roy gets the nod easily because of how he dominated everybody in every weight class that he fought...the man so good that they compare and wonder how he, a fucking man that started at LMW (154) would fair against the great heavy's of all time (5 weight classes north)... which to me in itself is a subconscious admission that roy would beat anyone in history that's not a true heavy...also

not once have i heard anyone make an absurd assumption that floyd would stand a chance in the ring with the great middles , BHOP, HAGLER, MONZON, JAMES TONEY, MW ROY JONES, and son on...please IMO this isn't close
