    roy jones greatness to moneys

    No catch weights..

    It would be like a poor mans roy jones
    vs ruiz.

    Roy started at 154 and moved all the way up to 205 to fight ruiz who was 230 at weigh in.
    thats 51 pounds in move up and was out weighed 25 pounds at weigh in.thats 76 pounds total.

    Floyd started at 130 and moved up to 154 .thats 24 pounds.
    if he moved up to 160 thats 30 pounds.


    Why hasnt floyd gone for his heavyweight title which in boxing is a top3 alltime division beside welter and heavy.
    its like him trying to take on anyone champ at 160 or froch at 168.imagine floyd vs froch at wembley??

    Thoughts on roy accomplishment compared to what floy would have to do to be even close to such a great feat.

    Floyd is probably already considered greater than RJJ in all honesty

        I don't measure the quality of a fighter based on how many pounds they hopped around personally.

          I think he will go for a mw title before he retires if he can fight Cotto again...He is simply weighing his options right now

            No he isn't and its not even close

            Almost everyone who use to ride with him are seeing what me and the Pacquiao Posse have seen for years

            Stephen a Smith called him a cherry picker

            Alexander said he ducks black fighters

            Thurman says he dances around like a ballerina

            Floyd's boxing legacy will always be the guy that ducked Manny Pacquiao

            And it ain't like Pacquiao been hiding in a book store, hes been calling Floyd out for years.

            In the future people will watch youtube vids of Floyd and RJJ and would laugh at the difference in levels between those two. They can do it right now

              I'm pretty sure Ruiz was considered a "cherry pick" by most. Floyd moving up X amount of pounds right now to fight say a Jermain Taylor won't go down too well round these parts.

                Who's resume is better?

                Who has more world titles in more divisions?

                Who has the better boxing fundamentals and skills?

                The better chin?

                In his prime RJJ may have been more spectacularly talented but he skipped out on far too many fighters. Which is sad considering Floyd has skipped out on some too but it's nowhere near jones own ducking and his ridiculous HBO contract

                  Roy is the only person in the history of boxing to start off at 154 to win a heavyweight crown and if you dismiss his disqualification, he would've been 50-0 with 40 KO's before his 1st real loss. Also, James Toney & Bernard Hopkins are far greater than anybody Mayweather has beaten.

                    Toney is better than oscar? Mosley? Even if u thunk it is, 2 out of 60 opponents is ridiculous
