So in terms of p4p, legacy, and resume when you look at all 3 who comes out on top? PBF, Pac, or RJJ? All 3 have held the p4p crown and has beaten some damn good opposition, along with who has the better legacy?
My vote goes to Roy. The man never lost a fight in his prime and was dominating nor was he in controversial fights where boxing fans have argued on the legitimacy of a win. I can't say that with Pac and PBF. P4P I say he was more dominating than both Pac and PBF and I say he whips them both in a p4p matchup. The only thing I will concede is that overall resume Pac and PBF is better than Roy, but Roy has a win over prime and undefeated Toney, not to mentioned Hopkins. People keep on saying Hopkins wasn't prime but guess what neither was Roy at the time when they met. Pac's and PBF's 2 greatest wins still don't equal Roy's 2 greatest wins. Not to mentioned Roy is the 2nd MW to ever win a HW crown.
A lot of people have said Pac lost to JMM in at least 1 of the 2 fights (some say both), and a lot of people have said Floyd lost to Castillo in their 1st fight. But prime Roy didn't have a controversial win like that. Key word here is prime if someone wants to bring up Roy's controversial win over Tarver in the 1st fight, that wasn't prime Roy. And the DQ he got over Griffin in the 1st fight was a great acting job by Griffin.
Discuss.
