True or False: Prime Roy Jones jr was on another level than Prime Floyd?

[darius45]

Was Roy just on another level the way Floyd is another another than someone like Thurman... Or was the gap smaller?

I was watching old videos of Floyd before he became Money Mayweather, and he was very quick and flashy too an extent, but I don't think he could physically pull off the same things in the ring that Prime Roy could. Roy didn't just seem faster but he seemed more explosive from a stand still... I never saw Floyd fire off 3, 4 left hooks like Roy either (where it looks like a big cat swiping its paw), or put his hands behind his back, or do those leaping hooks with his arm completely down hanging.

Most people would say Floyd fought tougher competition while in his prime and out.

Has nothing to do with nostalgia.. Just go back and watch videos of Roy in his prime and Floyd in his prime pretty boy days. I'm simply talking pure natural ability and talent.

Floyd always says he has "god given talent" then what does that say about Roy then if Roy is on another level than even Floyd.

Prime v Prime it's even for skill and speed with RJJ having the edge in power.

But technically Floyd owns him. RJJ had incredible physical gifts but once time eroded those he became vulnerable in a way Floyd never was.

Roy looked great beating up mediocre opposition and a weight drained james toney. He was a world class fighter but people exaggerate his ability so much, floyds resume is way better and i never saw him get ktfo either. Roy wasnt even that old but then the excuses started rolling in. Calzaghe made him look like a novice lol

Maybe even for skill but how is it even for speed, you can SEE the difference in the videos.
