    Who is more beatable in thier prime? Jones or Mayweather

    Who is more beatable in thier prime ? Jones or Mayweather

    Jones

    I think Jones struggled with guys that were able to break up his rhythm and i think that is why he struggled with Southpaw fighters a lot, because Southpaw fighters are notorious for breaking up your rhythm and if you notice most Southpaw's are counter punchers. Jones was having plenty of trouble dealing with Montell Griffin before the DQ, because Griffin was a slick cagey unorthodox counter puncher who was able to break up your rhythm and frustrate you he did it to James Toney twice.

    Mayweather

    struggled to dominate a 34 year old DLH and arguably lost to Jose Luis Castillo. Mayweather was being outboxed against Zab Judah untill Judah gassed out like he is accustomed to doing.

    Mayweather was also unsettled by Jesus Chavez untill he took advantage of Chavez tiredness in the late round i thought he was also unsettled by Sosa but he still went on to win both fights so i give hims props for adapting in those fights.


    BTW i know Griffin was not a lefty

        id say PBF,

        im big fan of both of these cats. but alot of people would say pbf lost to castillo in their first fight than any prime roy jones fights.


        in the rjj vs griffin fight alot of people give griffin more credit than he deserves it wasnt like griffin was schoolin roy or hurting roy. roy just wasnt dominating him as cleanly like he would to everyone else.

            NO your right bro. i agree. i dont think he lost to castillo. i personally think he won by like a round or so.

            but my point is out of all of pbf's prime fights to roys prime fights meaning prior to clinton woods IMO. pbf's win over castill 1, would be more so talked as a loss verses any of roys fights prior to clinton woods. roy in his prime was ridiculous!

              no one knows because Mayweather will never fight anyone who's risky, lets see him fight Margarito, i think he struggled against DLH

              mayweathers got an air of invisiblity, but its all bull****.. he aint unbeatable

                I accidentally voted for Jones when I meant Floyd! RJJ was easily the p4p of our generation.

                  Yeah more than likely

                  i think HBO's poor commentary has a lot to do with who the fans think won the fight between Floyd and Castillo.

                    Floyd ducked the best fighters. He just avoided them all. He had to let Hatton moved up to 147 as we all know Hatton had a hard time there with Collazo. Castillo beat him clearly. He even got knockdown by Judah. Fought a weight drained Corrales..

                    He avoids the best and handpicked his opponents.

                    I say Floyd is clearly beatable.

                    I don't think Floyd is nowhere near Roy. Floyd's legacy is just too questionable
