Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Pacquiao Leaves an Absolutely Marvelous Legacy, Will Not Regret Loss To Mayweather

[BodyBagz]

Roy, you nailed it. I've always said for the last few years , Ali, Duran , Robinson, Pacquiao, and Ray Leonard are the top 5 of all time. Chavez, Jones, Louis, Sanchez, Hagler rounding out the top 10.

May would go undefeated if he had Pac's resume.

AT that time, Who is Mayweather to demand anything. They were both at the top, so why would any one of them want to concede anything.

''Conceding'' to random blood tests is a deal breaker ???
He was ok when he had time to prepare.

As we saw, May went on to have the better more lucrative career. Was p4p king and it wasn't even close.

I disagree a bit with Roys one sided description of the mayweather-pac saga but its cool to see Roy call it how he sees it instead of just always taking the side of the american or of the black fighter. He was impressed with usyk and riding his nuts last weekend. it was cool that he just didnt automatically back the black guy but called it how he saw it

"He was trying to make it happen but couldn't until Mayweather agreed to it. It's nothing that he has to regret."

False

May made it happen in Miami.

He made bogus excuses about the Floyd fight, he begged for a rematch, he kept throwing jabs at Floyd which proved he still isn't over the loss. Yeah, he regrets the Mayweather loss.

If they were both equal, why did Floyd make a lot more money that PAC?
Why is Floyd’s PPV numbers much higher than PAC?

Regardless of how you feel about either fighter or how you feel about the fight or its aftermath, there is one thing that is as clear as it gets and that’s the fact that Floyd avoided the fight for a very long time. There’s just no other side to it.

When the fight was discussed for the very first time their star power was equal. PPV numbers were essentially the same except the DLH fight. It started to diverge a bit as time went on though and some of that had to do with the opponents and also Floyd developing a cult following amongst blacks. He comes back to fight a YouTuber and 500k blacks rushed to give him their money.

Pinoys do likewise with Pac
