Roy Jones dissing Floyd

[Heavyfist]

Funny how all the legends of the sport dis Floyd, say he is a coward, and just generally don't think too much of him.

Who the hell is Paul Upham?

roid jones jr. is one to talk........

"If he beats Pacquiao now it means nothing"? That was a very very ****** thing Roy said. Yes Pac is no longer in his prime but he is hardly that far removed from it.

Pac has lost twice the last couple of years, yes. But put it into perspective, everybody knows he didn't lose to Bradley and the KO loss to Marquez was in a fight he was winning and he has always had a lot of trouble against JMM because of the stylistic nightmare. So really, one loss(against a guy who almost beat him even in his prime) since 2005 and he's still going strong. Of cource Mayweather would still get huge credit if he beats him.

Rehearsing at HBO HQ or training a fighter

Damn I'm sure you know what underwear he had on too. You can probably spot out his favorite pair lol. Roy Jones Jr. got himself a creeper for sure.

Wow, he called May boring and everything.

Maybe it's because Floyd and B-Hop seem to be getting along very good.

Roy/Andre Ward >>>> Floyd/BHop

Lol @ you calling going up to heavyweight to make 100 year history a duck!!!!!!!!!

Had Roy not come back down and still beat Tarver, maybe there would be something really distantly resembling a duck, but what happened was pretty clearly a case of just daring to be greater. When Roy beat Ruiz, there was a part of media who thought he may have been in the top 3 best fighters of all time. You must've forgot if you ever knew in the first place.

P.S. Please don't think you told me something about Roy or the timeline that I didn't know. Please don't think that. Roy's my all time fav fighter and I know more than you or anyone else in here about him who hasn't literally f#cked the dude.

Did I say it was a duck? Roy is my all time favorite fighter and I ahve met him several times. I was a boxing scribe.

I'm not going to go back and forth with you about how much you know about him. I know I have seen every fight of his. I know during his reign he wanted no part of going to Europe and fight guys and know he would have killed. People said he was ducking, I just thought he was the best and he could call the shots. Now that Floyd is the man Roy is hating. Floyd ended up making smarter decisions.

Roy should've hung it up after the Ruiz fight or at least should have fought Holyfield, Tyson or Byrd at Heavyweight. Losing muscle to fight Tarver ruined an at the time impeccable legacy

We know why they didn't fight in 2010. Manny wouldn't do the drug testing.

Wrong! They didn't fight in 2010 because Floyd don't want to work with Arum

[Travdog]

i think he beat tarver when he didn't have much left, so the point is moot...

bottom line is, as long as jones has wins on hopkins and toney, and Tarver on his resume, when it mattered most as another poster pointed out, roy can criticize floyd every day of the week, and the floydboys gotta take it...lol

The point was that Tarver thought Roy was ducking him. Just like Collins, Eubanks, Benn, Dariusz and the like.

Floyd eventually fought Cotto, Mosley, Dela Hoya etc...Does he get the props for having them on the resume?

I'm just saying. Love Roy, Floyd and Mike. My three all time faves

[bigjavi973]

my sentiment exactly..roy never won a title again after the age of 34..floyd is unified in two weight classes going on 38..

RJJ = Fighter of the decade
PAC = Fighter of the decade
FMJ = Ducker of the decade

someone's salty as hell lmao

I joined 4 years before you Blanco, that means YDKSAB and I do... The perfect theory that pretty much depicts the mentality of 90 percent of the posters on the site.
