    Yo nobody dominated Hopkins back then.

      Mayweather was the better fighter and had a better resume.

          Floyd fought more quality opponents by miles & Roy would have to get off the roids to meet Floyd at 154 & Floyd would light him up like a x-mas tree. T.B.E.

            roy did far more with the skillset he had than floyd was willing to attempt...
            Floyd is/was more skilled than Roy, Roy was fast & could punch. Floyd did more with less physical attributes....Floyd is T.B.E. it aint close.

              Go look at Leonard's resume & give me ten good fighters he fought.

                Floyd: 130, 135, 140, 147, 154. vs John Ruiz? LOL

                Floyd is T.B.E.

                    Historically, due to RJJ's 28 year career being 50% as a journeyman (14 years past prime), i'd rather have Floyd's career. 100% of Floyd's career, he was an elite fighter, fighting at the top level. The worst part of Floyd's career was his very last fight against an MMA fighter, otherwise he had a flawless career. Floyd was the better fighter in history. Roy should've retired at 35 years old after edging Tarver.
