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

[Brother Jay]

JMM couldn't do it. He came close but it was not enough. He still lost. That's a fact and not an opinion, and it's in the record books. Deal with it

Yeah ... and PWILL beat LARA. Its on the record books.

Learn something, son. You show no growth here on the boards.

Various times over the last few years.

No they didn't. I believe toney and hopkins did. RJJ didn't do that here, nor do I recall Leonard saying it. I read where Hagler commenetd on floyd should just make the fight. Again, your knowledge and honesty have been compromised by the posts you choose to submit.

I love u roy but u trippin. Mayweather is a defense first fighter,but he can be very offensive,also Roy come to find out chin isn't that great. Roy wouldn't have been able to land those left hooks against Floyd. Until he loses there is no blue print. Castillio had the style and blueprint the first fight and thats. really about it.

Read this:

Manny got humiliated by JMM, but the judges gave him a gift decision.

If JMM could do it, there is no question as to whether a prime RJJ would annihilate him.

Jones supposes that he would beat Floyd based on beating the then #1P4P Toney who is also a defensive genius.

Pac's only chance is a puncher's chance. Meaning he has little skill that would help him in the match but there's a possibility that he could land a lucky punch.

How on Earth do you people call yourselves boxing fans but can't grasp the basic principle that styles make fights? Roy Jones and JMM fight nothing alike, so it has no bearing on how an imaginary fight between Jones and Pacquiao would go down.

And Roy has a point in the Floyd-Toney comparison, now those are 2 guys with similar styles... and Jones had no problem dispensing with him, so it would reason that he believes he'd do the same with Floyd in imaginationland.

People catch feelings way too easily over hypotheticals.

The young Roy Jones, Jr. would probably beat Floyd Mayweather, Jr., because basically Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and James Toney fight with the same style."
when you come back and start talking about Manny Pacquiao, ….. "You got to survive his power first, then you deal with him. That's still yet to be seen. Of course with my size I'll beat him (Pacquio).

Here is the whole quote in case you think I'm making it up or grasping at straws.

Damn! Your dishonesty knows no bounds. You conveniently omitted the crucial part of RJJ's last sentence....

"Of course with MY SIZE I'll beat him, BUT IF I WAS IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD FIGHT TO SEE."

Id expect thats how you'd interpret it. Then again you don't think jabs count in fights so your reasoning is seriously in doubt.

Of course with my size I'll beat him (Pacquio).

Yeah if it was p4p he would still have a size advantage.

Well he knows he is wrong, but he has to defend Floyd at all cost.

Floyd could not even counter Judah, RJJ will make his look foolish. And if Floyd thinks he can match RJJ offense then it is an early night.

James Toney says that because he is VERY VERY TIGHT with the Roach family. I mean Roach was Toneys trainer when he got caught using steroids. We can't take his opinion seriously.

Toney claims he was on prednisone for when he injured his arm against Rydell Booker. Prednisone is a steriod used for healing and it makes u fat. I tend to believe Toney on this one. He was fat as **** against Ruiz. If he was on performance-enhancing steroids, he woulda KO'd Ruiz worse than he KO'd Holyfield. He still tested positive though.

To me, the athletes that definitely take PEDs are the ones that leave the sport for a year or so....like Floyd and even Randy Moss. By being away, they can take all the PEDs they want and NEVER get tested during that time. Then test clean when they come back into the sport.

Roy is a lot better than Jr. during his prime and I agree with him beating Floyd and I also believe about Pac. You have to know his power before you can make your adjustment during the fight, Bradley thinks the same way..if you can handle his power then you can definitely beat Pac. Now, Roy is one of the best fighter I've seen voicing his credible opinion about the top 2 fighters, that just shows why Jr keeps on ducking Pac. Jr's interview with Bob Costas pretty much sums it all up...anyways, Roy would beat Pac if they fought in any division, that I know.

Maybe thats why Floyd has not signed up to WADA testing where you can be tested all year round.

Floyd certainly looks bigger every time he take a year off.
