Simple question for Floyd fans...........

[Alex_Hayden]

Why is Jones more popular than Floyd?



I mean, Roy was a defensive fighter, he was hardly shy and retiring when speaking about how great his talent was, he has been accused of not facing the best fighters he could of at certain points in his career, so i ask you, why does he have more fans, why is Roy more universally liked in Boxing circles?

I mean, even with those criticisms being leveled at him about not always facing the guys he should of in certain parts of his career, he is still more universally liked than Floyd Mayweather.

Cause Jones had style/creativity, he bled originality and personality.

Floyd doesn't have that kind of originality or style or personality. He's kind of a clone of a bad rapper. Fur and leather boxing trunks look ridiculous man, lol they aren't hot at all. Its those dudes from the south and east that know how to entertain crowds.

Dudes from the midwest wear awful colors and wear fur and leather boxing trunks lol. They aren't original and don't have good taste for some reason.

Floyd fans are too ****** to know :laugh:
it's simply because Roy was the man, while Floyd is just a piece of shit

Another statement of ignorance. That seems to happen a lot around here. What tests has Pac agreed to? Provide a link also. If your link does not have a quote from Arum or Manny confirming they agreed to full random blood and urine testing up to the day of the fight, then don't bother.

Since you will not be finding that link, I will just correct your question for you. You know, to point you in the right direction. So you can start a thread and maybe seek some answers.

So why has Manny Pacquiao left a 50mil dollar fight hanging in the air? All he has to do is agree to full OST.

Your welcome, I am glad I could help.

WTF where have you been? Just comes out from a possy hole? Its in the front page of Boxingscene few days ago. Pac agreed to everything Floyds demands including blood testing up to the night. You did not wonder why Floyd suddenly went into vacation?

[wazaa.]

because Roy unlike Floyd goes for the kill when needed (knock out). Roy would for example not run in the 12th round against Baldomir.

You guy should log off, lie down, think about what you said.

Most of Roy's career he would refuse to take the lead in his fights, but wait for the opponent to lead so he could set up his offense, even when he did come foward he would try and draw leads to counter, Roy Jones was a defensive fighter, Jones was a safety first fighter.

Bro, Roy was not known for his Defense like Mayweather is.
You can't compare the two, Roy was known for Offense

Roy entertained in the ring....he did things that ppl never seen before...dude was REALLY a SUPERMAN SUPER HERO type....his style may have been defensive but his offense was WICKED....he threw flasy combinations and made things look so dam easy....but I think the way he came back after being DQ'd against Montell Griffin made him more of a icon IMO

[Bring It On]

Roy was a better and more entertaining boxer and a much, much more likeable guy.

[-Huey-]

So why has he left a 50mil dollar fight hanging in the air? i mean its not like there is not a possibility that his opponent wont wash his hands of it, yet mr " i dont fight for legacy, only for money" still aint made the fight, and its not like Pac aint agreed to do tests, he has, its also not like there is a shred of evidence to be asking for the test, yet he is still ready to do commision test and OST to a certain degree, hell id fight Pac for that and let him take what ever he wants.

Floyd is leaving a 50 million payday hanging because that's too much money for him to handle, he knows there is no possible way for him to blow 50 mill that quick, and we all know how Floyd loves going broke at least once a year then come back and blab about being the best and still don't face the best out there.

hmm? coz roy is not gay? haha. and he doesn't talk ****
