Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: I'd Beat Mayweather, Pacquiao a Tough Style

There's nothing wrong with saying that though.

Hell no it isn't....Me personally I love c o c k y athletes who can back it up. I love confident sports figures who are able to perform at a high level and back up their words. If even others don't believe what you are saying just say it.

If you followed Floyd's entire career, then you would know that countless AA fighters back him up when he was coming out of the Olympics and early on in his career.

However, he started to disrespect and discredit a lot of them, and that's when a lot of them started to dislike him.

100% on Floyd as to why he gets the hate he does.

agreed except I dont know why others care if floyd says he is the best to hype his fights and market himslef to make more money.

You're never gonna make it if you lower your standards. Aim for the moon, and the sky will be yours! To be the best, you've got to feel and imagine you are the best.

Ray would have chased Floyd out of the ring.
They are two different animals of the game.
Leonard loved the competition.
Floyd loves the money.

SRL, unlike FRAUD never, AVOIDED the BEST!!!

Roy might have dementia

Roy seems to be slowing his speech and rambling on in a meaningless dialogue with himself. Sorry to see little Roy going down the path to a padded room or a wheelchair. sad

I remembering watching Mayweather SNR vs SRL not too long ago, and thinking to myself that not only does a 130lb to 140lb Floyd possess traits of his father but a few from Leonard. It's as if he's a combination of both.

Good Observation, Except FRAUD is weak in the "BALLS DEPT!!!

A very good way by RJJ to described Floyd jr and Pac boxing styles and abilities. I believe that Floyd jr has the same opinion about Pacquiao and that's the reason why we are waiting to see that fight between them happened.

I can see this in an attempt to hype fights up....no problem with that.

However, he says just about anything to discredit fighters and is very disrespectful as well. Do you honestly think these guys would not be turned off by Floyd's comments?

People (Floyd nuthuggers) act like these old fighters hate floyd because they are jealous or some other b.s.

For example, for no apparent reason, Floyd went up to SRL and disrespected him (to his face) by belittling his career.

I remember Ray stated he simply didn't like the guy after that, however, I still see SRL be unbaised when discussing Floyd's career.

It's **** like that as to why many don't like him and that has nothing to do with hyping up fights.

Roy isn't jealous of Floyd, nor are other African American boxers.

Are you guys that soft that you get offended every time someone has something negative to say about Floyd?

Every time an black fighter has criticized Floyd it's been for legit reasons.

" Nothing I wrote is inconsistent with my experiences or others as being an African/American males, therefore if your are not African/American then the meaning and context of the statement I wrote obviously went way over your head. Just because jealousy and envy are assumed to be one in the same by most, the fact is they are not."

I don't think its HATE, I think a lot of older fighters are scratching their heads as to why Mayweather is making boat loads of money when his style isn't what one would call entertaining. Although I find Mayweather style entertaining, a lot of people would consider it safe and or boring.

Also I think Mayweather just says a lot of stuff to rattle peoples emotions. Boxers are no different than politicians IMO. Mayweather comes from the old school fight game/era, he respects the great HOF fighters. I don't think him saying he is better than any fighter of the past is disrespectful at all, why not say it if you believe it and you have been nearly flawless in the sport of boxing your entire career & you've learned all the methods and tricks from the old school fight era.

Mayweather paid for Fraziers funeral. Where was George Foreman with all his grill money? Where was Don King? Bob Arum? All of Fraziers sparring partners or opponents? When it was all said and down it was Mayweather jr who stepped up to the plate and handled funeral expenses for the late great Joe Frazier.
