Hopkins, Tate, Toney, Paz, McCallum, Hill all ATG all HOF bound all dangerous when Roy beat them handily......Finished those who he did when he wanted...As far as the skillset of Judah?...Zab has mental breakdowns deciding to buy one or two ply bathroom tissue so the skills are only good when used....I have top go with Roy by KO.....IMO he waits for Floyd to try and counter times him drops him Floyd gets up Roy too quick to allow him to hold and catches him again for the stoppage as Floyd tries to grab on.....If he tries the high defense Roy breaks the body down....

Ask Virgil Hill how hard Roy bangs the body

Put it this way James Toney used shoulder roll like FMJ, and was also a master counter puncher. Yet he was embarrassed over 12 rounds, FMJ couldn't stand in the pocket vs RJJ, nor could he be the aggressor because RJJ hit too damn hard.
Hey Guys, I hope you don't mind I reply with one post to both of these.
Roy was amazing- gifted in every department, He was incredible.

But when matching up these hypothetical fights and trying to solve the p4p puzzle I always ask myself who's attributes would I rather have myself.
I'll give them relatively equal or similar levels of athleticism, intelligence and ring generalship.

So would I prefer;
Roy's speed and power
or
Mayweather's defensive skills and precision.


So maybe this is the boxing idealist in me, but I would prefer the more polished skill set and precise boxing.
The idea of pugilism is skills over physicality so out of sheer stubborness I refuse to pick Roy
