    I'd have to say Floyd. He's faced tougher opposition than Jones and has yet to be knocked out.

      roy-better athlete as far as movement goes...

      floyd-the most technically gifted fighter maybe of all time...

      roy had a huge amount of talent and was very dynamic

      floyd's skillset, however, was more complex and has kept him undefeated and he will be better off when he's older because of how he uses his skillset(fundementals) in the ring---mainly his intellect is sharper than roy's and has always been...floyd will be considered the better fighter overall after several years...

                no i didn't forget to say it...you just forgot how not to say it...i wouldn't call ricky hatton a bum when he faced floyd...i wouldn't call zab judah and baldomir bums at the time they faced floyd, seeing how they were champions or former champions...i would call shane mosley a bum for having a toothache when floyd called him out in 06...he also called him out in 2005 as well as oscar publicly, and they kept quiet...he also called out hatton in 05, but he was scared to fight him and he wasn't ready...cotto comes to watch floyd fight gatti and bruselles and he stays quiet and bobby arummmmmm keeps him away from floyd....margarito calls out floyd when floyd wants oscar, and margarito then loses to williams and gets exposed for plaster of paris after he is knocked out by shane...

                floyd will fight cotto, shane, and pac, don't worry....he will beat them also...don't stress yourself out over it....

                  Roy is the more talented athlete overall, but Floyd's athletic ability transitions to boxing skills better than Roy.

                    How do we know?

                    Take Floyds reflexes away see how well he deflectes those incoming punches... Floyds is definitely technically more sound... but you make it sound like no other fighter needs reflexes, just Roy.

                      Yes...Roy kept going till 35 pretty much. It'll be very interesting to see how Floyd looks at that age.
