    Roy easily. The worst part about fighting him is he had big KO power and was one of the fastest ever

        Roy Jones...he mastered his own unique style catered to his outstanding attributes as an athlete. The most physically gifted fighter in boxing...IMO the best counterpuncher i had ever seen...at 160-168 had legit one punch kayo power...p4p had the fastest hands, feet and reflexes ever....He had sound fundamentals, olympic pedigree and handcuffed his opponents. Mayweather outclassed guys but they still tried....roy either knocked you out or put you in survival mode by the 3rd round....by the time he reached 175 he would just cruise and make you look foolish to a UD12

            Please kill yourself for saying something this ignorant.

            A lot of past greats would like to have a talk with you, and they'd probably rearrange your jaw for saying something so blasphemous.

              Roy Jones jr did not have a great defence. If he had fought and defeated Michalczewski i'd more more inclined to pick Jones 'easily' or think 'it ain't even close'.

                Roy gets my vote, that behind the back KO is classic

                  I'm a bigger Floyd fan and admire his style more but Roy. Roy's a once in a lifetime freak of nature. What he did to James Toney is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. It was like some kind of magic trick in Vegas where they make a plane disappear.

                    Floyd in his prime was too smart.

                    He'd easily avoid all of his prime opponent's punches because he'd never get into a ring with them in the first place.

                      In his prime, Jones would never barely beat a Castillo equivalent, he would dominate and stop him. But that's skills and power combined. Toney and Hopkins were far superior to Castillo pound for pound and Jones clearly won those fights.
