Pound for pound prime RJJ vs Floyd

[THE REED]

Floyd never lost. your ASSumptions that he lost once are worthless. roy got ko'd by tarver. everyone started saying he's past his prime only after the fight not before. I choose Mayweather Im sure he'll know when to retire from boxing too

Wait.

Roy was in the prime of his career against Tarver?

[Spray_resistant]

Roy if he wanted to would stop him probably in some p4p match where they were both LHWs/SMWs, he didn't have the best technique but see Jones vs Toney if anyone thinks superior technique without the ability to match him gets the job done.

Prime Roy was just a freak of nature 1 in a billion, I have never seen anyone with that kind of natural ability before.

[IMDAZED]

everything toney did, floyd does better plus has more tools in his belt.

Toney had more power, a better chin, threw more, had a far greater offense...i don't think that's true at all.

[IMDAZED]

Honestly, no disrespect to anyone, but if you haven't seen Toney from 1992-1994 (which it's obvious some of you haven't)...then STFU.

[THE REED]

many but to say that toney is a better fighter than floyd is laughable.

to say that toney has a better defense than floyd is extremely laugable

It's not laughable at all to people who have actually seen Toneys entire career.

It may or may not be better, but it is comparable.

I would rank Floyds defense over Toneys, but it isnt laughable.

[Pacquiao'd]

Actually, Toney is a great fighter himself and has a better resume than Floyd. I'm not saying he's greater but facts are facts. Floyd isn't that much greater, if at all. And Jones shut him out.

ok. but toney is no floyd, real talk.

taking resume out.

skills wise, on every front, floyd>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>toney

[The Big Dunn]

I wouldn't come at you like that.


But look at what you said.

But counterpunching is floyd's strength and thats maybe how he wins.


Was counterpunching not Roys strength as well?

Add on to the fact, better reflexes, faster handspeed, and p4p much more power... How is Floyd going to out counter Roy?

Yeah roy is too, but I'm making an argument why I feel floyd wins. I think floyd is better. And IMDAZED point is well taken, toney is like floyd. But he isn't floyd.

I just think floyd's accurate hard counterpunching eventually wears roy down, assuming all else is equal. At some point roy IMO, will have to change his style.

You are 100% correct, from rd 1-12 roy could take floyd out at any secomnd with one punch. But if he doesn't take him out I think floyd forces him to do sopmething different.

[IMDAZED]

ok. but toney is no floyd, real talk.

taking resume out.

skills wise, on every front, floyd>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>toney

No, that's not true at all either. Toney had the better chin, more power, was far more active, great stamina. Plus, was no slouch in all other departments. yesir, you know my man but step your game up. Go watch those Toney tapes from the early 90's.

Wait.

Roy was in the prime of his career against Tarver?

I was replying to the person who said that may has lost once meanwhile roy has never lost. of course we can ignore the dq vs griffith but you cant say jones jr. never lost. in the tarver fight he was a bit past his prime but as i said no one was talking about it before the fight only after he got knocked out

[The Big Dunn]

yes but toney is no floyd.

toney is great and all but got hit alot for a defensive wizard.

floyd>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.toney.

floyd is better IMO but not by much
