    P4P Best: Roy Jones Jr or Sugar Ray Leonard?

    Both fought around about the same weight.
    SRL probably had a better resume but RJJ was more naturally talented.


    who would win in a fight at 168? or perhaps a catchweight?

    if they both fought in the same time span who would be p4p number 1?

    As I said in the Ali vs Jones thread, nobody that I can think of has/had the physical gifts that Roy Jones has/had but Leonard is higher on my pound for pound list and would win in a pound for pound matchup IMO.

    In real life though, Jones would have probably been too big for him.

      Leonard all the way!

      Edit: didn't see the question, but yeah I think Roy could be to big for him at 168. And Roy was very fast and elusive as well, I think Sugar Ray would still have a chance though.

                    What? If we're talking prime for prime here Roy Jones Jr. knocks SRL out every time.

                    That said, nobody head to head could ever have beaten Jones in his prime. Also, P4P Jones is still better than SRL.
