Tell me that THIS is not the MOST TALENTED fighter that has ever lived

THIS is not the MOST TALENTED fighter that has ever lived


Out of Prime Roy got embarrassed by fighters with less talent.

Muhammad ALI was able to win During his Prime and out of prime againts equally talented fighters. Knowing how to win is a talent too.

Didn't Ali lose to Leon Spinks and Trevor Berbick? I see no losses on Jones record to fighters as subpar as that

Prime for prime and p4p I think Roy would have beaten Floyd.

If Zab Judah's speed gave Floyd problems for 4 rounds a prime Jones Jr would have been much much harder to handle.

It would surely be a fight for the ages, but my money would be on Roy Jones to outwork Floyd Mayweather and confuse him to win a decision,

Ali was able to reverse the spinks fight. Ali was able to beat the best fighters during his prime and during the time he was out of prime.

Ali was more telented than Roy IMO.

I agree Roy beats PBF. Isnt Floyd the upgraded version of James Toney? Toney was shut out but i think FLoyd wins 4 rounds max. Roy is one of the most talented but not the most talented IMO.

Floyd had no problems with Judah's speed. In fact I think the most bothered he has been lately was by Hatton and it was Hatton's footspeed that was deceptively fast imo. Mayweather lost 3 of the first 4 rounds but there was never a sense of panic, it was just Mayweather took some time to figure things out. He was in complete control no doubt he just chose not to pull the trigger quite as much.

Also, when Miron_Lang brings up Ali, they aren't talking about that out of prime Ali, they are talking about the Ali that beat Frazier and Foreman. Obviously Ali's prime was before his self-imposed exile. Once he returned it was pretty obvious from the While I wouldn't say Ali was the better fighter (not sure, he seems to be strangely underrated sometimes in threads like these), he definitely was able to adapt better to losing some of his physical advantages then Jones was.
