I voted for the Jones beating but they were both one sided slaughters so take your pick.
More Dominant Performance, Jones Vs Pazienza or Mayweather vs Gatti?

i've ALWAYS thought this same exact notion.Jones vs pazienza
Pazienza is a better fighter then gatti ever was. gatti was a carefully calculated matchmaking. Used for his name for a ppv.
Gatti was already through wars and beat down by other fighters like oscar.
Nobody ever did that to pazienza.roy taunted him while beating him. If roy had to ever fight floyd being the same size , he would have embarrassed floyd.
Floyd was the naturally bigger fighter vs gatti.Reach height .
if mayweather EVER had to fight a fighter like Roy Jones Jr in their PRIME he would've gotten beat pretty soundly. BUT a RJJ type of fighter is only born once in a CENTURY so mayweather did what he did against the type of opponents available to him and in his weight classes in his generationComment

I think Roy would have the slight edge in speed and power but he would be behind when it came to technique and fundamentals. A relatively green Bernard Hopkins gave Roy a run for his money in his prime so I don't see how a superior fighter in Floyd wouldn't have had even more success.i've ALWAYS thought this same exact notion.

Pazienza had zero business being in the ring with Roy or at that weight class. I mean this guy lost to Roger Mayweather at 140, why the hell is he fighting prime Jones at 168 years later.
Gatti had no chance vs mayweather but atleast it was at his natural weight class.
A lot people forget that at 140 was about the last time mayweather had real power. Not like Jones but he was a puncher at 130-135 and at 140 he was still getting stoppages.Comment

I agree but your argument is which is the better win (clearly Gatti). As far as more dominant performance I'd say Jones.Pazienza had zero business being in the ring with Roy or at that weight class.

Gatti had no chance vs mayweather but atleast it was at his natural weight class.
