As good as Pacquiao and Mayweather are.. They got nothing on Prime Roy

[RichCCFC]

This is against a pretty good world champ (or would go on to be one)

Not even his best performance but still a reminder of his amazing talent

[goblin213]

That's what he was, a "talented" fighter and not a very skillful one. Not that he did not have skills, it's just he had to rely on athleticism, reflex, and speed more. But when you reach a certain age you're f**ked! Unlike Hopkins or JMMarquez who rely simply on skills and ring smarts.

Prime Roy was a gun... but Manny & Floyds resume > Jones jnr

[miron_lang]

Yeah. Roy p4p most like;y beats Pac and FLoyd. But Resume wise Floyds is comparable while Pac's is so many times better.

Roy was a special fighter who was an unstoppable force in his prime but had terrible technique. Once those physical gifts faded he was doomed.

Terrible technique?

He throws straight and accurate punches so I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Just because Hopkins said it, it doesn't make it true. If talent and handpseed is all it took to be a great then why didn't Meldrick Taylor or Andre Dirrell become great?

Roy Jones was very good technically in his prime, unorthodox but still good.

Roy was overrated.
