Roy or Floyd, who is the more talented of the 2?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

This is the truth.

Drago was a decorated Amateur, but the **** only had 2 professional fights.

1 against an aging, past prime Creed ; which he dominated and won.

And 1 against an aging Balboa ; who Drago let off the hook, only to get KTFO'd.

Lang would've ate that blonde haired, blue eyed ***** for breakfast and snarled while he did it.

glad someone else sees the logic



drago would have been hurt by the former Ring champ

Drago got KTFO'd by Clubber's sloppy seconds.

No contest.

Drago was under contract to don king at the time of the rocky fight.... we all know how much he loved rocky.

Conspiracy much?

Who gives a damn about fictional movie charachters. Way to ruin a thread guys.

Floyd is the more complete boxer.

But Roy has the most natural talent Ive seen in my lifetime.

[MANGLER]

Roy is a better athlete.

Floyd has better skills.

Cosign. Mr boat buyer is better fundamentally. But RJ still>Mr boat buyer.

Prime Vs Prime... P4p(if they were naturally the same weight class). Floyd would beat RJJ.

Im not saying he beats him by KO or stoppage, some flashy moves. Floyd would beat him by a boring SD.

talent isn't just about athleticism though. A lot is to do with coordination. Plenty of outstanding athletes would be crap at boxing, because you also need outstanding natural coordination. Corrie Sanders had amazing talent, even if he wasn't the best athlete.

How do you say that in bold, and at the same time state the first sentence?

Roy was all athleticism. It's just that he was blessed with phenomenal athletic abilities. Incredible power, speed, and timing. Floyd was blessed with the same but has something Roy never did or never used.... Intellect.

[IMDAZED]

There have been plenty of great athletes. Roy was probably the greatest - but you don't accomplish what he accomplished without skill. You might become a Zab Judah, but not an ATG. And anyone who listened to Roy give insight when he used to commentate on HBO knows he was a real student of the game.

That said, I think Floyd was much more technical on defense. He had the ability to slip, roll and counter whereas Jones relied much more on his legs and reflexes. While it made him a lot harder to hit than Mayweather (at least when he was in his prime), Floyd will have the advantage in his later years.
