Floyd is the better technician but Roy by far was the better fighter

Mayweather is greater but at their absolute prime Roy was better

Roy peak was higher
floyd peak was longer

Roy Jones Jr is the greatest fighter of this generation.

Roy is great, Floyd is great, both great American fighters that people can look up to. Roy was more athletic but Floyd was a better scientist. If they ever fought, Floyd would win 7-5. Just my opinion

In his prime, JOnes looked more impressive but lil boy floy fought the better opponents and was at the top a little bit longer.

His opponents could hardly land a punch on Roy Jones in his prime.

Mayweather could beat his opponents from the outside, midrange, and inside. Even if you were able to land on him Mayweather found a way to win.

I would go with Mayweather but Roy Jones is much more fun to watch.

Roy Jones, schooling a Prime Toney was second to none.l

RJJ would KO Floyd after toying with him for a bit like a cat plays with a mouse. In terms of career/legacy, Floyd probably gets the edge because he wisely chose not to fight while completely shot as a fighter.
