Now that I remember, SRL doesn't have any beef with Floyd. He predicts Floyd beats Pac. And SRL has said that in his prime he beats both. Which is something more realistic to say than "I beat Floyd but not Pac".

Originally posted by Discipline View PostExactly. Hopkins and Toney are the most defensive fighters he fought, and they were able to last 12 full rounds. Mayweather is beter defensively and offensively than both. If the only fighters that a prime RJJ went full rounds were with defensively-adept and counter punchers, what does that tell you about the chances of a defensively-less, slugger like Pac? RJJ is clearly trolling.
RJJ beats both P4P btw.
But really How would Roy land on Mayweather? He had a tough time landing on Hopkins and Toney with clean shots consistently to be honest. Roy has no jab although he has power in both hands. I think the fight with Mayweather would be closer than he states IF they were naturally the same size BUT with the same fighting STYLE.

The Legendary Sugar Ray said he was approached by Mayweather Jr., and Mayweather Jr. began to berate him for losing to a lightweight (another legend, Roberto Duran) when he was in his prime. Sugar Ray recalls at that time smiling
and shaking his head ruefully.
Sugar Ray said: “He said, ‘Ray, you know, if you were in my era you wouldn’t be in the top 10’.
Sugar Ray had compliments and strong advice for Mayweather Jr., adding: “Of all the fighters today, I have to say that Mayweather reminds me the most of me. The kid has every gift and physical attribute, but if he continues to be the type of person he is, he’ll never be up there with us. He’ll never make it."

roy also would be the hardest puncher floyd would have faced, aswell as fastest and probabley only below marquez in terms of ring iq
no one that went the distance with roy lacked an iron mandible(that i can think of)
p.s, toney and hopkins have iron chinsLast edited by SplitSecond; 03-13-2012, 11:59 AM.

Toney stood up for Floyd once, and that was when he said he woulda done the same thing to Ortiz. Other than that, I remember Toney not having kind words for Floyd.
Can you name these "many" black ATG boxers who like Floyd? Name at least 5.
