    I can't argue with that. While Roy was the more gifted fighter in his prime, he still has many losses and Floyd has fought better competition in volume.
    roy never lost in his prime and stayed well past it....Ray Robinson has over a dozen losses and lost in his prime and near it...legit ones

    Only loss Jones had under the age of 35 is a dq loss

    I like both equally but I have never seen a fighter before or since dominate world class fighters and hall of famers like a prime Roy Jones...not even Floyd

        Very good point. Probably why Dan (and perhaps Brian Campbell) wanted it to be Roy and disagreed with the outcome.

                Absolutely. I would have chosen Roy but I understand why Floyd was chosen.

                    I'd go Roy Jones, myself, then Mayweather. Apparently so would a lot of you.
