Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Mayweather is TBE? Never Came Close To What I Did!

"At the end of the day..."

Roy Jones got slept quite a few times, lost some other times. He LOST!

You can't be "the best" and have losses. That's the real reason Chris Eubank dropped "Simply The Best" - because he wasn't. And I say that as a big of his.

ummm that's how you become the best! by testing and challenging yourself! is mikey gracia the best then since he has a perfect record? lol

Obviously Roy was far superior to Floyd and anyone else athletically and his speed and tricks. He did fight on too long, and probably did not have as good fundamental skills to last as long as Hopkins. As for records, everybody knows Mayweather is not truly 50-0, but when you get a lucky decision here and there, as he did, then that's the record 'officially'.

You are part of that false media. Floyd is 50-0, Floyd is T.B.E.

All that Roy Jones has over Floyd is entertainment value, and that was mostly when he was whooping bums.

I appreciate he went up to HW, but he beat John Ruiz who was a pretty good fighter but that's all he was.

RJJ was a great fighter but Floyd's resume is far superior to RJJ's.

I am not sure floyd dominated any division that he fought in. Jones did in one.

But intangibles like made more money dont really amount to great boxing. If we are going intangibles, Jones was in the 2nd biggest scifi movie franchise of all time. Mayweather is in "The Boy". Jones is a video game star, Money wasnt even in Fight Night. Pointless points, see?

Floyd is in a League of his own, he needs his own video game. T.B.E.

Roy is right . Floyd never even tried to go to 160

154 to heavyweight .
Wow almost 50 pounds .

You know how many struggle to go from 160 to 168
Or 160 to 175.

How about 154 to 168??

Roy was phenomenal. Floyd picked and choosed his way through fighters who werent prime . Floyd doesnt have one prime hall of famer in his resume, not one.

It's called PEDs buddy. It's public info. Tony, RJJ, and Mosley were all users.

Its not like he lost to a school teacher OH thats right, does this apply to Manny? And the HYPOCRITES SAY......So manny wasnt as good as his fans say he was, because he lost to a school teacher, and most think he was roided up. And most of you would've hated Sugar Ray Robinson because he was black, just as alot of your parents hated Muhammad Ali because he was black. And most of you probably never seen srr fight in the first place. Just regurgitating sh|t you heard to just be hating on other boxers

For REAL! And all this negative & dumb talk comes from the boxing "experts" that never fought a day in their lives (how can you be an expert of something you have NEVER done?) like doug fisher, dan rafael, jim lampley (oh wait he beat up a female since they like to talk about Floyd's domestic disputes....) & it is regurgitated from the fans that "Don't Know **** Bout Boxing" LMMFAO!

[The Big Dunn]

Roy must have a fight coming up. Otherwise he wouldn't be mentioning Floyd.

[Realizniguhnit]

Yea whatever ROY it's always about "when I was in my prime" with these guys but what's always made Floyd so great is what he could do in the ring well beyond his prime years that you could never do...

[j.razor]

Roy Jones ruined his reputation when he keeps fighting way past his prime.

The question who is better??? Would Jones of fought tp controversal wins over someone like Maidana and Castillo???

No just Montell Griffin & Antonio Tarver....LMAO!

And for the record Floyd did beat them & Roy did beat montell & tarver (the 1st fight).

I like Roy, truly do grew up on watching Roy... but roy went up 5 weight classes, Floyd went up five weight classes, you guys saying Floyd never fought at 160 lets be real has he ever weighed in at 154 on the mark. Roy had a lead right Floyd could do anything with his right, lead, pull counter etc, he was never the same after losing to Antonio Tarver, Joe Calzaghe made a clown out Roy in the fight... he got knocked out by Danny Green somebody he should of beat! Why is this dude even still fighting its not even on a boxing ch.. espn, hbo, showtime, is it even on cbs? that says alot you put so much work in for hbo and they wont even put ur last match on tv. His ppv ratings suck...
