Roy Jones dissing Floyd

[tank17211]

Its funny how most of these commentators go back and forth in regards to Floyd. Its like they are forced to give him credit. But it is Hilarious.

Roy has some good points.

I wouldnt say Roy is dissing Floyd. Floyd is boring he doesnt throw punches anymore. If he wasnt undefeated no one would watch.

so you think pacquiao is still prime?

you think you know more about boxing than roy jones jr.?

shows how much you know. or dont know.

Is Floyd still in his prime?

Floyd might have gotten away with it after the poor JMM III performance and even the Bradley 'loss'.

But not after KTFO6. He can never, ever say he fought a prime Pacquiao after that.

That ship has sailed.

But can Manny say the same thing then if they fight? So, I'd assume people like you will carry over that same logic if Manny somehow wins. He shouldn't get full credit because Floyd isn't in his prime and is two years older than him. Right?

Its a diss. If someone said you screamed like a ***** when you were bite. Its a diss. You can bite through a mouthpiece if you don't know and most of the padding is on top of the glove. You can still get a good grip and it was clear that Marcos mouth was open. I don know if you have been bite by someone with bad intentions. You will have an reaction. Also mentioning that it is pathetic for you to be this generations top pound for pound fighter is a big diss.

Floyd isn't in his prime either, and I would argue that Floyd has slipped more than Pacquiao, atlest when it comes to movement.

With that being said, Pacquiao shouldn't get full credit for the win if thats the case.

Lets not pretend this is 2005-2008 version of Floyd Mayweather.

No, that isn't a fact, it's an opinion. Calling a fighter "boring" is subjective, many of us appreciate the fine aspects boxing over unskilled brawling. Moreover, why aren't all the other undefeated fighters (Ward, M. Garcia, D. Garcia, Wilder, ect.) putting up big PPV numbers or transcending the sport of boxing?

Floyd is about to be 38 but they act like he is prime like he does not age...it is hilarious

[Evol]

It seems like Roy is in front of a crowd that he is not used too and they're liking the stuff that Roy is saying so it looks like Roy is kissing up to them by dissing floyd even more. Regardless it's still funny to see Roy acts like that especially the biting part from floyd lol

In regards to the video, it's pretty shocking hearing this stuff from Roy who's always praised Floyd. This reminds me of Lampley blasting Floyd on his show due to network politics, I think this could be the same thing. It could be a sign that, if Pacquiao-Mayweather happens, Showtime might very well be the network to carry the fight.

But Floyds a duck and a coward, and according to Skip Bayless he is "still" scared, so how can someone not get credit for beating someone they are supposedly scared of.

No one cares what Skip Bayless thinks.

No one is going to be turning to Skip Bayless' opinions in 40-50 years time to learn the story of Mayweather's career. It's the real fans of the sport who'll tell that story.

Manny's career doesn't depend on some notion of invincibility. Floyd's does, to a greater extent at least. For that reason, not fighting a prime Pacquiao will always hurt him a lot more than the reverse hurts Manny.


It's not going to define his career, but it's an asterisk, like Roy says.
