Roy did beat and embarrass James Toney and a young BHop...and he moved up in weight to beat a heavyweight

Roy was faster
Roy had more punching power
Roy was just as good a boxer as Floyd at his peak

Most of the great fighters do, though, from Joe Lewis, to Ali, to Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Holmes, Tyson and the list goes on and on...but when I look at these 2 fighters at their best, I can't say Floyd was a better fighter than Roy

Burt Sugar regarded Roy Jones as one of the top 10 fighters of al-time

I know other fights have said Roy was the most gifted fighter they've ever seen

Yes, Floyd is w/o question the more accomplished fighter of the two but that doesn't necessarily mean he was a better fighter
