Jim Rome just ripped Floyd on ESPN

[Joeyzagz]

Rome used to be all over floyds balls and then some. He's done a crap load of interviews with him over the years. If u ever listened to his show he used to drop a bunch of floyd one liners in all the time, **** like "I keeps a private jet" and "step yo game up".

Then he dared ask him a tough question once about how he could really think he was the GOAT and floyd responded with something like "opinions are like ass holes, everyones got one and they all stink".

After that I think jim lost a lot of respect for him. It wasn't like a loaded question either, money just handled it all wrong.

I'm glad though, I'm a big rome fan and I can't stand floyds antics.

Yeah the History between Floyd and ROme is what makes this so shocking. Him and Floyd were buds, and Rome always stuck up for him even supporting the drug tests.

Floyd just lost his last mainstream bridge.

Anyone on ESPN talking about boxing is just nonsense at this point.

Saying Hopkins' win wasn't that great because 'Pascal was a stiff who had no chance' was the last straw for me. If they start to talk boxing, I change the channel.

Rome follows boxing more then the average espn talking head. I like when I see some boxing talk on espn, even if I disagree with it we need all the love we can get. It's pretty sad when golf, nascar, slobs shoving wet hot dogs down their throats, and every other lame ass sport gets 100 times more play then the sweet science. If I see one more spelling bee on espn I'm gonna punch someone in the face...

It's pretty funny how amped up every mainstream reporter is about Pac-May match but they literally don't watch any other fights. Rome might watch maybe a handful a year at best.

Not really, I mean it's not a bad fight but it's definitely not the fight the world has been waiting for. I think father time has just caught up with the whole situation. No one is really buying into the ped testing argument and the vast majority of people pretty much lay all the blame for the fight not coming off at floyds door step. People are just tired of waiting. No one that I know of, hard core fan or not, thinks ortiz stands much of a chance.

Well that's part of the reason Rome is dogging. Rome used to be a big time boxing fan but I wouldn't consider him much more a casual fan now. He doesn't know that Ortiz/Mayweather is a great fight. Your point about Mayweathers interview might be right. It certainly could of rubbed him the wrong way.

why is it that everytime somebody says something negative about floyd, *****s are automatically in attack mode against him?

Do people actually take Rome seriously?? I don't understand all the hype with rome..he's just a bobblehead for espn.If anyone actually thinks Floyd or manny Are scared of one another than watch Rome lol..I feel like they've been stirring the pot for a longtime..The Mosley fight should tell the story of mayweather pacman..pacman couldn't do much of anything to an old Mosley...and people still think he could handle Floyd..Floyd is 10x better than Mosley in his best days..not trying to the but that fight told the tale plain and simple.

Nah Rome is actually better know for his radio show, his tv show on espn is small potatos. As I said rome and floyd used to be tight, till floyd starting saying he was better then ali and sugar ray and all that. Rome is a boxing guy and when he asked him about it floyd freaked and responded with some bull****. Rome does more interviews about boxing on a national scale then most radio talking heads, he's a good dude. Not everyone is gonna be down with floyds antics, u do realize this right?

Rome is not a bobblehead for ESPN, not at all. You can say that about a lot of people on ESPN, but certainly not Rome. Romes always been cutting edge and never one to just follow something because it's the new in thing. He's nothing like the garbage that they show on ESPN.

smart choice: Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

who wants to pay $65 beat down and "possibly" retire back again, unless your diehard floyd fan its an exception. Regular fans IDK.

The fight will sell big. People......Even casual fans want to see him fight anybody. ESPN is the worst place for boxing news. I bet he couldnt tell you anything about Ortiz.

righ
but i bet his dumbass is paying to see pacman beat up on fighters who are old and drained
Jim Rome is a known clown anyways
thats espn's troll
