PRIME ROY JONES vs PRIME FLOYD MAYWEATHER

[IMDAZED]

floyd has more skill. roy may have been a little more athletic, but in no shape or form does roy have more gifts than floyd. floyd is better defensively, fought off the ropes better, jabbed much better, countered better. overall, floyd was the better fighter and i would favor him to win on his skillset alone. roy hit harder, had faster hands, and was accurate also like floyd, but was never as technically gifted as floyd, and he would have to be to beat him, period. roy's size could be too much for floyd, but if they were the same weight and started off at the same weight, floyd beats roy, bar none. he is the most fluid fighter of this era and roy's era.

N*gro please...do you ever write about anyone else?

I'd like to see Floyd Mayweather shut out a prime James Toney. How bout that?

That's not always true.

Being a defensive fighter is definitely a huge asset as far as being a fighter is concerned, but it doesn't always work well with guys like Roy who used his speed and athleticism to throw his opponents' game plan out the window, along with the mind games.

Floyd's style works for guys like a Hatton or Corralles (RIP) who would continue moving forward throwing punches at a huge rate. Roy was very selective of his shots and was incredibly accurate.

Yea what he said. Noone beats a prime Roy. While Roy was shutting out James Toney, and beating Bernard one handed, Floyd was getting gift descisions against jose luis Castillo. Roy would have made Cstillo look like Vinnyy Paz. Floyd is great, but Roy was absolutely unbelievable. Ill take unbelievable over great 7 days a week.

being naturally athletic is a gift you thick ****
and if you ever seen floyd play anyother sport and then watched roy, you'd see roy is more talented and naturally gifted

But Floyd quit when he reached his prime...Roy didn't

But Floyd quit when he reached his prime...Roy didn't

no he didnt..prime floyd was before he even reached 147

[larryx]

at 147 floyd was on the downside of his prime...his body was breaking down

But Floyd quit when he reached his prime...Roy didn't

i wish roy had done the same, or right after beating tarver
