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

--- Nah, that's just you losing your wad of cash.

Traver cleaned up in the rematch and Glen Jones took out the trash afterwards.

Both are exceptional talents but Floys always had to stack the deck in his favor before he fought anybody, I take Roy Jones.

Not before the Dela Hoya fight. Afterwards I agree.

Roy was definitely on a more dynamic level and Floyd lost in his prime to a tough plodder. Roy never came close to losing to a guy like that at his best. Prime Roy was unreal. And lmfao at these haters trying to say he has a weak resume'. That's just your hate talking. They're both all time greats but Roy's peak was higher. Career-wise Floyd has had a better run overall but was never seen as totally unbeatable like Roy was.

Hopkins was still very green and not in his prime yet and Toney was badly weight drained when he fought Roy. This is well documented. If Hopkins had fought Roy in 98' or 99' it would have been a much closer and competitive fight.

Baloney. One can make any fighter's win a contingency. The bottom line is Roy beat two guys when they were in their prime fighting times.

His only win at his best was Toney. After that he lost to Traver and the rest. Floyd remained undefeated.

I don't consider that to be Hopkins prime. Prime doesn't mean young age, it means when you are at your pinnacle two different things. Hopkins is fine wine he gotten better with age. That Hopkins that defeated Tito would had beaten Roy.

Fine so Roy beaten James Toney and Hopkins. Still not better than Floyd resume at all.

In hindsight is that we question Roy’s technique and abilities.

While he was doing it, the same
Man that toyed with Hopkins, Toney, Hill etc was just another level.

My favorite Floyd fights are vs Manfreddy and Corrales, and technically Floyd is another level.

But Floyd wasn’t that person that just bullied and beat the hell out of everybody.

Castillo beat Floyd, in fact the fight wasn’t even close.

In Roy’s prime, no fight was close, he destroyed everybody.

IMO there is nothing Floyd could do that Roy couldn't if he wanted to. However Floyd never had the explosive power of Roy. Not taking anything away from Floyd who at the lower weights was an amazing fighter.

--- Tyny Jesus Chavez was beating TUE a new one before he was pulled by his celebrity trainer.

That was the Template for the bigger, stinger Castillo who had be KOed 3x before.

Then the Judah debacle where Roger storms the ring to start a ring Brawl. Fighters are DQed when their trainers jump on the Ring apron, a clear DQ loss, but not for TUE in Vegas.

Nonsense. Roy also beat ATG Hopkins when they were both close to prime years and went on to unify the LHW title, incl beating Tarver when he was already shot and beat a heavyweight for a title. The undefeated record isn't everything. And Floyd really lost in his prime to Castillo and Roy didn't lose til he was 35.
