      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.

        He lost some of his reflexes and all of his punch resistance Id say that doesn't put him anywhere near prime.

            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.

              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.

                    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 RJJ

                      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.
