        Did Roy think he was gonna have that forever? or how he had his hands low against Glenn and Tarver? These things deteriorate

        I got nothing but love for SRL...but he delt with the same crap also

          Cuz he is an average fighter. Like B-Hop said "RJJ didn't learn the basics"
          ali depended on his speed and reflexes in his prime.

          when he aged......he was easier to hit and beat. he , like roy , depended on his movement and quickness for defense and ali never really had a good defense except for clinching.

          does that mean ali was an average fighter?

          at least ali had his granite chin to fall back on. roy's chin is good but not great.

It takes more then an athlete to beat Floyd

            Not taking anything away from a prime RJJ but on a P4P match up against Floyd

            Floyd >>>> RJJ
            nice attempt but im not falling for the bait. anyone with a slight amount of boxing knowledge know mayweather gets beat down.

              pacquiao without his speed is just an average fighter.

              foreman without his power is just an average fighter.

              ali without his footwork is just an average fighter.

              you can't say stuff like that , el.

              roy is what he is. you can't say take away his natural attributes and say he's just an average fighter.

              take away everyone's strengths and they're just average fighters.

                When has he gotten beat down. Mayweather has beaten his opponents where he was expected to lose at...at their own game. I respect Roy and I didn't want to be harsh...but Floyd don't deserve this kind of disrespect

                    Roy DOMINATED every opponent in his prime
                    Mayweather EEKed out wins in his prime..

                    I mean, Roy made every1 look like ****.. Even the number 1 p4p fighter Toney.. That was his best victory..

                    Floyd, barely got by DLH man..
                    Floyd does the least amount of work to win..
