Is Roy Jones Jr, The greatest of his generation????

[GreatestIam]

Roy was ****ing invincible he won the MW n HW titles and was P4P for close to 10 yrs... He wanted to fight Mike Tyson, he made boxers look foolish and went over what? 40 rounds without loseing a round? He's by far the greatest of are GEN next would be Floyd in my eyes then Hop...

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I'd go for Lennox - he had the balance of skill and resume. He beat everyone of his era except Chicken Bowe.

floyd
hopkins - rjj

[Lazy Liberal]

I still think he benifittes from a very weak LHW division.

[Dan...]

Tonight doesn't change anything. Roy is still the best fighter of the last 20 years.

Tell Me who in Floyd Generation Has done what Floyd has Done...??

Only Person i can say comes Close is Holyfield....

(http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.ph..._Ratings:_1998)
Floyd Mayweather was ranked 2th on P4P List in Only 3 years of After turning Pro Number 1 in his Division
(http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.ph..._Ratings:_1999)

And We all know that he has been reconized number #1 for almost 4 years now....

In a shorter period of time From a Ranking Stand Point Floyd Mayweather Has risen higher than anybody.

And that is because dude resume is Stacked...

[Horus]

Roy jones is a great fighter....I dont deny that..!!!

He is one of the greatest....He is probably the top 3 Lhw of all time....


But he is not the greatest of this Generation...when you are comparing him to Floyd.


Mayweather is boxing’s best all-around fighter period.
Look @ his dominance over his opposition. Few fighters have ever been as statistically superior to his opponents than Mayweather, who rarely loses rounds, much less fights. A recent CompuBox analysis determined that the “Pretty Boy” leads the sport in “plus-minus” rating – and not by a little. The “plus-minus” is the difference between a fighter’s average connect percentage and that of his opponents, and Mayweather’s plus-30 (46 percent to 16 percent) is seven percentage points ahead of his closest competition, Juan Diaz, who owns a plus-23.

Mayweather’s rating compares favorably to the prime Roy Jones (plus-23) and Pernell Whitaker (plus-16). For the record



Look at this PBF stat.....

[Motofan]

No doubt, yes Roy is the best of this generation. In his prime, he was Superman.

[skyler]

Skill and talent wise no doubt about it.

[daggum]

I'd go for Lennox - he had the balance of skill and resume. He beat everyone of his era except Chicken Bowe.
