    If Roy were Floyd, he would have fought Cotto when he was undefeated, Margo when he beat Cotto. He would have even moved up to try to beat Paul Williams and Martinez and he would have fought Manny without calling for PEDs testing.

    Nobody would have been calling Roy a ducker/dodger ....

    Jones beat the best competition he could find at his weight.

    Here's the thing about Roy Jones Jr....you can't really name a boxer from 160-175lbs that could beat Roy Jones Jr. in his prime (1995-2002).

    Meanwhile, I'm pretty convinced that a prime (97-00) DLH could've beaten Floyd.

        his personality matched his fighting style. Floyd's does not.
        The difference outside the ring is that Roy was good natured while Floyd is mean spirited. A much less annoying arrogance.

                He completely outclassed a guy that outweighed him by what looked like alot with a broken hand, he dominated. I don't see what the problem is what that fight, Floyd had zero trouble with him while he was hurt, Cotto can quit and it's cool the excuses never end, manny gets his eyes crossed and handed gifts and the excuses never end, Floyd fights hurt and wins lopsidedly and he's the one they say has no heart because he isn't fighting foolishly when he doesn't need to.

                    Jones in his prime would make you look foolish.

                    Mayweather would just dominate.

                    Jones by far.
