How can Floyd think he is better than Roy Jones? Does he literally think he is better?

[El_Mero]

Hes not. RJJ is head and shoulders above FMJ. Talent and career wise

[LeOoze]

Floyd fought Conor McGregor a 0-0 non boxer

0% risk

On his last fight....RJJ was cherry picking in his prime. LMAO. Have you seen his resume? He fought Richard Frazier, a literal police officer, when he was at 175. When did Floyd in his prime ever cherry pick like that in his fight?

On his last fight....

Oh so thats the official Floyd boy excuse

I don't care if he cherrypicked him in the middle of his career

You said Floyd cherry picked harder than Roy. How is that true? Floyd fought 16 world champions in a row. Roy fought bums in his prime.

He was, that’s why

If Roy Jones Junior stopped fighting after he dropped back down to light Heavyweight from Heavyweight, and beat Antonio Tarver. There is no question, that his achievements and best wins are all better than Floyd Mayweather's.

Floyd Mayweather Junior has no comparable achievement that rivals, Roy Jones Junior winning the WBA Heavyweight title vs John Ruiz. That achievement was a impressive physical feat 'Unprecedented'.

Floyd Mayweather Junior, does not have a better win that Bernard Hopkins or James Toney.

Floyd Mayweather Junior was not undisputed Champion in any weight class.

Floyd Mayweather Junior is the greatest fighter of his generation, THE generation that came just after Roy Jones Junior.

Floyd's big shtick is that he is "TBE" aka the best ever... This is in part a marketing gimmick but when you watch Floyd do interviews you start to think he GENUINELY thinks he's the best, most talents boxer ever.

In terms of natural talent he is one of the best... But he is CLEARLY not as talented as Roy in his prime, and you'd think this would be glaringly obvious to Floyd himself....

Do you think Floyd actually thinks he is more talented than Roy, or is all the TBE talk just a marketing ploy and he knows deep down he's not as talented? I mean, there was an overlap where Floyd and Roy were both in their their prime at a certain point.... It's not like Roy is some mythical fighter of the past with no video footage.... I'm sure Floyd saw Roy fight in person many times

In terms of fast, super slick boxers Roy and Floyd are maybe the top two fighters people think of... Yet Floyd almost never mentions Roy's name in interviews (in fact, I don't know if he EVER has)... Of course, Roy knows what's up and isn't afraid to talk about other fighters... But Floyd seems almost UNABLE to honestly rate himself against other great fighters...

So is it all a marketing ploy or does Floyd believe his own hype?

Remember...Roy Jones said he "can't be touched" and "can't be rocked" yet Glen Johnson did exactly that.

So

Because Floyd is better than Roy Jones
