    I just can't conceive of a game plan for Floyd to beat Roy. Roy is fast enough he would have countered over one of Floyd's leads and put him to sleep.

    I just cant see Floyd winning this, he either goes super defensive and loses a wide decision, or gets KOed trying to counter Roy.
    Agreed on every point, wow. I gotta tell you guys, im used to talking to casual boxing fans who might have seen Roy in his 40s and trying to explain to then what he was. Its refreshing to actually talk to people who have a clues.

          Naw Floyd is to smart for anyone to put a clinic on,Roy would win in my opinion but no clinic,Floyd would have his moments and hold more then his own

            Watching Roy in his prime was like watching Michael Jordan in his prime. You just never knew what he'd do next. He put on a show.

              Floyd is the smarter fighter, so I'd go with him close.

                    It has to be noted that while Roy has the edge in physical gifts, Floyd has the edge technically.

                    Its actually a pick em fight imo. Floyd would be bamboozled by someone even faster than him with considerably more power, but Roy could get caught out by a guy with better fundamentals and almost as much speed.

                      In his prime, Roy knocks out floyd in 2-3 rounds. There's a reason why floyd has never fought a slick black master boxer like Bradley or Monroe in his prime. In fact, I think Roy as he is still beats him pretty easily.
