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.

Originally posted by daggum View Postfor people saying floyd is a better boxer...based on what? beating weaker competition for longer? that seems to be your argument cause when you look at their best wins....its not close. could floyd ever dominate toney or hopkins? he never even fought guys with those styles so how do we know? does he get fantasy points for not doing it? he should have lost to castillo when he was in his prime. you think a slow predictable fighter like that gets close to beating prime jones? i think you are placing entirely too much emphasis on longevity but where is the quality? boxing is not about averages. basically what you are saying is that vince carter is better than jordan cause vince played longer. stop
