Floyd Mayweather vs. a prime Roy Jones, if they were the same size.

Better question is who wins at 154, which has been asked a million times before... answer is Roy Jones... Floyd isn't beating Jones to the punch and sneaking in jabs to win rounds... that pull counter right isn't gonna fly with Jones either, he's just too quick... If Roy was in his prime NOW, Floyd would not be as big as he is... even though they'd be in different weight classes.

who would beat a prime roy from any weight class is the question out of all the fighters to ever lace em up

Im not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure this question was asked a million times. But if I had to answer and they were the same size i'm going with...**** idk. Roy's speed is the best in history imo and you cant hit Floyd with rice so its a toss-up.

Roy. No disrespect to Floyd. Roy was a freak.

Exactly jas. Jones was faster than floyd, bigger, and a way better puncher. Floyd just isn't active enough. The pot shot and grin method would be no match for roy.

If anyone in the history of boxing could tag Floyd at will, or put Floyd on the receiving end of being frustrated because for once he can't connect when he wants, it's Jones, no one else is fast enough... with any other great fantasy matchup with Floyd, it becomes a more technical matter, vs with Roy where he has all the tools plus superior athleticism.

see roy vs james toney fight.

maidana fight ruined floyd's undefeated fantasy fight streak.

he will lose a lot of fantasy fights now.

mayweather relies too much on his speed, he needs to learn more fients, roy jones beats him because he's faster
