    I think Floyd actually has a pretty decent resume, but I give Roy the >> too. Roys greatest wins are better than Floyds by a significant margin.

      You could say that that's "all" Ali/Clay had against Liston, too. You'd be wrong, and you're wrong about Jones, but those are NOT advantages to be taken lightly. And great doesn't even scratch the surface of Jones' physical advantages over his competition.

      I say Jones has the better resume and is the p4p better fighter by far.

        Hopkins 5 yrs plus imo gives him alot more problems..he was bigger and more experienced. just my opinion...anyway i tink Roy wins

          i dont even think hes the better p4p fighter...but by far??? i dont see that at all...roy was an amazing athletic talent, and its not even close. but imo floyd was always tougher than roy, had the better defense, the better skill set etc.

            even if that was the case, who says Roy was in his prime either?
