Has Mayweather now surpassed Roy Jones Jr?

Yes, Floyd has a better resume than Roy. Roy is probably the most overrated fighter of our era. I get people loved him in his prime but part of your legacy is your losses. If Roy wanted to be remembered as one of the best he needed to stop fighting after the Tarver fight. Roy wouldn't stop and now his legacy is tarnished. Floyd has now a better resume, never been beat, and also has beat nearly every opponent on his resume easily. Roy lost to freaking Danny Green, among others. You can't just erase a guys losses because you don't like them.Comment

You're an idiot and what you're saying is completely irrelevant here....my point has nothing to do with any other fighter, my comment was directed towards Roy fans who are infamous to over look his KO losses to Tarver and Glenn and put them in the "past his prime, doesn't count" file.....we should look at a fighters career as a whole when judging it IMO, or at least around his prime...the losses to Cal and Hopkins we could clearly see Roy was a shell, but against Tarver and Glenn although not in his prime he was still a great talent and was only showing a few signs of slipping......this doesn't even have anything to do with Floyd, I haven't even spoken on who's better and you're probably just assuming I think Floyd is better by calling me a *****......Comment

Well no **** since mostly the whole p4p list consist of fighter lower than 147 and Roy at his prime was at MW. That doesn't stop pacquaio and Floyd having better resume than roy.Comment

No what stops them from having a better resume if their lack of better fights. Pac may have a legitimate claim to a better resume, but I in no way see how Floyd does. Not at all.Comment

When Roy lost a step we saw what happened with him against Tarver and Johnson. When Floyd lost a step we saw him get hurt, adapt and dominate.
Both are ATGs but if Floyd wins a few more fights I wouldn't mind putting him ahead of RJJComment

No Mayweather has not equaled the accomplishments of Jones Jr.. And I'm afraid it's a little late in his career to do it. Most of those that might try to claim he has were not even watching boxing when Jones was a champion. If Jones had avoided Toney and Hopkins and resisted unifying all the light heavyweight titles they would be more simular.Comment
