Man, i'm watchin roy jones beyond the glory. and he reminds me so much of floyd now, i mean he wasnt looked apon as a great fighter untill very late in his life, i mean look what these two guys have done, they both control the fights and brake down other fighters and either win almost ever round to a 12round fight OR takes them out late. And it dont seem to matter who the other guy in the ring is, it just wasnt good enough.... Roy beats Hopkins and people say it wasnt good enough win for him, he beats down james toney and everyone says he was struggling from weight and this wasnt a real win for roy either, griffin wins by DQ and everyone says this is how you beat roy, so they fight again and Griffin is out cold in the first round. But still nothing was good enough for me media or the fans, so roy eventually moves up to heavyweight and wins everyround against John Ruiz, who dont get me wrong isnt a great but is still a heavyweight and much much bigger man... and people because this wasnt a lewis or a tyson or a klit say "No roy this is not enough" so he moves to lightheavy and barely beats traver and then gets knocked out
Floyd beats guys in every divison he was in, beats people that all the non-floyd fans, or the nut huggers as the fans are called, he beats bigger guys like roy, beats them down, hurts them, takes them out, goes 12 rounds without losing rounds.
This is just my random thots because i got told to go home early from work, and they were being dicks so im writing angry lol
And yea floyd is known for knocking guys out early when he first started, because the people that dnt like floyd says he only knocked guys out when he first started boxing. in his first 27 fights he won 20 by ko or tko
nobody said thats how you beat roy when he got DQ'd, thats just stupid
They were saying in the fight during it, this is the first time we have seen roy really lose rounds, this is how you fight roy, have a "weird" style and make roy think alot and dnt let him just get off the shots he wants and thats wat griffin was doing, roy was also said not to fight the best fighters out their, and when roy fought b-hop and everyone said b-hop wasnt at his peak.........neither was roy
roy was known for stopping his opponents in the early rounds in his prime
floyd wasnt
bernard hopkins was young and hadn't reached his peak
nobody said thats how you beat roy when he got DQ'd, thats just stupid
