Roy Jones was forced to lean back in the last part of his career because his style was dependant on reflexes, Floyd is undefeated because his style works much better for him, he is the best defensive fighter with a good offense and great right hands.
Both were good fighters, but IMO Mayweather is the complete package with more boxing skills. Mayweather didnt get KTFO by Hatton or DLH when he was in the later part of his career but Roy got KTFO by Tarver and Johnson, want to know why? Because their styles are completely different, one relied on his speed and reflexes (Roy) and once they were gone, Roy was no more superman. Floyd lost his speed and reflexes while moving up in weight in less time, but he still had that great defense, footwork, straight right hand, uppercut and a whole lot arsenal of punches. He can potshot/counter punch and adjust to any style despite losing the speed and reflexes, that my friend is a Special fighter. All Roy had was unbelievable speed/reflexes, it was natural talent that was rare in any other fighter, he was gifted.
i dont believe in that, roy could take a serious punch before, i think it had to do alot with goin up and down from heavyweight
but that's just my personal claim
i dont agree........ roy lost to antoino tarver yo...... tarver is sooo not on roys level, therfore had no business beating him.....floyd would never lose to a lesser opponent......
the two of them are the best boxer we've seen in the past 20 years
