Who is the last boxer to be better than Pacquiao?

[Hulk]

Will there be another Roy Jones ? Probably not. Stopped Virgil Hill with a body shot.

[:::PSL:::]

Roy Jones Jr no doubt.

I don't think you can say Roy Jones Jr, he never beat the same caliber of guys as Mayweather or pacquiao. Floyd actually going up to 154 and Manny fighting at 150 easily match or surpass Roy going to heavyweight consdering where they started and who they have been fighting. Roy honestly doesn't have the career to back him up if he was to be compared to these two, and I think if they met p4p he would lose because he never trained like these two do, he simply relied too much on things that these two have to almost equal degree as him which is speed, coordination and reflexes. Mayweather would outbox him, and Pacquiao would outfight him in an amazing fight. I mean just listen to people who have seen all the fighters of the past 30 plus years and they all say that nobody has been like Manny offensively. And statiscally nobody even Whitaker and Roy Jones have even come close to comparing to Floyd's defensive skill. I think you would honestly have to look at the very top guys ever to find guys in the same league as Floyd and Manny, and though I have Roy pretty high on my list in his prime, I don't think he or Whitaker truly had the opposition or all roundedness these two have developed. Whitaker didn't have that great speed, and he got hit a lot more than Floyd does, and he didn't have the offensive ability to dominate the same way Manny has. Roy has all the physical gifts, but he was more in there to put on a show than truly get down to business and I think his level opposition allowed for that, but it didn't force Roy to be the fighter he was capable of being, and it showed against some of the guys he faced.

if in terms of athleticism and skill and not accomplishments i will agree roy jones jr. is definitely it in my opinion.

[rjj tszyu]

Easy. Roy Jones!

[Taeth]

boxing is about more than just speed and skill though, and Roy doesn't have the skill of Mayweather and he lacked the tenacity of Pacquiao. Without one or the other he's missing something that puts them on a different level, also the fact they work way harder than him in the gym.

RJJ was so dominant that he made it look as if the guys he was fighting shouldn't have been anywhere near a ring. Even though over half of them went on to hold at least one of the major belts which should count for something. Someone also said some bullshit about RJJ not working hard in the gym or being as good defensively.

Who was the last fighter to go an entire round without being hit? Roy Jones Jr.
Also I think you can count one hand how many times Prime RJJ was hit flush.

Not working hard in the GYM? Nobody stays p4p 1 for as long as Roy did without putting in serious gym time. But that's irrelevant to the question because no matter how hard one works in the gym, both pac and floyd would be kayoed inside of 6, p4p vs RJJ because he had way more power and speed.

No one in recent history has done what Pacquaio is doing, which is tear through the weight classes crushing the best fighter in each division with an exciting style. I cant believe people are even bringing up B Hop. There is a reason when Hop was middleweight no one cared about him. He had the worst style and most boring fights. For RJJ, he didnt always fight the best. I cant really think of another fighter that is doing what Pac is doing. If he moves up and beats the winner of martinez/williams I would have him as best fighter of all time.

Well, after last night David Haye takes that accolade. In 3 ferocious rounds he only got hit once by the 'always dangerous' Audley Harrison. What a hero.
