And in the scheme of things if you could match guys up and let them fight ten times, I think the list of guys that could beat Roy consistently can be counted on one hand.
    ^^^^this....you cant pick your era or who is in your time....looking at what roy could do in the ring...I FAVOR NO ONE...his size to beat him 154-168...he was a small light heavy

        I don't know guys, prime for prime, I think Floyd is the more complete fighter between him and Roy. Huge Roy fan, but I think we're getting caught up in a big man vs little man comparison. The bigger guy is more relatable, he's closer to our size, he's easier to digest, you know the severity of damage he inflicted on guys at the size. Floyd being a smaller guy, it's easy to look him over. Floyd at 130 is the greatest fighter to ever live in my opinion. He had EVERYTHING.

          How does he have the clearly better resume? Roy has Hopkins himself, Toney, almost every LHW worth a damn over an entire decade, and the jump to beat Ruiz at heavyweight. That's better than what Hopkins did. Hopkins's best wins can't even compare.

              Imagine if Holyfield beat Ruiz in the rematch and we got a Jones/Holyfield fight for the Heavyweight Title

                    You get more ******ed everyday , Floyd who is unbeaten and the most decorated fighter in the world who fought and beat more WCs and HOF fighters than anyone in history , off course Floyd is going to be No 1 , slap some common sense into your biased brain .

                      Unbeaten? Bad judging kept his unbeaten record! What are the champs he beat.....berto, Ortiz, guerro type guys. Or past best guys coming off losses like SSM and dlh.?
                      Floyd is 4th greatest behind BH. Fight and beat GGG and he will be above pac. If he lasts distance whilst losing I'd be inclined to put him above poac
