Floyd easy to me.
Roy was a superb athlete, great reflexes but prime Floyd lasted for so long because his boxing mind was superb. Defense was superb. Counter punching was second to none, great footwork, great ring generalship. Floyd was a monster.
roy was a much better counter puncher than floyd mayweather.

:dahell: fam, NO ONE was a "much better counterpuncher" than Floyd Mayweather. How would you even gauge a large margin at that level

If anything theyd be even or one would have a slight edge.

i thought floyd was always a little biased to his check hook and his pull counter. but roy threw every counter, and they were all bombs.

He had Toney missing on the outside..on the inside, countering him on the inside..toney was undefeated and p4p #1...commentators were on edge and didn't want to give Roy full credit until it was obvious he was superior...lol

Montell Griffin had Roy Jones frustrated and he was in his 20s....
Castillo's body of work > Griffin's

Lou De Valle also dropped Roy - when he was in his prime.

I'm just saying...he barely got by...they keep bringing up how Floyd is skilled in his late 30s. We all know this. In his prime..there is no equal to Roy Jones though.

Roy had him beat before the DQ

De Valle didn't stand a chance..now go count who lost more rounds in their 20s between Roy and Floyd...loll
