Floyd will turn into the next Roy Jones Jr of boxing

[IronDanHamza]

Here is the problem with this statement:
He was P4P#3 because he beat up Margo..... but Margo had just been caught cheating then had to come out and fight. Not something that is easy to do. Now, if that is not enough, Floyd fans are now saying that Margo, being a cheat, was exposed and a farce. So much so that they are calling the Manny vs Margo (at an even more advantageous weight for Margo) fight a farce.

So imagine, being called #3 P4P because you beat someone who even Floyd fans called a farce.

Secondly, Mosley hadn't fought in almost 1.4 years when he faced Floyd. Even Floyd needed a tuneup fight when he came back from his previous vacation.

Thirdly, by the time Floyd fought Mosley, Mosley was turning 39 and had to endure 2 consecutive training camps.

When Mosley fought Floyd, objectively, he did not look like a #3 p4p fighter. He looked like someone who was at the end of his career.

Finally, in Jan 2009 he fought and became known as #3 for fighting Margo. Then even if you dismiss Margo as being a farce (you know who you are), Mosley needed to prove that he is #3 in May 2010. He didn't unfortunately.

All that being said, i bet you picked Mosley to win right? Just like every person on here who isnt a Mayweather fan. I don't get it, in December 2009 the boxing worlds common knowledge is Mayweather is afraid of Mosley and will get knocked out if they fight, in February when the fights signed, no one believes he will get in the ring with Shane, May 2nd 2010 everyone comes up with these similar excuses that wernt even there before the fight.

Now i know Mayweather gets no credit for any of his fights, i've come to accept that. But damn, Mosley i thought would be different, mainly because everyone said he was ducking Mosley and afraid of him and will loose, dude literally can't win.

Floyd has too much pride to lose.. even if he does lose it won't be via knockout.

???so roy didnt have skills??

Reflexes aren't a skill Larry.

???so roy didnt have skills??

Roy's one of my favourite boxer but he had supernatural athletic abilities and amazing reflexes and he dominated solely on natural ability and reflexes. He didn't have the skills has. Floyd's almost flawless, he does everything correct. Whereas Roy is mainly athletic ability.

[Mr. Philadel]

Roy took risks and challenged himself or better yet dared himself to be greater.....by doing so he got caught and at the same time age was starting to kick in.....as we get older we lose certain things....Floyd on the other hand is NOT takin' risks or challenging himself.....so I dont think he'll turn out to be like Roy.....Roy Jones Jr. is one of the most loved and respected fighters of our era....not to mention P4P one of the best of his era as well as the fighter of the decade in the 90's......Floyd doesn't have that to fall back on....when or IF Floyd ever gets KTFO or loses a fight....not many ppl will be sad.....in fact, I bet ppl will party like its their birthday

Roy>>>>>>>Floyd IMO

[ralph22]

In terms of having a great career and being one of the best ever and then going on a big losing streak. FLoyd is 33 and inactive ..... RJJ was 35 or so when he lost to tarver ....... floyd will get knocked out. and for all you nieve *****s back then ppl thought rjj was INVINCABLE......totally wasnt the case.



Floyd will get knocked out once he faces a young guy or a guy in his prime. look at his last 2 opponents 35 and 38....he hasnt fought anyone legitamate for a long time


Floyd can lose and he will lose soon enough IMO

same with pacquiao as soon as he faces a young,fresh prime fighter he will lose instead of cherypickign the washed up fighters morales,barrera,dlh,hatton,cotto,margarito the resume of the washed ups

[DiLLiNGER]

I doubt it..floyd is not that dumb.

Im not saying roy is dumb but he obviously doesnt care about where his career is gonna end up or what people gonna think about his legacy.

that fight against green was sold..he went down in round 1 from a very funny punch just like briggs..two fighters go down in round 1?

stipe drews sold the fight against green..a source told me green gave him 500k for the belt..if u watch the fight u will see what i mean.

roy jones is an ATG but I think he's a bit punch drunk and he's not thinking straight..he's just fighting without any ambition from what i can see.
