Need some help guys, who do you rate better in the all time list. Roy Jones jr or Floyd Mayweather jr?

i go with Jones jr but can pick arguements for both.

Im sure they could both be rated in the top ten of all time especially for skilled boxers.

For me it's very hard to pick on of them. Skill wise p4p i think they are very identical. Roy was more a offensive fighter, Floyd was definitely more defensive. People still hate on Floyd allot as you can tell by some of the replies telling you Floyd doesn't even deserve to be in the same thread as Roy. Well i believe he does deserve that honor, and so do many of the same people now criticizing him, as soon as the hate starts to go away and his flashy persona is a little faded (provided he doesn't continue to disrespect fellow boxers in the retirement chair).
The main difference for me is Roy fought until the day we could see his defense fail and him starting to get punished and his chin shattered. Floyd didn't subject himself to that, he did what he had to do, he made history and dominated away from his natural weight (we don't see many fighters dominate vs stronger opponents now do we Cotto?) and people always want more and more.

You have to remember Mayweather only fights older (average age of his opponents have been 34!) or smaller (and slower) competition.

The winning percentage of his opponents after his fights has been less than 40% with less than 30% ending in K.O's! Mayweather is good at picking fights at which he is sure he will win against poor matchups.

But remember he has NOT and will not ever be able to unify the division because he will never fight a younger true welterweight like Cotto, Margs, Williams, in fact he has not fought ANY of the top ten welterweights!

Check his record below the casual fan will be shocked at how poor (and old) his oponents have been!

You completely ingore the fact boxrec.com is a site many people here visit. Look that up before making stuff up. You are clearly fresh of Cotto's cold nuts.

Mayweather remembers his days as a youth in Brazil fondly.

Mayweather is not a natural super FW.

I'm still on them.

I still got love for Floyd too

He has a very good resume, especially pre 2002.

Mayweather is not a natural super FW.

I would say he is a natural JWW. I rekon he could still make that weight f he wanted too.

Right now, Roy Jones Jr.
