    Roy actually turned pro as a MW, but again, I'd still have picked him to beat Floyd earlier in his career.

    Roy fought twice at 154 in 91.

      Roy Jones is not a gold medalist. He was robbed and incidentally so was Mayweather. If you were seriously trying to make a point with that it's a ****** and incorrect one.

          It's not comparable.

          Mayweather in a fairly competitive fight(I thought he probably have won) lost your typical decision in a shtty amatuer system where old men with bad eyesights try to count who landed the most punches and even then it's fairly subjective(especially live). Roy Jones absolutely dominated and decimated Hun in a round-by-round scoring system, he beat the sht outta him, and hurt him in three separate occasions.

          After the Roy Jones fight in Korea, one of the judges apologized for robbing him, Park Si-hun apologized to him, admitted he lost the fight and retired from boxing after being shamed, the referee said told Roy he won, all the judges of the fight were suspended. Roy Jones got a trophy which is only 1 of 3 ever to not be given to the Gold Medalist. And the Olympics changed its scoring system after that bout to what we know now.

          Roy Jones' loss was for a FACT(an investigation found these guys being bribed) a robbery.

              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.
              Floyd doesn't throw enough in a fight like this to even be considered a winner.

                Yes, I think he'd have been overwhelmed.
