Sugar ray Robinson was on a different level skill wise..like perfect knocout punch and so on...he could do everything Box,Brawl,Speed power precision and so on.

with that said,Roy is more flashier just like floyd...but doesnt mean if u are flashier that u would beat somebody who is not...But Roy jones was a special and a very rare fighter and perhaps we would never see another jones again..

lmao, so Roy and Floyd are just flash?

You have no idea wtf you are talking about, honestly. If you can't tell the difference between skill and flash when it comes to two of the most skilled fights ever in Floyd and Roy, then you're straight talking out of your ass.

And wtf is with Floyd being flashy? I never see him as flashy in the ring. Unless you're referring to his out of the ring antics.

I can't believe some of these responses.

Not even a prime RJJ and look at the skills.

floyd more flashier than robinson?
ray would leap with a left hook and double it up

floyddoes'nt waste any movements, everything is for a reason and sometimes his fights will become boring due to that
seriously, people will overrate the guy because of the "GOAT" ranking he holds
like "robinson could do it al, he was perfect, best fighter of all time"

robinson got tagged alot, his headmovement was virtually non-existent
his jab is also not on par with jones's or floyds
jones and floyd just didn't/don't get hit
i know it's just your opinion
but as much as robinson has had a great career and how legendary his achievements are etc, we should'nt overrate him so much

In There Prime?

In their prime......I would have to say Roy Jones jr.

Ray Robinson ducked a few fighters when he was a champion.

[ChampBox@PR]

Why people confuse flashyness with skills?? I dont understand!!

Anyways SRR was more skilled than RJJ. Roy was more athletic, but that is not a skill thats a atribute, like Maidana's toughness or Gatti's heart!


SRR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RJJ

[CarlosG815]

was I denying that Roy Jones was one of the most skilled fighters ever? NO

silly wanker. I was merely pointing out the ******ity of Wazaa's claim that Roy was 'easily' more skilled than Robinson.

I've seen more Roy fights than you buddy, and i bet you haven't seen 1 Lamotta fight cause to claim Roy would trounce him 15-0 is idiocy.....

go troll somewhere else

No better way to seal the fact that you're an idiot than by making such assumptions as you have, "mate."

I think it's pretty easy to see that Roy is easily the more skilled fighter.

Nice list you got there, buddy. You are aware that Henry Armstrong was:

1 - A featherweight
2 - At the end of his career
3 - Significantly smaller than Robinson
4 - was not knocked out

You probably didn't know that, because you obviously just speak out of your ass.

Big names on a resume don't mean **** if they're at the tail end.

And if you think it's idiotic to believe that RJJ would embarrass Lamotta, then you really have no idea what you're talking about.

Jake used his face for defense and would find it impossible to ever hit a guy like RJJ. If you think Jake is even close to RJJ's level of skill you're delusional and to believe he would beat Roy is even more idiotic.

[swizz]

1 - That's not true, RJJ beats him in a decision.

2 - The question is "Who was more skilled?" Not "Who's greater?" or "Who would win in a fight?"

maybe so ray knocks him out

you know jake could take a punch and he is better than the version they have a fight night rd4 and by the way i like roy but he avoided alot of fighters while all timers took on all comers
