Roy Jones dissing Floyd

[Evol]

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

I think they're basing that off from the knock out. If pac never got ko I don't think they'll be talking about prime or not. But after the ko U can't even lie to urself that manny is still the same and this is coming from a pac fan.

Ouch, Roy went hard at Floyd calling him boring and a dancer

[Boxing Goat]

Gotta admit, that was very unexpected. Roy has always been respectful of Floyd from what I recall.

He's tired of Floyd's BS like everybody else. Roy went ahead and dared to be great when he could have retired basically undefeated at 50-0 too. (you know he didn't really lose to Griffin)

[Evol]

Why is the floyd fans saying pac shouldnt get the full credit should he win. I thought Manny's style is tailor made for floyd and floyd is gonna pick manny apart and knock him out late? Ya Scurred now? lol

Nigel Benn says hi.

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.

Floyd is as out of prime as Pacquiao, and the KO to me doesn't make Pac out of his prime, it's not like Pac Vs Morales 2-3 when Morales was beat into submission and got KO'd.
And why was he beat into submission, because his reflexes and stamina had diminished over time.

No, Pac was simply caught with a shot, it happens to the best of any great boxer.

But to me, clearly Floyd has aged more than Pacquiao.

Roy carefullly selected his opponents so many good fighters he could have fought not on his resume.

[Evol]

thats not the point we know neither of them are prime but not getting full credit if he beats him is dumb. I dont see people say 'pac will have an asterisk if he beats floyd'..

If some random guy like khan beats pac in 2015 he would get full credit

But pac ain't beating floyd remember? Dont worry lil man ur safe.

In front of network cameras and on his job as a commentator.

But the truth comes out in this environment

Yeah, he might not have thought he was being filmed, but this is how RJJ really feels. I imagine it's true of all the former greats, no matter how diplomatic they try to be.

Exactly.

Hopkins II (earlier)
Calzaghe (when it mattered)
Rochigiani
Michalczewski
Nunn
ect.

He also, went and cherrypicked a HW title with no intention of fighting any other legit guys then ran back down in weight. If social media/forum messages were around when Roy was fighting, he would have been hated on more than Floyd.
