        I'd pick Roy Jones.

        Roy's so big at MW, so explosive, fast, powerful.

        Ray's a great Middleweight, can hang with absolutely anyone and one of the best MW's ever but I think Roy would be too much for him.

        Don't think he'd stop him though.

          I'm going to be honest and admit I haven't seen enough of SRR to make an informed decision. Which probably also goes for a lot of the people that picked him.

              Gotta go with Roy. Too big, fast, strong at the weight class.

                Same for me. All I really know about SRR is from what other people say, and many act as if he's some unbeatable God.

                  Of course nobody is unbeatable but at WW he would be incredibely hard to beat.

                  At Middleweight of course he is very beatable.

                    I'd normally pick SRR in such debates, but prime Roy was the closest thing to an unbeatable fighter i've ever seen. Imagine what the roy that fought toney would have done to Lamotta (that was super middle and maybe at middle he was a bit raw but still ...)
