Jr. vs Jr. Prolly an easy question but....

[Julius Rain]

Roy Jones the King jr

vs

Pretty boy floyd Mayweather jr.

Who is better? pound for pound and legacy?

[Kev]

Right now I'm saying Roy.

Capturing titles from middleweight all the way up to heavyweight is an incredible feat.

And aside from Mike Tyson no boxer ever looked better beating up B list opponents than Roy Jones.

Mayweather is a defensive master and an awesome fighter, but Roy Jones had an offensive arsenal that was simply dazzling to behold.

Still Floyd's unbeaten run is impressive and he's still going. He could yet overtake Roy providing he doesnt' lose.

I think by the time Mayweather finishes his career he will have better legacy but at the moment Roy Jones Jr obvisiously.

yea roy by far but floyd beating hatton will move him a step closer. floyd has a long way to get there though, and it could end at cotto or mosley. Roy had no rivals in his prime, they couldn't compare to him not even bhop or james toney. floyd has one to many welterweights in his prime that can suprise him with a beating. goodluck to floyd though

Its hard to say... both have similar levels of opposition, both are amazingly fast, but ROy Jones Jr. because of his athleticism could make even the highest level of competition look easy. Technically there hasn't been anyone like Floyd Mayweather jr., but despite the fact he is a great athlete, he isn't the same athlete Roy Jones Jr. was, and there has never been an athlete like Roy Jones Jr. in the sport. If they fought p4p I would vote for Roy Jones Jr. based on what I saw with Mayweather against Oscar. However I believe Mayweather has a run of big fights in the near future. He is in the most skill packed division with nowhere to go, and I think he isn't scared to stay and fight the welterweights. IMO Mayweather has a chance to have a record that will put him in the top 20 p4p of almost anyone, but he still has Mosley, Margarito, Williams, Cotto, maybe later on Berto inbetween him and that stature.

Roy easily. He beat far better fighters than Mayweather has.


Roy is the greatest of this passing era IMO.

Roy is the greatest of this passing era IMO.

He lost his ass to Antonio Tarver a couple times, and even got sparked out by Glen "the Journeyman," Johnson.


Don't get me wrong, Roy is an all time great, but Mayweather has world titles in 5 different weight classes at 30 years old, is still undefeated, and is taking on undefeated world champion Ricky Hatton in his next fight.



Trust me, bro.........................






30 years from now, you will be telling people that you witnessed one of the greatest fighters of all time in his prime

[CutMeMick]

As of today RJJ.


By the time PBF retires it might be different.

[SalTheButcher]

roy jones is the greatest of all time

[yoitsdan]

At Middleweight Roy seemed invincincible, even more so than Floyd at any weightclass.

[boozeboxer]

PBF hasn't fought anyone close to B-Hop or Toney.

[Julius Rain]

PBF hasn't fought anyone close to B-Hop or Toney.

he has fought oscar

[CutMeMick]

he has fought oscar

Good point.
Tho most people will say RJJ met Hop & Toney at their best when they were young.
While PBF met an aged ODLH, which me personally I don't buy. I think ODLH had as good and better of a chance as the rest of PBF's opponents.

[boozeboxer]

Oscar isnt nearly as good as Toney or B-Hop. Period. Hell an old B-Hop is better than a prime OScar. Oscar should stick to metro and promoting or to taking dives.
