    Then you also have to take into account competition during Tysons 4 years, and Roys 10 years.

    Also take into account that Tyson got knocked out IN HIS prime, and Roy didn't

      Second of all, in Pacquiaos prime he has lost, been out boxed, had split decisions and draws.

      Pacquiao is on a tear RECENTLY. Just last March... LAST MARCH, he went life and death with Marquez.
      This post right here cant be overlooked.

          Roy Jones was.

          Mike Tyson was devestating, but a slick boxer with a good defence, chin and jab would beat him.

          Manny Pacquiao is on a great run of dominance, but again a good skilled boxer with defence and counter punching skills will beat him. (mayweather)

          Roy Jones on the other hand, was near impossible to beat. Punchers would get schooled, skill boxers would be out-skilled, fast guys would be made to look slow. Prime Roy was the truth, even though he perhaps didn't face the best tests he could have.

          The only fighter i see beating Roy would have to be fast, mobile in the ring, and have to match Roy's incredible reflexes, a fighter with the style of Muhammed Ali basically That's the only kind of fighter I see beating a prime Roy, a one-in-a-million type of fighter.

              The fact that Mike Tyson was knocked silly in his prime after 4 years and Roy Jones barely lost a round through 10 years, pretty much solidifies it.

                  So much so that you've spent 10 pages repeating yourself.

                      Jones was so good that, right now he's past-prime and he's still top 5 in handspeed. Mayweather, Pacquiao, Khan, Dawson, Jones, Gamboa, Mosley, Berto, Bradley, Judah. 41 years old. top 5 handspeed. Wow.
