Pavlik have a lot of the same qualities, but Id say Pavlik is better at almost all of them. Froch has huge heart tho and a lot of determination. Pavs resume clowns Frochs too.
I thought it was funny enough Mayweather sayin "Im gonna shout out my sponsors that 7 figures" " Then 3 seconds later when he gets asked about giving Marquez $600,000 " Im not here to talk about money". I really enjoy watching him fight, but hes a total crybaby little bitch outside the ring. Its only because Im black that people criticize me for fighting a much smaller opponent.
How you fight from Super Featherweight to Junior Middleweight and not fight bigger opponents?...Lol okay?
Floyd going up to Junior Middleweight is the equivalent of Jones going up to Heavyweight?
The only difference was that floyd fought the Lineal Champion there and Roy Jones fought for an Alphabet titleagainst John Ruiz. And this is coming from a Jones nuthugge and trust me i def favor Jones over Mayweather anytime.
Not really Floyd went up 24lbs from his debut Jones went up about twice that.
Equivalent as is in number of weight classes.
I understood what you were saying, I just think its more impressice in terms of actual weight gained. To gain 50lbs and still be effective is almost unheard of. 24lbs is still impressive, but its more common.
Yeah every year we see a Super Featherweight going up to Junior Middleweight.
:lol1: I know what you mean though. It's much more difficult to go up 50lbs than 24lbs from where you initially started.
I didnt say it was common just more common. I dont think it had been over 100 years since someone won belts over 24lbs.
It doesnt help that a lot of the posters nowadays only boxing knowledge comes from Fight Night. Most of the rest think that if a fight isnt Gatti-Ward it sucked, somebody was exposed, they ran, they're pussies etc. Honestly less than half of the people on here understand anything about actual boxing and are more interested in watching street fights.
We hear this shit before every big fight and it matters about 50% of the time which means it actually doesnt mean shit.Hatton got beat up in sparring and lost, Mayweather got beat up in sparring and pitched a shutout.
I dont know about being in Roys shadow, but no matter what happens BHop will never overshadow Roy. I dont even like BHop, but he has huge balls for fighting Roy now. Roy has everything to win and nothing to lose.
it's not too different.
fighters all talk/act differently.
some are quiet. some are loud. some are humble. some are arrogant.
he stated he lost respect for roy because of the smack talk and later on he loss.
Thats the part where I'll have to make up some bullshit. I think Roy is a helluva salesman, he is actually generating interest in a fight between him and top fighters, when in all actuality he doesnt belong in the ring with the top of the sport. The man is a genius, he picked a fighter he could look great against and looked amazing. Hes selling himself and people are buying, at the least people should respect his brilliance.
Are you gonna act you haven't been pumped up by ''Can't be touched''?
I actually prefer the song with Juvenile and Choppa. " I woulda reminded Hopkins if money wasnt a problem"
and?
roy has always been that way.
the guy is old and misses the limelight.
do you have respect for ali?
ali talked crap about holmes and berbick. holmes and berbick whooped his ass.
Thats completely different, as soon as Im not too high to make up some bullshit I'll tell you why.

On the speed bag he has a great sense of rhythm, but does anyone if he actually boxes? To me it looks like he doesnt, he just looks like a guy with a good sense of rhythm whos really good on the speed bag.
i don't think roy needs money.
i think roy just misses all the attention.
he better burn that damn pirate costume he wore to promote the lacy fight though. :lol1:
I hear a lot of people sayin BHop takes fighters souls, I was thinkin if the fight gets signed he could dress up like a vampire somethin. Then he could finally retire when he ran out of Halloween costumes.
Two fo my all time favorites, but its not too fair. Tommy at WW is a true beast and hes no slouch at 168, but Roy at 168 is as close to unbeatable as Ive ever seen.
