At one time roy jones may have been considered greater than ali, just because of the fact how dominant he was in his prime. he never had an off night, never was in trouble in any fight and dominated future legends like hopkins and toney. I don't see any fighter past or present beating him even sugar ray robinson (due to the fact that he was a welterweight). Floyd even though is an all time great, I believe lost the first castillo fight, had a little trouble with Jesus Chavez, and got stunned by Corley. I can think of a number of fighters who may have a good shot at beating floyd such as duran, julio cesar chavez, whitaker, benny leonard, willie pep. besides sugar ray robinson I think went about a 107 fights without a loss and was undefeated as an amateur. Floyd lost the olympic gold as an amateur and his first pro loss is coming on May 5.
