ROY JONES & MAYWEATHER = Same Career Moves -( DIFFERENT Treatment!!!)

[RichCCFC]

Put this into perspective.

SFW - WW = 17 lbs.

LMW - Heavyweight = 46 lbs.

Nice try but you fail.

[El Dominicano]

I don't get it...wasn't the reason why people hated Floyd cuz he called himself the best WW...if RJJ called himself the best H.W...then why don't they give him ****?

When did RJ ever say he was the best HW? When Larry IV'd him after the Ruiz fight he said flat out he just did this to make history, not to launch a full blown HW campaign. He said he wasn't interested in fightin Byrd or Holy at HW, and I don't recall Lennox even bein mentioned. He wanted to use his HW belt as bargainin leverage for a big $ fight wit Tyson, that I do remember him sayin. And when that fight didn't happen, he went back down to 175 to reclaim his throne and answer the challenge of Tarver, the man who was tellin everybody who'd listen that Roy was duckin him.

[Sin City]

Roy fought the best, Mayweather (outside of lightweight) didn't.

• How many Prime Undefeated highly ranked fighters did Roy beat to be consider top 20 All time before John Ruiz?????
• How Many Lineal Championships did he have to be consider top 20 All time before John Ruiz?????
• Who did Roy beat besides toney and Hopkins to be consider top 20 All time before John Ruiz?????
• From 1995 - 2002 What top 10 P4P fighter did roy beat to be consider top 20 All time before John Ruiz?????

The Reason Roy is so Highly reguarded is because he rose from middleweight to heavyweight over the course of 9 years.

More than a few eyebrow were raised over that, especially due to the fact that Jones had allegedly tested positive for steroids before.


But to floyd though..

Ok would you be mad if Floyd came back and went back down to 135 or 140.

The point being people dont give Roy **** for going back down to Light
heavyweight even though he didnt clean out the Hw when he said he was the best. But yet, They act like this is the first time in history a fighters is doing what floyd has done. which is not clean out his 4th or 5th weight division.

LOL
since when does being "undefeated" make you the best.. you can stack a record with bums and be undefeated.
Nice way to try and weasel yourself out of that one though.. but again you FAIL.

when it comes to record: Roy Jones > Mayweather.

It's not what title you fight for.. it's who you beat.

[TonyJ]

The welterweight division was Mayweathers 4th division
The Heavyweight Division was Roy's 3rd/4th Division
(3rd division he held a belt in)

Roy fighting at Light heavyweight is not equivalent to floyd fighting at welterweight because WW is floyd's 4th division and LHW is Roy's 3rd...

From SFW - WW 17 pounds
From MW - HW (KLitschko and Lennox cause you mention them) ~85 pounds

YOu still see no difference??

[Horus]

Doesn't matter really does it? Your body grows, the difference between weight classes in the lower weights is smaller anyway (e.g Lightweight to LW = 5 lbs).

Roy Jones
Light Heavyweight (172 lb+)

From 1996 to 2003
Roy fought at LHW
Roy turn pro in 1993...

So what does that tell you????


It means that Roy was a Natural Light Heavyweight

Floyd Mayweather

From 1996 - 2002
Floyd fought at Super Feather Weight
Floyd turn pro in 1996

what what does that tell you?

It means that Floyd was a Natural Super featherweight

[Ryn0]

With respect Horus, you seem to forget how Roy was treated in his prime, he was seen as a ducker same as Floyd is now. They hated him for not fighting anyone "worthy" He was treated much like Floyd was/is treated. Only when he was far removed from his prime do people really see how magnificent Roy really was, it will be the same with Floyd you just have to wait until he retires or falls from boxing stardom (aka loses because he is shot) until he gets the respect he deserves

I always thougt that if Floyd lost...then he'd get his respect. Weird ain't it...cuz people want to see him lose
