Roy Jones and Floyd : who was more dominant in their prime?

There's no comparison.

Roy Jones is the most talented fighter of all time. To paraphrase the end of "The Babe"...

"He's the best, he's the best there's ever been."

Jones was the more dominate and more dynamic fighter. Mayweather the better fighter. Floyd actually knows how to fight. Jones never bothered learning. He didn't have too. He was that far more talented than everybody else.

Mayweather.

RJJs career at the top lasted about 10 years (based on winning a world title until decline) 1993-2003.

Floyd's started in 1998 and he's still going now, 15 years on. He still gets hit just as little as he did before, in fact in the Guerrero fight they said he got hit less than some of his fights when he was in his 20's.

That's crazy.. Floyd started in 98 and let's say u had a baby in the same year. if Floyd dominates till 2018 which is only 5 years from now, then your baby would be a 20 year old man and Floyd still be dominating!

By then, it would be hard to argue against floyd being the greatest ever

If you mean that Roy was the most physically talented fighter of all time, I might could go with you there... his physical skills were amazing. However, it is his disdain for conventional boxing that hurt him later in his career, so I can't necessarily call him the most talented fighter of all time. Talented guys, in my opinion, can fight past their prime and still win when they don't get caught. Roy was NOT Roy in the 3rd Tarver fight... mostly because the very aura of invincibility and his own belief in his own invincibility was gone. Since then, he is not the same fighter. I would actually argue that Mayweather has more smarts and talent inside of the ring, but Roy was much more physically gifted than Floyd is.
