154 pound version of RJJ

wth kinda question is this? RJ didn't fight ANYONE of note at 154 and it was simply him growing into his own body, it's the story with most fighters, when they start off, they have fights at odd weights and then get down or up to a particular division to fight for honours.

154lb RJ isn't even relevant.

So are you saying that floyd beats the roy jones jr coming out of the olympics that started at 154 as a pro

ofc he does, that Jones was green af and still learning and not even properly developed on a physical level as a pro. You're asking him to fight one of the best fighters of the 21st century who by the team he reached 154lb had reached his peak in all areas. Come on now.

Don't think Roy needs all this experience to beat Floyd, he's as fast or faster, considerably bigger(blows up and is much taller) and he's a gold medalist to Floyd's bronze medal.

Roy was a special fighter early in his career

In a theoretical match up, of course Roy wins. Floyd started and was at his best at 130. Roy started at 154 but was really a super middleweight.

This topic has been discussed to death.

The fact that Roy didn't fight anyone noteworthy at 154, is why it's an interesting question.

Take Floyd of the Oscar fight, and put him against Roy at 22, who was an inexperienced phenom.

I'd have to go with Roy. Too much speed and power, and physically bigger.
