Greater Fighter, Roy Jones Jr Or Floyd Mayweather Jr?

[Joeyzagz]

It depends how good Mayweather looks once he starts losing. Close decisions vs crawling on the ground looking for a mouthpiece.
Roy has has already spoken.(still ATG)

If mayweather beats Pacquiao, hes not going to face another threat, he loves his zero too much.

Marciano didnt face anyone after he beat Archie Moore

Lennox didnt face anyone after he beat Vitali

Calzaghe didnt face anyone after Roy....yet

Roy = The most athletically gifted fighter of all time.

Floyd = The most technically sound fighter of all time.

Add to that Floyd is also one of most althletically and mentally gifted fighters with unbelieveable dedication, he is the much more complete fighter.

Who in YOUR OPINION should rank higher on a ATG List and why?

the poll results are a joke.

it's roy and it's not even close.

best wins? hopkins , toney > corrales , castillo

hill > mosley

ruiz > baldomir

roy is a natural middleweight who dominated light heavyweight and fought practically everyone.

floyd was a natural lightweight who got selective on who he fought when he got to welterweight.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Mayweather easily...........

[Cash Cow]

Jones....Floyd kind of reminded of Jones in a less explosive sort of way..They have the same kind of movement gestures, ect...

cant agree with this....Mayweather for sure has faced better opposition

[Kobe B Bryant]

Mayweather and no its not close.

no it's not.

roy is just being underrated and forgotten because of how crappy he's been the past few years.

resume wise it's roy.

skillswise it's a push. floyd has the superior technical skills but roy had the superior physical and natural skills.

Holy ****. The win over Mosley has done Floyd MASSIVE favours in terms of legacy, he use to get **** on untill his win over Mosley now he's ranked higher then Roy Jones? lol :S

[Roxas]

TOO early to judge, but Mayweather right now is where Roy was in 2003.

Martinez is Floyds John Ruiz


Pacquiao is Floyds Antonio Tarver

Mayweather needs to make the smart decision and face the guy in his own weight class first(pacman), and save the bigger guy for later.

Dont make the same mistake Roy Jones made by moving up, then coming down in weight to face a dangerous guy.

Green K given

smartest thing I've read here all week....

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

no it's not.

roy is just being underrated and forgotten because of how crappy he's been the past few years.

resume wise it's roy.

skillswise it's a push. floyd has the superior technical skills but roy had the superior physical and natural skills.

Roy is one of my all time faves. I think most people on here dont realize he was the man prior to like 2004 or something like that.

Athletically and in a boxing ring I dont think anyone in history beats a Prime Roy. However Floyd is dominating at a consistent level year in and year out. Through old age and all. The resumes are close but Floyd is just on another level IMO.

cant agree with this....Mayweather for sure has faced better opposition

how?

corrales , delahoya , hatton , castillo , baldomir , mosley?

all those fights together don't equal beating just hopkins at 160 and toney at 168.

you want to talk about mosley? what about mccallum? virgil hill?

you want to count marquez? hell beating vinny pazienza at 168 is more credible. vinny actually was fighting at 168. roy didn't make him jump straight from 154 to fight him at 168.
