P4P at their peak Roy is many levels higher. But overall Manny should be ranked higher. Manny accomplished more. 4 legit lineal titles and a legit 7 division champ. Roy has the better prime wins over James Toney and Bernard Hopkins but overall Manny has a better resume as a whole. Both got planked lol.

Manny clearly has the better resume, but Roy was such a special talent that the case could be made for him, regardless. Depends on what you prefer.

Personally I’d say Roy Jones just based on talent alone. He had a far more dominant prime from 93-03. The Toney win is better than any singular win on Pacquiao’s resume too IMO.
Pacquiao’s P4P exploits are and resume are exceptional, I have no issue if people see things the other way, both are in my top 10 ATG’s who are all pretty much interchangeable dependant on criteria and personal preference.

RJJ was physically gifted fighter who dominated a relatively weak era. however, when his reflexes betrayed him, he started losing to every bum and their neighbor. Great boxing instincts but didn’t adapt and evolve his boxing IQ. Hard to rank him really high all time, much less above pacquiao

I'd say Roy Jones. Sure Manny has accomplished more but at the same time you have to ask, how often were the doors of Manny's accomplishments held open for him?

You might pause to think for a second. But then the answer is clear.
I won't even say the name, as it's clear who is.
But whose the best American out of RJJ, BH and Floyd would be better.
I would have RJJ no1, than bh and then Floyd 3rd.Last edited by hugh grant; 07-04-2020, 04:37 AM.
