump up his resume.

              And yeah, I think that Roy has to get some credit for the fact that the guys he beat turned out turned out to be pretty good.

              But I think Floyd's closing in on it, or at least he would be if he wanted to. But I can't give Floyd credit for the things he could do, I have to base it off of what he has done, and I'd say Roy's resume is ahead, but not by a wide margin.

                No he wasn't, he was a good lightweight champion.

                  Dela Hoya ,Hatton are Floyds best wins ,Corrales RIP good fighter but not Elite ,Judah is a good win on paper but we all know the intangibles with the Judah fight

                  Roy has beaten Hopkins & Toney that to me is better than Hatton & Dela Hoya ,he did beat Ruiz for a version of the Heavyweight title aswell
