Has Mayweather now surpassed Roy Jones Jr?

See, I never look at stuff like that. I just look at them as being 2 ATG's. It would be one thing if they were in the same division or fought the same guys but they didnt. Both were beast who you cant take anything away from. Still though, if I had to chooose, it would be Floyd. I like Floyd because I think that even though RJ moved up alot, he was always more comfotable at the weight than Floyd. I also think history shows in nearly all sports that if all things are nearly equal, the more fundemetally sound team or player will win out and I think thats Floyd.

If they fought P4P, RJ would be a freak but I think Floyd is too well skooled to lose to him. I will say that RJ brought the higher level in more fights than Floyd but if they both are on there A game then I think Floyd has shown to be better. Its apples & oranges really and you cant go wrong either way. I always say that when guys get older or lose then people forget how good they really were and RJ was a once in a liftetime type of talent that we will probably never ever see again. Floyd is a once in a lifetime type of skilled fighter that we will never see again. To each his own

Exactly, I cant compare these two because they are in diff wt classes they're both my favorite fighters tho...Roy Jones being first obviously

Roy Jones is still the greater fighter.

First boxer in over 100 years to advance from the middleweight to the heavyweight championship. He has also beaten bigger names than FMJ.

In his prime, he was untouchable. P4P King for nearly a decade.

RJJ > FMJ

this is just not true

Floyd falls short in the meaningful opponents category. Jones battles with Hopkins and Toney would never have happened if he was worried about losing or his legacy. Additionally Jones completely unified all the titles in a division, something Mayweather has carefully chose not to do.
