Who was the more skillful fighter - Prime Roy Jones Jr. or Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

[Vadrigar.]

Steroids, unnatural couldn't beat Montell fairly.

Both on steroids/PEDs you idiot.

Their styles were so different that it would be unfair to compare one to the other. One was flashy, one was grounded. Both awesome fighters.

[HandsofIron]

Mayweather Jr. was the more skillful and better fighter. Jones Jr. was overrated as hell.

[FinitoxDinamita]

Of course floyd is more skilled.

But Jones doesnt get enough credit for his boxing skills. He isnt just a freak of nature athlete. Roy jones had mad skills.

[Shane1]

[Shane1]

Hes the best, the best around town

[Larry the boss]

Skillful was Floyd
Freakishly athletic was Roy

[Metho_4u]

Of course floyd is more skilled.

But Jones doesnt get enough credit for his boxing skills. He isnt just a freak of nature athlete. Roy jones had mad skills.

I don't think the debate was that Jones didn't have plenty of skill, but floyd was always a more cerebral fighter, put his skill together, and only used what was required in a given situation to win. Either way, both are ATGs, Floyd never lost, fought the best and his skill prolonged his career.
